Magnesium Bar

The Firesteel.com magnesium is about 25% softer than other brands I've tried, but the major difference is the larger flakes that were produced by a drill bit. I processed a magnesium bar with a drill. I drilled 2 deep holes[not all the way through] & it produced enough tinder for 10 dry fires or 5 hardy fires in the rain.

Works exactly as advertised. Easy ignition, hot flame. It starts almost anything on fire. I let several of my pioneering skills students use it and they will be ordering their own.

...it burned like crazy. Seems like a great product and cant wait to become an expert at using it. Thanks

Most of the magnesium bars out there are extremely hard and not easily shaved. This product is very easy to shave. High quality!

I can vouch for this magnesium... a small spark from a firesteel easily ignites a pile of magnesium shavings, resulting in a brilliant white flame... rest assured that this is a genuine, high quality product.

Very easy to shave off. I've bought every single brand, from almost all box stores. This product is better then the everything I've used. I liked it so much, I bought 5 of them.

The lanyard hole is perfect--just tie it on with your FireSteel and you've got the best tools to start a fire under the most adverse conditions. Shaves easily, burns HOT like it's supposed to. Much thicker than others I've seen on the market.

This is by far the easiest-to-shave magnesium bar that I have ever used. Burns well, clearly pure magnesium, not a cheap knock-off, even though it cost less than the competitor's product sold at local sporting goods and big-box stores.

As a Backpacker and wilderness adventure seeker climbing 12,000 to 14,000 High Sierra Mountains, I know the value of having a tinder source that is 100% immune to water. Nothing beats Magnesium tinder starter for sheer fool proof wet weather fire starter. Only Magnesium can get wet tinder to a combustion point in many situations for fire. We never travel into the wilderness without our firesteel.com Magnesium tinder starter, fero rods, and a few thick slabs of fat wood. Everone that travels with us must have these items with them and demonstrate they can produce a sustaining fire before we lead them on any adventure. FIRE IS LIFE in the wilderness and no fire can be a slow painful death. Yes, we take the art of fire very seriously because we are seasoned survivalist that venture into brutally cold areas in which fire is a mandatory tool in order to get out alive.
