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 traditional fire steel Medium
A traditional fire steel, known as a blacksmith's fire, is inspired by medieval fire-starting tools.
High carbon forged carbon steel, flint and leather pouch included
Crafted from forged carbon steel hardened to 57 HRC, this tool is built for maximum durability and excellent wear resistance. Includes a flint for spark creation and a leather pouch for convenient portability.
Directions for use
To ignite a fire using a traditional fire steel, strike it against flint while utilizing tinder—flammable material that captures sparks. Swipe the fire steel against an attached flint piece, placing the tinder (such as charred cotton or any material adept at catching sparks) on the flint's edge. Generated sparks will land on the tinder, making it glow. Place the glowing tinder within dry material, like grass, vegetable fluff, or wood shavings, and gently blow on the embers to create flames.

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.
