User questions & answers

Question:	What is the country of manufacturer
Answer:	Yes it does
Question:	Approximately how many strikes will it last
Answer:	Great question, Our product is a single rope that is approximately 5.5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. When separated a whole stick is made of 33 smaller strands and each strand will burn for 8 minutes.
Question:	Can you scrape pieces of the rod into your kindling with the striker itself? Or only use it to strike
Answer:	Yes it can! Black Beard Fire Starters were specifically designed to light with a spark from a ferro rod.
Question:	Does it have magnesium
Answer:	The company sells an excellent arc lighter that looks just like the much lower price on the Amazon app. I’d check and see that it has the same features, I have the Black Beard one, it works every time, floats, hold a charge and they claim 300 uses, I haven’t used it 300 times, but it’s holding its charge and worth the money.

User questions & answers

Question:

Does it come with a pouch like the description says

Answer:

You get one that you cut off what you need. It takes very little to get your fire going. Excellent product, the price is well worth it, you can start a ton of fires if you use a small amount of the waterproof fire starter. I’d buy a dual arch lighter to go with it. They are a necessity because they float, waterproof and light up to 300 times on a 90 minute charge, depending on which one you select. The price is worth the need for a product like this, when you really need it, you’d pay a $100. My go-to fire starter, even at hone in the fire pit.

Using PSKOOK Flint and Steel

Tips:

This Kit does not contain charcloth due to the safety of transposition. A pure cotton cloth is included to help you make one.

We have a video toturial online [ youtube channel: PSKOOK go]about how to make char cloth.

Tin box and cotton cloth- Mini CarbonizationTool

Place a small piece of char cloth on the top of the flint as shown. The goal is to shave off a very small strip of metal that will burn and land on the char cloth. Striking down at about a 30-degree angle should create a spark or two, which will cause the cloth to glow red where they land. This often happens on the edge of the cloth and is hard to see in bright sunlight. If a spark lands on the char cloth, wait and blow gently on it until you see either a glowing crescent or nothing. If nothing, go back to striking.

Tips:

Gather firewood, kindling, and tinder. Char cloth won't burn hot enough to light a log all by itself. Just like any fire, you'll need tinder (dry grass, bark shavings, newspaper), kindling (twigs and small branches), and of course the logs themselves. Char cloth makes it easy to start this chain and light the tinder.

Char cloth is most useful during damp weather, when tinder is more difficult to light.

Spread the flame. Blow on the glowing char cloth to get the heat to spread across it. (Fire Bellow is included in this Kit) Pick up the tinder bundle and gently push the sides up and over the cloth, until they start burning.

Tin box and cotton cloth- Mini CarbonizationTool

Step 1: Make the Char Tin

Punch a hole in the lid. Stab a hole in the top with an awl or a nail and hammer. It should be about large enough to stick the tip of a pen through, but not the whole pen. Gases and hot air will escape through this hole, preventing the tin from exploding.

after that you are ready to char some cloth. For a can without a lid, wrap the top tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 2: Choose natural fabric.

An old, clean 100% cotton T-shirt or pair of denim blue jeans are good options. White cloth is best, since it's easy to tell when it's charred and there's no risk that dye will interfere. Most dyed cloth will work fine, but never use cloth that contains synthetic material. Also with no plastic or rubber parts

Cut the fabric into pieces. The fabric will shrink during charring, so 2 inch (5 cm) squares of fabric will leave you with a small but manageable piece of char cloth.[4] There's no need to measure exactly or get even edges. Just eyeball the size and cut up the fabric with a pair of scissors.

Drop the fabric squares into the container, keeping them mostly flat. You can leave space in the tin or nearly fill it, as long as you don't tamp down the fabric.

Step 3: Put It on the Fire

Now just start a fire not a blazing inferno just a calm fire or you can use the embers (lots of embers, this usually works much better) set it somewhere in the fire where it will not fall over and watch it you will eventually see smoke billowing out or it might start on fire. Don’t freak out just let it burn itself out and when there is no more smoke coming out take it out. What ever you do DONT! Take the lid off right away just wait a little while for two reasons. one it is probably really hot! and two if you open it before it cools, the oxygen will rush in and might start the whole thing on fire.

Step 4. Remove the lid and Inspect the cloth

if is kinda soft completely black and is not very fragile then it is perfect. then you should take it out of the can and separate each piece gently.

If the cloth isn't fully black, return it to the tin and heat again. Make sure there is no smoke leaving the tin before you take it off.

If the cloth crumbles to dust when touched, then you left it on the fire too long. Try again with new fabric.

Step 5: Light It Up

now all you have to do is let any kind of spark fall on it and it will glow red with a hot ember but no flame or for all those tech freaks you can just use a lighter but it burns it up fast. for all you primitive and medieval people like me this is the exact way the people back then made char cloth

High Carbon Steel

• High carbon steel with special treatment can produce huge sparks
• Flint Steel Striker is one of the most traditional ways of firelighting.

Pocket-Size Fire Bellows

• Material: 304 Stainless steel
• Size when collapsed: 5.9"(15cm)
• Size when extended: 23.8"(60.5cm)
• The Pocket-size Fire Bellows helps you spread the frame. Long enough to protect your face, hands, hair from getting burnt

User questions & answers

Question:	Where’s it made
Answer:	USA
Question:	Does this kit come with the char can also
Answer:	It is close to 16” including the filter on the bottom of the unit
Question:	Is there a link to the video? I could not get this to create a spark for the life of me, so wondering if there is some trick to how to strike it
Answer:	The one I received is not TY, it was also damaged so it was returned
Question:	Does the pouch have a belt loop on the back
Answer:	There is no setting to do this. But the plastic 3 legged support that moves the turntable pulls right out for cleaning. So you could just remove that and replace the turntable. Remember that the turntable helps even out the cooking/reheating, though, so disabling the feature is probably not recommended.

User questions & answers

Question:	How Long is the Paracord
Answer:	The steel striker is made by a English blacksmith.
Question:	Can you take this on a carry on in a plane
Answer:	Mine didn't but you can make your own with an alltoids , leather pouch only fits the steel and a small baggy of char . The steel won't fit in an alltoids can .
Question:	Is the paracord long enough to hang around your neck
Answer:	I hold the steel in my right hand. Hold the flint in left hand firmly. Char cloth laying on top of flint even with the edge of flint & held in place by thumb. use quick short downward motion with handoff holding the steel against the flint striking only the very edge of flint. Flint edge works best when it is sharp since you are actually shaving off bits of steel which is creating the sparks. Many good YouTube videos which visually demonstrate technique. Once you "get" it you can make sparks with many other materials. This is a very good steel & kit, good luck
Question:	Is the compass accurate
Answer:	Yes it does.It is shown in one of the pictures but you will have to click the images for all the images to show up.I hope that helps.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Regards

Product description

We are dedicated to creating and developing high quality products for outdoor enthusiasts.



Our ferrocerium rod is made from mischmetal, an alloy that produces sparks when strike. It

requires no flints, lighter fluid, batteries or replacement parts. They never have to

be re-supplied and they don’t jam, get damp, or fail like matches and butane lighters.



Usage Directions



√ Remove the coating, the ferro rod comes with a paint of coating that prevents oxidation

√Prepare effective tinder, such as cotton balls, jute twine, sisal fiber, very fine organic fibers,

dry grass and tissue etc.

√ Scrape some ferro powder on tinder, use the serrated end of the scraper, angle the scraper

at about 45-degree angle. Place the end of the rod right next to the tinder, place the scraper on

top of the rod and drag the rod back. If you whittle the scraper, you may bump your tinder away

from the sparks.

√ Put it in a ziplock bag after you use it so the moisture doesn't get to it.

User questions & answers

Question:	What functions does the multi function striker have
Answer:	Perhaps they have reduced the number of rods in an order from 10 to 8 and did not change the photo. That's all I can think of.
Question:	How much does one rod/striker combo weigh
Answer:	it says they weigh 1 ounce in the description
Question:	How many strikes can you do
Answer:	Sometimes there is a coating on them. I take mine to a wheel grinder and knock off some of the black. I also take a piece of sawzall blade, wrap some duct tape around 1 end and use that. Worked on every rod I have and I have a bunch of makes and sizes.
Question:	Do you get 1 orange and 1 black one for a total of 2 in the package? What is the difference between the orange and black one
Answer:	3 inches. Drill a hole in a wooden dowel. Crazy Glue the ferro rod into the dowel. Then drill a hole at the far end of the dowel and run a piece of 550 paracord through it to hang it around your neck.

User questions & answers

Question:	how loud is the whistle? dB
Answer:	My experience with this rod is you cannot scrape off bits of rod material like the inexpensive fire starters you can get at Harbor Freight. BUT... you do not need to. Striking this rod produces some very strong and hot sparks. I have had no problems starting a fire by striking sparks into a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly.
Question:	How does it start the fire
Answer:	Yes. Ferrocerium rod is made from Iron, Magnesium and mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal with an excellent pyrophoric percentage : 98%min.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do you suggest for the striker? The back of a pocket knife? Can a hard stone be used? What type of "striker" does this need
Answer:	I wouldn't use the back of a pocket knife. It could close on you at the wrong time. OUCH! Some still advocate using a knife's blade as a striker. A little tough on the blade but an effective striker, nonetheless. If I only had a pocket knife, I'd use its (sharp side of the) blade as a striker. Ideally, you'd have and would use the back of a fixed blade knife or a dedicated (store bought or home made) striker. This striker is drilled. Attach a lanyard & a small striker & it'll always be ready to go.
Question:	What does Each rod weigh
Answer:	The weight of one 1/2" x 5" ferro rod is approx 115g.
Question:	Is this ferrocerium all throughout the bar? I’ve seen some where the core is just steel and only a thin outer layer will make a spark
Answer:	I could be wrong but I think you might be having a problem with smooth pressure if you use a knife with a sharp spine you will have more leverage to apply the pressure I don't think any ferro rod has a solid steel bar inside they all should spark all the way through some are softer than others though and I think the softer ones have more magnesium this one is hard
Question:	they" recommend the use of a "art knife" as a striker -- what is a art knife
Answer:	Don't know what an art knife is but THE BEST thing i have found to use for a striker is a 3 inch piece of either a hack saw blade or sawzall blade, use the edge of the SMOOTH side of the blade at a slight angle (press against it hard). practice with it you'll get it,, and it will shower sparks !!!

Size Comparison

• Large size( 1/2'' thick) means plenty for your hands to hang onto. If you have large hands, we recommend the large size.
• The 3/8'' × 4'' is big enough for easier strikes and small enough to carry.

How to use

1. Scrape away the coating to expose shiny metal before first use.
2. Hold the ferro rod close to the tinder at about a 45-degree angle. Place the scraper near the top of the rod.
3. Pull the rod back (away from the tinder) with a slow and steady motion.
