This Mini Strike Master Fire Starter will always give you a means for fire starting, or a way to start your camp stove or lantern. It's a long, high-tech "flint" bar embedded in a bar of magnesium, along with a striker/scraper. Under normal conditions, you can light most dry tinder with just one or two scrapes along the "flint" bar. In more difficult situations, you can even light damp tinder by scraping a pile of magnesium with the attached scraper and direct a spark onto it from the "flint".

In a survival situation, keeping warm is of primary concern. Almost everything else can wait. The K1 "Sparky" Fire Starter is designed for this purpose and is small enough to carry with you at all times. The K1 is made of a stick of flint and a stick of magnesium fused into one unit. It is operated by using the included scraper to shave magnesium flakes into a pile, then again using the scraper on the flint side of the K1 to ignite the magnesium. The magnesium will burn at 5400 degrees making it possible to ignite even damp or green tinder. Because the K1 is designed for 1000 strikes, it is a very reliable and long lasting fire starter. The "Sparky" can also be used as a signaling device as the sparks can be seen for over 3 miles. The K1 "Sparky" fire starter comes complete with flint-magnesium stick, scraper, leather holder or key chain and instructions.

Survival Tip
In survival situations where you may need to start a fire, always have special considerations worked out as a means of preparedness. Ask yourself, what happens if you break one of your hands? Can you light a fire with just one hand? How about your weak hand? Can your fire kit survive a dunking in water? Can you light a fire in the pouring rain? Can you light a fire on top of snow?
