The American Made Strike Master K1 Magnesium Mini Survival Fire Starter will always give you a means for fire starting, or a way to start your camp stove or lantern. It’s a long, high-tech “flint” bar imbedded in a bar of magnesium, along with a striker/scraper. Under normal conditions, you can light most dry tinder with just one or two scrapes along the “flint” bar. In more difficult situations, you can even light damp tinder by scraping a pile of magnesium with the attached scraper and direct a spark onto it from the “flint”. 1/8″ flint 1/4″ magnesium. 1,000 strike flint To ignite damp tinder To ignite fine dry tinder To ignite gas Generates sparks of 5400 degrees F Signal, fire, light. In a survival situation, keeping warm is of primary concern. Almost everything else can wait. The K1 “Sparky” Fire Starter is designed for this purpose and is small enough to carry with you at all times. The K1 is made of a stick of flint and a stick of magnesium fused into one unit. It is operated by using the included scraper to shave magnesium flakes into a pile, then again using the scraper on the flint side of the K1 to ignite the magnesium. The magnesium will burn at 5400 degrees making it possible to ignite even damp or green tinder. Because the K1 is designed for 1000 strikes, it is a very reliable and long lasting fire starter. The “Sparky” can also be used as a signaling device as the sparks can be seen for over 3 miles. The K1 “Sparky” fire starter comes complete with flint-magnesium stick, scraper, leather holder or key chain and instructions.
