Short description
Viking fire starter kit, including a hand-forged Viking Age fire striker replica, flint stone and instructions for use.Productdetails...
Fire-making kit with instructions, stone and fire steel.
Here you can buy a Viking fire-starter kit with authentic Viking Age fire steel, flint stone and instructions for making tinder.The curved shape of the fire steel is typical of the Viking Age, but it was also common among Germanic tribes and Slavs in the early Middle Ages. The fire steel is made of carbon steel and produces sparks easily.
The fire-making kit is supplied with a 10 x 4 cm large fire striker and a flint stone, the sharp edge of which is ideal for producing sparks, as well as instructions on how to make your own tinder in German and English.
Make fire like the Vikings did: With a little practice, you can easily start a fire with a fire steel, flint and the right tinder.
To do this, strike the sharp edge of a flint with a fire steel so that small sparks are created that jump to the tinder. To do this, you should hold the supplied bulrush tinder as close as possible to the edge of the flint.
Once the tinder has been made to glow, you can create a delicate flame by blowing steadily and carefully. You should "feed" it as quickly as possible with more tinder, for which rotten wood fibres, birch paper or thin pine shavings are suitable, for example.
