The NDuR Fire Steel & Striker Small is a compact and reliable fire-starting tool designed for outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and campers. It consists of two main components: the fire steel rod and the striker.
The fire steel rod is made from a high-quality ferrocerium alloy, which is a pyrophoric material. This means that it produces a shower of hot sparks when scraped against a hard surface. The rod is typically around 2 to 3 inches long and has a diameter of approximately 1/4 inch. It is designed to withstand rough handling and adverse weather conditions.
The striker, often attached to the fire steel rod via a lanyard or chain, is used to strike the rod and generate sparks. It is typically made of a durable metal, such as stainless steel or magnesium, with a hardened edge for optimal performance. The striker may have a flat or serrated edge, depending on the manufacturer and model.
To use the NDuR Fire Steel & Striker Small, you hold the fire steel rod firmly and position the striker at a 45-degree angle against the rod. Apply pressure and scrape the striker forcefully along the rod, creating a shower of sparks. The sparks, which can reach temperatures of around 5,500°F (3,000°C), are directed onto a tinder bundle or dry kindling to ignite a fire.
One of the key advantages of the NDuR Fire Steel & Striker Small is its reliability in various weather conditions, including wet and windy environments. Unlike matches or lighters, it does not rely on fuel or flame, making it a dependable tool for fire starting in challenging situations. Additionally, the small size of this fire steel and striker combo makes it portable and easy to carry in a backpack or pocket.
Overall, the NDuR Fire Steel & Striker Small is a versatile and durable fire-starting tool that provides a dependable method for creating sparks and igniting fires in outdoor settings.
