This particular design of Fire Steel has been around for quite some time. Designed to be sewn into the side of a Pouch or with a leather tab sewn onto the edge of a Belt. It was one way of keeping your fire Steel on you and safe at all times. This Steel Striker is both easy to hold and use,and it is small enough to be placed in a Tinderbox or Tinder Pouch if you don't want to make it into a Fire steel Pouch or belt.
With the development of steel, however, the process was dramatically improved, transforming the technique into a worldwide phenomenon. The use of steel produced much hotter sparks when struck against Natural Flint, compared to the relatively cool sparks produced from Pyrite & Flint. These hotter sparks made the whole process of fire lighting a whole lot easier and a heck of a lot more reliable, it also enabled a greater variety of Tinder types to be used.The use of sparks to create fire is an ancient technology that stretches back through the annals of time for well over 14,000 years. From its inception to around 2,000 years ago this fire lighting technique was used with nodules of Iron Pyrite and Natural Flint.
