Steel Striker

  1 of 24

  I tried two previous types of striker but they both felt bulky and clumsy whereas this one is just perfect. This one is a nice lightweight but highly efficient striker. I don't have the most slender of fingers but I can fit 3 snugly into this striker and it produces a shower of sparks every time.

  I looked at a few of these steel strikers from various suppliers before deciding on this one. Not having used one for 30 odd years I thought buying from Woodlore would guarantee I got a decent one, as some contain lower quantities of carbon and aren't heat-treated correctly. The morning it arrived, whilst walking to the shop at lunchtime, I noticed a halved flint stone that had been excavated from some road works; I picked it up and struck it with my new steel, it threw good sparks first time. I'm very pleased with this high quality product.

  Nicely crafted - works well as you'd expect (not much to go wrong)! Great service as always with Woodlore. Only very slight reservation is that I am sure this could be done a little cheaper, as feels a little much for what it is. Didn't stop me buying though! My choice!

  Excellent piece of kit; gives very good sparks. Easy to hold and invaluable to traditional methods of fire lighting.

  Arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. This is the first steel I have owned for flint and steel fire lighting. Can positively say I should never need another. When item arrived I was straight in the back garden looking for flint to use. Man and fire! What can I say? I tried four different types of flint and it worked with them all perfectly. Two strikes to ignite char cloth, (flint was not sharp having just been liberated from the garden.) After finally preparing amadou properly I had an ember glowing in that too after only three strikes. Very very happy and satisfying to use a method of fire lighting our earlier ancestors would have used. This steel is the quality I would expect from Woodlore. It is simply a pleasure to use. Do not hesitate if you are considering purchasing; just buy it. A pleasure dealing with Woodlore. Their service and product are second to none.

  I'm very happy with this striker. I threw a spark onto char cloth with the first stike. This thing gives a shower of sparks. Now I just need to perfect making charred punk wood.

  Nice looking, good feel in the hand, and good sparks off a flint. Most satisfying.

  Fits my hand very well! This is the first steel striker that I have bought! Risk of catching knuckles reduced to minimum by the shape of the striker! When struck on flint gives a spark every bit as easy as a ferro rod and knife! Impressed is an understatement! Would not hesitate to buy one! Have tried making my own and although it looked good it was awful at throwing a spark! This has made learning to light fire using flint and steel effortless!
