How does it work?

The magnesium flakes scraped from the soft rod burn 8 times hotter than a match.

Each Survivor Firestarter comes complete withe a steel blade and a leather strap.

Blades are pre-sharpened to ensure maximum spark. Maintain Sharpness by honing or grinding blade edges, keeping them square.

TO USE: Hold the firestarter so that the tip is resting on the ground and the flint is on top.

PRESS HARD WITH THUMB WHEN STRIKING. Tinder should be close to tip of the firestrater.

The FLINT stone is hot enough to light any fine material such as moss, dry grass, pine needles, steel wool, cloth, paper, etc.

The MAGNESIUM can be scraped into shavings, bunched together, and ignited with the flint to produce a white-hot starter fire of about 5,400 degrees.

Helpful Hints

The magnesium shavings should be scraped onto a hard surface such as rock or metal.

Large Shavings burn better and can be produced by applying pressure with thumb when scraping.

When possible, Fray edges of timber before striking.

The striker is actually a high carbon steel hacksaw blade with the teeth ground off for your safety. It is better to use the smooth side.

Having trouble getting a good spark? Make sure:
a) Edges of blade are square
b) Pressure is applied with thumb
c) Scrape at a 45 degree angle

“More Pressure = More Sparks”
