Magnesium Fire Starter Kit

How do I use the magnesium fire starter?

Scrape magnesium shavings onto tinder, then strike the ferro rod with the striker to create sparks. The magnesium burns hot, igniting the tinder.

Does this work when wet?

Yes, magnesium burns at a high temperature and can ignite even when damp, but dry tinder is always best.

What materials is it made of?

The fire starter is made of magnesium, steel, and ferrocerium. It has a matte finish and a rectangular prism shape.

How long does the magnesium last?

The magnesium rod is thick and designed for hundreds of uses. Proper storage extends its lifespan.

What accessories are included?

The kit includes a chain to secure the striker and a flat, elongated striker for striking.

How is this different from a ferrocerium rod?

This product uses magnesium, which creates sparks when scraped. Ferrocerium rods produce higher temperature sparks but require more technique.
