A few notes on the Polaris……the degree markings on the right of the Fire Steel are degrees of arc in the sky. The arc distance is measured using the distance between the stars are just there as an informational guide, as is the ruler at the bottom - top scale is in 1/8 inches and bottom scale is in mm.

This Fire Steel is not for the faint of heart and is a serious piece of kit.  It is quite chunky but will still fit in a Tinderbox or Tinder Pouch but also can be worn around the neck and still be totally functional as a traditional flint and steel striker. 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.  Please note any other items seen in the photos are not included with this item, they are for display only.
