Recycled Bullet cartridges Slow Match & Spare

Handcrafted Recycled Brass Cartridge Slow Match with Spare Taper (37" / 95cm)

Crafted from upcycled brass shell casings, this traditional Slow Match Rope Lighter provides a reliable, windproof ember for bushcraft, camping, and historic fire-making.

Unlike liquid-fuel lighters that fail in high winds or dry out over time, a slow match uses a slow-burning cotton rope (taper) that catches a spark effortlessly from a ferro rod, flint & steel, or wheel striker. Pulling the glowing ember back inside the brass cartridge snuffs it out cleanly and preserves your cord for future fires.

Key Features:

• Upcycled Brass Construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant body made from genuine repurposed brass cartridge casings.

• Windproof Tinder Source: Holds a steady, glowing coal even in high winds, stormy mountain weather, or damp conditions.

• Generous Cord Length: Includes two full lengths of dense cotton slow-match rope (main + spare) totaling 37 inches (95cm) for dozens of fires.

• Clean & Fuel-Free: No lighter fluid, gas, or chemical residue—just pure, reliable sparks caught on charred cotton.

• Pocket & Kit Ready: Compact design fits easily into any tin, pouch, or field survival kit.

How to Use:

1. Expose the charred end of the cotton rope from the top of the brass cartridge.

2. Strike a spark using a flint & steel or ferrocerium rod onto the charred tip until an ember forms.

3. Gently blow on the ember to build heat and transfer it to your tinder bundle.

4. Pull the rope back down into the cartridge casing to extinguish the ember instantly.
