Magnesium Firestick (Fire Steel)

The Firestick is an outdoor igniter of the extra class. Simply rub a piece of metal with pressure and higher speed from top to bottom over the fire steel, and the sparks will start flying. These should fall onto a tinder and ignite it, e.g., with tinder like fatwood, birch bark, or cotton. A great companion in the wilderness that should not be missing from any adventure backpack. Nothing stands in the way of a decent campfire. The fire steel is good for several thousand ignitions and works even in wet and cold conditions. By the way: The sticks are handmade in the small manufactory of Der Werkkiste. After some ignition attempts, the dark coating will show silver traces, but the sticks will continue to function perfectly. The handle is made from a piece of local branch wood with bark and is a unique item. Dimensions Length of fire steel: approx. 5 cm Length of handle: approx. 6.5 cm Material of handle: local branch wood with bark Attention: Use only under adult supervision. And please note: When making a fire, you are also responsible for keeping it under control. A lot of water is needed to extinguish the embers – often much more than you think. Afterwards, you should be able to put your hand in the ashes without burning yourself.
