Hi, if your looking for that flint and steel set that includes a very large quality flint rock then this set is most likely the one you would want to have.

This set produces a really nice spark and the items in the picture are pretty much  the same I'm selling except the flint rock varies in color and shape, and to be honest most of the large flints I have now are about the same length as shown in the picture but even wider. Todays tip on use is to maintain a sharp edge on the flint. You can place the flint on a hard surface such as a piece of steel and with a portion of the flints edge hanging over the edge of that hard surface lightly nick the flint with a small tack hammer on the edge. You can feel the difference with your finger and see the difference with the amount of sparks. You also can try using the side edge of the steel striking the edge like a hammer. My favorite way is to turn the steel so the open end hits the flint and just strike the edge and that will chip it some. Then turn the steel around like normal to get your sparks.

Fire Starting Kit contains;

1 C-Shaped hardened steel sparking striker at 3 1/2 inches in length. I consider this a four finger striker.

7  pcs. of quality (tested) charred cloth in a reusable heavy  protective thick 4 ply (stay dry) plastic zip lock bag.

2 jute twine pieces that one can make into a small birds like nest.

1 large hard flint rock with nice sharp edges. 

1 birds nest of natural manila fibers with an extra rope piece for making more nests stored in a protective thick plastic zip lock (stay dry) bag.

Instructions on use and instructions for making more quality charred cloth.

1 large reusable 4ply clear zip lock plastic bag to store kit in and keep dry. Size is 6 inches wide X 9 inches tall.

Thank you very much for looking!

Here is an e-mail comment from a satisfied buyer:

"Thanks, great item. perfect for the outdoorsman....".

And yet another: "I have tried several products and yours is the best."

Note: Kits that I sell have been field tested by boy scouts in my area (and people like you). When used correctly they produce a shower of hot sparks. Follow the directions in the kit to learn my most consistant and quick way of getting that quality charred cloth lit. Works great for fire starting competitions and you can start a fire within 15 seconds or better (with practice). Directions include several sketches to help you. Please use in a safe environment.

This striker was heat treated in a professional heat treat oven, and I have also checked its quality with a toolroom diamond hardness test machine. Please read my reviews and visit (me) to learn more about how I became involved in flint and steel fire starting the primitive way. Your hand will fit very comfortably in the striker and don't forget these things spark really good. I always test the flint and steel before I ship them to you so that way I know your getting a quality set.  My 30 years of toolmaking experience gave me the confidence to produce and sell a quality sparking product to you at a great price.
