A fire striker (AKA Fire Steel) is a mis-named piece of knife-hard steel from which sparks are struck by the sharp edge of chert or similar rock. (To create confusion, ferrocerium rods, described below, are also called "fire steels.")
Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“The LORD went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 13:21,22.
