Mountain Man FireSteel
Sold Out
FireSteel has been used for centuries as a sure way to start fires. These FireSteels are custom made by hand in the Green Mountains of Vermont by a North Woods master blacksmith.
The flint that is shipped with these FireSteels is a beautiful grade of Jasper that I personally prospect for in The Great Northwoods of Northern New Hampshire. This jasper is the same used by Paleo Indians some eight to ten thousand years ago for making arrowheads, spear points, and other sharp tools.
If you like starting fires using traditional FireSteel, or want to learn how, the Mountain Man FireSteel and Flint make an excellent addition to your gear.
Each Mountain Man FireSteel is unique. Approximate size: 3 inches long x 1-1/2 inches wide x 1/8 inch thick.

I didn't know that ferrocerium rods have been known as "fire steels" since the 1800's. Thank you Ron for removing my ignorance on this matter. The books and articles you showed me where this is discussed with the inventor of ferrocerium fire making products - a certain Baron -whats-his-face in Germany in the 1880's are very interesting!
Note From Ron: You're welcome - if you would like more literature and information on this subject, let me know - I've archived thousands of pages from everything from antique books, articles, and advertisements to modern tomes. FireSteels of both types have been known as such all along - which makes perfect sense if you think about it, both functioning along the same lines, people would naturally associate them together - and always have!

when will you get them in?

All of your products have been known as firesteels for over a hundred years, even these made of iron and steel. Thank you for showing me the book printed in the 1800's where this was discussed in detail.
