While you can use just about any tough, angular object as a scraper to make FireSteel.com FireSteels spark, different objects work better than others.  We've sparked our FireSteels with an ordinary shard of glass, but tough metals give much better results.

Many people use a knife blade as a scraper.  This works well for sparking FireSteel.com FireSteels, however with extended use the high temperature 5500 degree FireSteel sparks can effect the temper of your blade.

We recommend our FireSteel Scrapers - they are very tough (we've never worn one out!), small, lightweight, and will give great gobs of white hot sparks.

Optimize your FireSteel sparks with genuine FireSteel.com FireSteel scrapers!
