What a cracking piece of kit!! The Aurora Firesteel is made in the USA and is self contained within a billet of turned aluminium giving it the ultimate protection against breakages and the possibility of corrosion.

These Steels work extremely well as they have their own built in striker in the base, so you simply unscrew it from it's housing and draw the "striker" against the rod giving a massive shower of red hot sparks.

Created and manufactured by Solo Scientific in the USA to be used to start your campfires. The goal was to design and manufacture the best all-around survival fire starter in the world. These New Models are AEROSPACE QUALITY & the Aurora Fire Starter™ is a true survival tool and will work in any environment that will support life!

The Aurora Fire Starter has even climbed Mount Everest! Always be prepared! The Aurora Fire Starter™ will start a lifetime of campfires for most users. Two models are now available both equipped with a built-in striking blade and ferrocerium flint steel rod with magnesium within its composition - yielding sparks as hot as 5000 degrees F.

Your color choice of either silver or black anodized for both models. This 440C model comes with a great 440C Fully Hardened Stainless Steel Striking Blade installed that can be flipped over or sharpened if dulled.

There is also a great belt pouch available so you will always know where it is. (belt not included)

These are a great piece of kit and if you don't believe me simply watch the YouTube video to see that they work REALLY well.
