Fire Fly

The Firefly Fire Starter Feather-light spark for the gram-counting crowd.

• Under-the-2-oz obsession: 1.75 oz total—slips into a pocket, harness, or pack strap without a second thought. Serious mountaineers and thru-hikers draw the line at 2 oz; Firefly sneaks under it.
• Four no-nonsense parts:
1. 6mm x 2½" Euro ferro rod—narrow, precise, demands a firm scrape (grown-up tool, not kid-friendly).
2. Triple-sized magnesium bar (over 2022 edition) (½" x 3½") - shave a quarter sized pile, light it, watch 4,000°F ignite your tinder.
3. Hardened steel striker— included, sharp-edged, good for thousands of strikes (one owner logged 2,200).
4. Hardwood handle—compact, glove-friendly grip.

Real-world fit: Built for high routes, alpine starts, or any trip where every ounce gets weighed twice. (New to fire steel or packing with kids? Step up to our neck-worn Kamper Lanyard or Trekker, easier, foolproof, still hand-made by us.)

THIS FIRE STARTER IS DESIGNED FOR THE ULTRA BACKPACKER.

We have made some significant changes to the Firefly:

1, The magnesium has been tripled.

2. The Ferro Rod is 1/2 an inch longer and slightly wider.

3. 1/4 inch of the Ferro Rod is buried in the handle. For added strength.

4. The overall length has gone from 5 inches to 5 1/4 inches long.

5. All these improvements and the overall weight only increased by a 1/4 ounce.

6. Total weight: 1.75 ounces.
