This ferrocerium firesteel with an ash wood handle produces powerful sparks, letting you ignite tinder in just 1-2 strikes.

Firesteel length: 100 mm, rod diameter: 8 mm.

A ferrocerium firesteel is a tool for starting fires with sparks. The principle is simple: friction from scraping the striker against the rod creates sparks that ignite your tinder. Whether you call it a firesteel, army fire starter, or survival fire starter, the core method remains the same.

Most experienced travelers keep a firesteel on them at all times. Its main advantages are reliability in any conditions, low weight, and compact size. It is perfect for enthusiasts, professionals, and beginners alike—use it to light your fireplace, grill, or campfire. The handle ensures a secure, non-slip grip.
