Swap out a match for the convenience and durability of the Kershaw Fire Starter. Featuring a magnesium firesteel shaft and chrome-plated striker this fire starter kit is an essential addition to your dry-box supplies. To use simply gather a small pile of dry grass wood shavings or other flammable materials and hold the magnesium firesteel shaft close to the pile quickly drawing the striker down the shaft at a right angle to produce sparks. The sparks will ignite the dry materials and you can add larger materials to the fire until it is at the desired size. Rain snow or sleet can t stop this magnesium alloy fire starter from achieving the spark you need. Small enough to fit in your pocket or hang on a key ring you can take the fire starter on any adventure. Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own carry and use. Whether it s a hardworking pocketknife a hunting knife or a special collectors edition Kershaw always chooses appropriate high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftmanship.
