                          Fire Striker, High Carbon Steel (Tempered), Double Rolled

This forged fire striker is based on historical originals as  were used in the Early Middle Ages. The ends of the fire steel are double rolled.

Scraping the fire steel 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.
