A hand-forged fire striker made of carbon steel, as commonly used in the early Middle Ages.
This medieval fire steel is modeled on an artefact found in a grave in Bavaria.
Scraping the firesteel with the sharp edge of a flintstone generates sparks that ignite the dry tinder which begins to smoulder. So-called tinder fungi usually served as tinder: The mushroom-like bracket fungi were harvested from the tree trunks and soaked in a nitrous solution or rubbed with black powder to allow them to kindle.

Customer reviews for "Germanic Fire Striker"

Kleines Schlageisen
Auf den Bildern dachte ich, das Schlageisen wäre groß genug für vier Finger, aber es passt nur für drei. Die Funktion wird dadurch nicht beeinträchtigt, es arbeitet einwandfrei. Verschiedene Faktoren sind wichtig: 1. Der richtige Stein. 2. Scharfe Bruchkante. 3. Geschwindigkeit. 4. Länge der Reibung. Der Stein braucht eine scharfe Kante, um feinen Metallabrieb zu erzeugen. Damit dieser sich entzündet, ist Temperatur erforderlich, die durch Reibung und Geschwindigkeit erzeugt wird. Schließlich hilft reichlich Übung.
