The traditional army model of Magnesium block with one side slot for military in any shapes and sizes (typically 1/4" x 1" x 3", weight=3 oz ) can be tailored on the certain order quantity, please e-mail for quote.

Magnesium Fire Starter is a solid block of magnesium (latest magnesium bar or magnesium rod) with a full length ferrocerium flint (3/16" x 3" typically) sparking insert on one side slot of the block for incredibly easy fire starting.  Ignites to a high temperature of 4000 °F (2200 °C) and lights even when wet.  Simply use our firesteel super alloy scraper blade or striker blade to scrape off magnesium into a small magnesium pile or magnesium shavings and can be ignited by scraping the flint edge over the magnesium.

Our new magnesium firestarter is more than just an essential camping gear, so popular in boating, cycling, fishing, hiking, hunting, etc., outdoor activity.

" We want to sell them along with ferrocerium flint rod, so the user can scrape off some shavings from the small bars of pure magnesium and start a fire by lighting these shavings with the hot sparks from ferrocerium flint rod. Magnesium bar will have a 5 mm hole drilled near one corner so it can be carried on a key chain." many buyers told us to encourage us to build the new production line to manufacture pure magnesium rods......

Magnesium is a fairly strong, silvery-white, light-weight metal (two thirds the density of aluminium). It tarnishes slightly when exposed to air, although unlike the alkaline metals, storage in an oxygen-free environment is unnecessary because magnesium is protected by a thin layer of oxide which is fairly impermeable and hard to remove.

Incendiary use: Magnesium is flammable, burning at a temperature of approximately 2500 K (2200 °C, 4000 °F), and the autoignition temperature of magnesium is approximately 744 K (473 °C, 883 °F) in air. The extremely high temperature at which magnesium burns makes it a handy tool for starting emergency fires during outdoor recreation. Other related uses include flashlight photography, flares, pyrotechnics, fireworks sparklers, and incendiary bombs.

Magnesium is a highly flammable metal, but while it is easy to ignite when powdered or shaved into thin strips, it is difficult to ignite in mass or bulk. Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, being able to burn in both nitrogen (forming magnesium nitride), and carbon dioxide (forming magnesium oxide and carbon). On burning in air, magnesium produces a brilliant white light. Thus magnesium powder (flash powder) was used as a source of illumination in the early days of photography. Later, magnesium ribbon was used in electrically ignited flash bulbs. Magnesium powder is used in the manufacture of fireworks and marine flares where a brilliant white light is required. Flame temperatures of magnesium and magnesium alloys can reach 1,371 °C (2,500 °F), although flame height above the burning metal is usually less than 300 mm (12 in).[6]
