I have been using this type of firestarter for years, and now I'm trying this fun activity with my grandson. Vacation is the perfect time to strike the firestarter on flint or on your fingers – it brings you closer together. The firestarter, made of high-carbon steel, sparks excellently. I still need to learn how to acquire cotton or tinder, because without these skills the firestarter will remain just a gadget. The process of sourcing materials is interesting, though a bit dirty. I wish you lots of fun.

Njord Fire Steel Large
A traditional fire steel, commonly known as a blacksmith's steel, designed after medieval fire-starting tools.
Forged carbon steel with high hardness, flint and leather pouch included
Made from forged carbon steel hardened to a hardness of 57 HRC, for high durability and wear resistance. Comes with a flint for creating sparks and a leather pouch for easy carrying.
Directions for use
To start a fire with a traditional fire steel, use a flint and tinder, a flammable material that will capture the sparks. Fire steel should be struck against an attached piece of flint, placing the tinder(e.g. charred cotton or other material capable of capturing sparks) on the edge of the flint. The sparks that occur will fall onto the hub, causing it to glow. The tinder should then be placed in a dry material, such as grass, vegetable fluff or wood shavings, and the embers blown to produce a flame.

The fire starter is small, but it works – just clean off the grease. The flint is very small, about the size of a fingernail, not like shown in the picture, so it's better to find your own.

The traditional Njord Medium firestarter is above all a masterful work by Kowalski. It works reliably and allows you to master the old method of making fire. A great choice for survival enthusiasts as well as an original gift.
