Fire starter kit with instructions, fire striker and flint.
Here you can buy a kit for making fire, including an authentic Viking Age fire striker, flint and instructions for making tinder.The boat-shaped form of the fire striker is very characteristic of Viking times. However, they were also used in this way by Germanic tribes, Slavs and even in the later Middle Ages.
The fire striker is forged from high-carbon steel and produces sparks easily. It measures 8 x 2.5 cm.
The "Make Fire" kit also comes with instructions in German and English on how to make your own tinder, as well as a flint with a sharp edge that is good for producing sparks.
Fire making like in the Viking Age: With fire striker, flint and dry tinder you can easily start a fire with a little practice.
If you strike a flint with a fire steel against a relatively sharp edge of a flint, sparks are easily created which can jump over to a suitable tinder. To do this, hold the supplied bulrush tinder as close as possible to the edge of the flint.
As soon as a spark has caused the tinder to glow, you get a delicate flame by blowing evenly and carefully, which you must "feed" as quickly as possible with more tinder, such as birch paper, rotten wood fibres or thin pine shavings.
