Fire-making kit from the late Middle Ages.
Here you can buy a medieval fire-making kit with hand-forged fire striker of the late Middle ages, flint and instructions.The B-shaped shape of the fire striker was widespread in the late Middle Ages. The 9.5 x 4.5 cm fire steel is made of high-carbon steel and produces sparks easily.
The medieval fire-making kit comes with a flint stone, which is great for producing sparks, as well as instructions for making tinder in German and English.
Make a fire like in the Middle Ages: With a bit of practice you can easily start a fire with fire steel, flint and dry tinder.
To do this, simply strike the flint steel against the sharp edge of the flint stone, which immediately produces sparks that jump to the tinder if it is close enough to the edge of the flint stone.
Once the tinder has been made to glow, you can create an initial delicate flame by blowing steadily and carefully, quickly adding more tinder. Well-rotted wood fibres, birch paper or thin pine shavings are best suited for this.
