Heart shaped Fire Steels have always been popular throughout the history of Traditional Fire Lighting, not only were they a symbol of Love but also a practical design due to the outside curve that gives the perfect arc when striking against flint. Heart shaped Fire Steels were very popular back in the 17th & 18th Century in regions such as France and Spain and the heart shape was even used in 'open work' detail  on Fire Steels dating back to the 16th Century. We have tried to capture the romance of the heart shaped Fire Steels at Shark Tinderbox/Beaver Bushcraft by reintroducing the shape both for men and women. 

This  traditional styled Heart' shaped steel striker is used for traditional ‘Flint & Steel’ fire making. Used with Amadou tinder fungus or Char Cloth, the sparks created from this top quality steel striker will easily form an ember that can be used to ignite a tinder bundle. This Fire Steel has been given a 5/5 rating as it's extremely easy to use, ideal for begineers or the more experienced traditional fire lighter. Ideal for adding into a Tinder Pouch or Tinder Box, also makes a perfect gift for the more romantic bushcrafter.  

Please note no Flint or Tinders are included in this sale. You can add one of our Starter Tinder Pouch Kits which contains some Flint & tinder samples to start you on your Flint & Steel journey. See Drop Down Menu.
