About the size of a small disposable lighter; this handy tool consists of a block of solid magnesium; with a full-length flint sparking insert set into one edge.

The soft magnesium is scraped with a pocket knife into a small pile, which is ignited by scraping the edge of the sparking insert with the knife. Ignites to a temperature of 5,400°F, more than enough to light the most stubborn campfire. Works even when wet. Made in the USA.

Instructions: Scrape off chips of magnesium onto fire materials, then strike the metal edged side with knife, sending sparks into chips to ignite the chips.
