Antler handled 12.7mm x 127mm Firesteel with small antler scraper

The Antler Handled Firesteel Set with Small Antler Scraper is a unique and sustainable choice for outdoor enthusiasts and bushcraft enthusiasts. Crafted with care and attention to detail, this set combines the natural beauty of antlers with the functionality of a firesteel.

Antler, a Natural Sustainable Material: Deer naturally shed their antlers in the spring after rutting season, ensuring that no animals are harmed in the making of this product. This sustainable material adds a touch of nature to your outdoor gear collection.

The fire steel rod, measuring 12.7mm x 127mm, is securely glued into an antler tine, making it a durable and reliable tool for fire starting. Attached through a hole is a brass quick-release keyring, providing convenience and ease of use. The set also includes a small antler tine with a scraper made from up-cycled file material, ensuring the best performance with the firesteel.

The Brass Quick Release Keyring is not just a functional accessory; it's a versatile tool for bushcraft and everyday carry. Its features include safe storage for firesteels, convenient detachment of EDC tools, and the ability to separate sets of keys for different purposes. Remember, brass will naturally oxidize over time, adding character to your keyring.

The fire steel in this set is capable of producing thousands of sparks when scraped with a hard steel surface. These sparks can reach temperatures over 3000 degrees, making fire starting in any condition a breeze. However, please note that this tool is not a toy and is intended for adult use only.

Moreover, while commonly known as firesteels, these rods may also be known as Ferrocerium rods, Magnesium rods (even though they are not made of magnesium), and Modern Flint Fire Starters. Regardless of the name, the functionality remains the same—generating sparks for fire starting.

Using a firesteel is simple yet effective. When struck against a hard surface, such as the scraper included in the set, the rod produces sparks that can ignite tinder material. Proper preparation of tinder, such as shredding and unravelling it into a nest-like form, is crucial for successful fire starting.

The Advantages of using a firesteel are numerous. It lights quickly, lasts long, is waterproof and windproof, and remains functional even if cracked or snapped. With proper care and storage, fire steel can be a reliable tool for outdoor adventures.
