Ferrocerium is a man-made metallic alloy consisting of several different metals. Ferrocerium will produce sparks with a temperature of 3,000 degrees when scraped against a rough surface, such as the back of a bushcraft black knife – or any other stainless steel or carbon steel knife.
Prepare the tinder you have chosen.
The new flint need to scrape several times in order to remove its surface black oxide layers in the first time.
Hold a striker (or knife spine) against the top of the flint rod at a 45° angle. Scrape the striker down with rapid even movements. Allow sparks to fall onto tinder.
It will take practice to get a spark but once you get a spark this works great.
