Fire Starting

Flint & Steel strikers were widely used through
many eras. The designs varied just as widely to take
on personal meaning and showed the variety of
skills that blacksmiths possessed. In the later life of
Flint & Steel fire lighting, many were manufactured
in large quantities, although blacksmiths were still
commissioned to forge unique individual more
robust strikers that threw more sparks and were less
likely to break.

Many debate whether or not the fire piston is a
primitive or modern survival tool. I like to believe it
is both. It was invented in Europe and discovered in
use by primitive tribes in South-East Asia. The fire
piston is by far the most magical and captivating
fire starting method. Unlock some of these
mysteries by learning to make one by watching
