The Traditional 'Flint & Steel' Tinderbox-Pouch is a great little fire making kit that is both a traditional and a very dependable way of making fires. The principle of spark based fire lighting has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, so it has well and truly stood the test of time. These handcrafted 'Merchant Tinder Pouches' captures a time gone by when people carried their Tinderpouches around with them from place to place whether it was used to light a candle, a pipe or simply a fire to cook on or to keep warm.

The sparks created from ‘Flint & Steel’ were much more efficient at creating an ember, generating hotter and longer lasting sparks that would catch on a wider variety if tinder. Millennia before the development of the modern day match, gas and petrol lighter, the well-practiced hands of our forebears would have deftly used this kind of ‘Flint & Steel’ fire lighting kit for making fires in mere seconds.
