Strikefire Firesteel

from £9.95

The most reliable means of producing fire outdoors.

The StrikeFire is a new British made product using the best ferrocerium rod available, a hardened steel scraper.

The StrikeFire Firesteel is the model we use on all our courses, and one I personally carry on every excursion we undertake to rely on everyday. The difference I've found between cheap versions and quality ferrocerium comes down to their use at those crucial moments, where you need to drive strong large sparks into marginal tinder after a day or two of rain. A good firesteel will allow you to easily peel shavings off the end of the rod without igniting, and is volatile enough to use with cold hands using gross motor muscles to start your fire. That, ultimately is why I use StrikeFire. - Jamie Dakota

In this quick slide show I'd demonstrate the typical way I use a pocket knife and a firesteel to prepare birch bark for fire lighting.
