Advanced ‘Flint & Steel’ Fire Lighting

During this Traditional ‘Flint & Steel’ Fire Lighting Masterclass, we will be teaching you the optimal striking technique to use that will consistently create a shower of red-hot sparks, each and every time you strike your Flint & Steel together.

These red-hot sparks will easily allow you to create an ember like a salty-weathered frontiersman of old! This easy-to-learn technique will also help to preserve to life of your Flint, so that it can be used for extended periods of time before it needs to be re-dressed. As a bonus, we will, also, be showing you how you can re-dress / knap a dull Flint shard so that it can be always kept at best possible sharpness, thus guaranteeing your Fire Steel will always produce abundant sparks when needed.

This Masterclass teaches the advanced use of Traditional ‘Flint& Steel’ Fire Lighting with Fire-Steels that are made from high-carbon steel and use a piece of ‘Natural Flint’ or ‘Chert’ to create the sparks. It is NOT intended for use with the Modern Ferrocerium Fire-Steel rods that are struck with the back of a knife or similar item, however, it will still prove incredibly useful for Ferro Striker aficionados as well.
