Fire-starting kit for making fire like the Romans.
Here you can buy a fire-starting kit containing a Roman fire steel, flint and instructions for use.
The curved shape of the fire steel is typical of the Roman period and has been forged from carbon steel, which is why it produces sparks very easily.
The Roman fire-starting kit contains the Roman fire steel (8 x 3 cm) as well as a large flint, whose sharp edge makes it easy to create sparks, and a user guide in German and English on how to make your own tinder.
Make a fire just like the Romans did: with a fire steel, flint and dry tinder, you can easily kindle a crackling fire with just a little practice.
As soon as you strike the sharp edge of a flint with a fire steel, small sparks are produced which quickly leap onto the tinder. To do this, hold the tinder as close as possible to the striking edge of the flint.
Once a spark has caused the tinder to smoulder, you must, whilst blowing steadily and evenly, add more tinder as quickly as possible, such as birch paper, decayed wood fibres or thin pine shavings.
