Fire Fly Ultralight Fire Starter – 1.75 oz Ferro/Mag Combo
Fire-Fast Firefly – Feather-Light Spark for the Gram-Counting Crowd
Under 2 oz and built for serious ultralight adventurers.
The Firefly Fire Starter is engineered for high routes, alpine starts, and any trip where every ounce gets weighed twice. At just 1.75 oz total, it 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
- 6mm x 2½" Euro ferro rod — narrow, precise, demands a firm scrape (grown-up tool, not kid-friendly)
- Triple-sized magnesium bar (½" x 3½") — shave a quarter-sized pile, light it, watch 4,000°F ignite your tinder
- Hardened steel striker — included, sharp-edged, good for thousands of strikes
- Hardwood handle — compact, glove-friendly grip
2023 Upgrades
- Magnesium tripled vs. previous edition
- Ferro rod is ½" longer and slightly wider
- ¼" of ferro rod buried in handle for added strength
- Overall length increased from 5" to 5¼"
- All improvements — weight only increased by ¼ oz
- Total weight: 1.75 oz
