The traditional army model of magnesium firestarter is consisted of Magnesium block with one side slot for military use, the magnesium firestarter in any shapes and sizes can be tailored on the certain order quantity, please e-mail for quote.

Magnesium Fire Starter is a solid block of magnesium with a hot sparking ferrocerium flint rod(3/16" x 3" typically) insert on one side slot of the block for incredibly easy fire starting.  Ignites to a high temperature of 4000 °F (2200 °C) and lights even when wet.  Simply use our firesteel super alloy scraper blade or striker blade to scrape off magnesium into a small magnesium pile or magnesium shavings and can be ignited by scraping the flint edge over the magnesium.

The magnesium firestarter is more than just an essential camping gear, so popular in boating, cycling, fishing, hiking, hunting, etc., outdoor activity, for example, you can combine it with your survival necklace, dog tag tool, key ring or key chain survival gear, first aid kit, emergency aid kits, etc.,

Magnesium is a highly flammable metal, but while it is easy to ignite when powdered or shaved into thin strips, it is difficult to ignite in mass or bulk. Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, being able to burn in both nitrogen (forming magnesium nitride), and carbon dioxide (forming magnesium oxide and carbon). On burning in air, magnesium produces a brilliant white light. Thus magnesium powder (flash powder) was used as a source of illumination in the early days of photography. Later, magnesium ribbon was used in electrically ignited flash bulbs. Magnesium powder is used in the manufacture of fireworks and marine flares where a brilliant white light is required. Flame temperatures of magnesium and magnesium alloys can reach 1,371 °C (2,500 °F), although flame height above the burning metal is usually less than 300 mm (12 in).[6]
