Magnesium Fire Starting Tool  -  $6.95  
This handy tool consists of a small (3/8" X 1" X 3") block of solid magnesium,
with a full length of Ferrocerium Rod set into one of the edges. Because
magnesium is relatively soft, the block can be scraped with a knife to form a
small pile of shavings. Then, when you striking the edge of the sparking insert
it ignite the shavings, the magnesium flares up at a temperature of 5400°F.  It
provides that positive flame to light your tinder when you need more than just  
sparks.  A short piece of hacksaw blade works best for shaving the magnesium
and for throwing huge amounts of sparks.
