High Intensity Flint and Steel Set
Price- $16.95   Add to cart


A premium kit with everything you need to begin making fires the way the "mountain men" did in the 1800's  This "High Intensity" Set includes a high carbon steel striker formed in the traditional "C" shape. The "high carbon" refers to the hotter temperature and large quantity of sparks the steel will produce.  More and hotter sparks will make it easier to catch a spark on the char cloth.  You also get a metal char cloth container and a larger quantity of jute tinder and raw cotton (which you use to make more char cloth.

A 14 page instruction booklet is included with each set.

Do you want to carry the easiest "old-time" way to start a fire without matches or lighters?  There is little question that flint and steel is the way to do that.

Included in the set is a high carbon steel striker shaped to fit comfortably in your hand, 2 pieces of flint, char cloth (to catch the sparks), tinder, instructions, and a tin to carry it all in.  The tin also doubles as a container for making char cloth.

Standard Flint and Steel Set
Price- $13.95   Add to cart 

A complete kit with everything you need to begin to make fires the way people did from the Roman times to the "mountain men" of the 1800's.  This kit contains flint, steel, char cloth, tinder, shredded cotton, tin and a 14 page instruction booklet.

This "Standard" size kit comes in a shorter tin container than the "High Intensity" Kit and therefore contains less jute tinder and shredded cotton.  It also has the "U" shape striker.  The tin also doubles as a container for making additional char cloth.
