Medium Fire Striker | Njord – Fire Starter for Bushcraft

This fire striker is a traditionally forged fire starter based on medieval techniques. With this traditional method, you create sparks by striking the carbon steel against the included flint. The resulting sparks are sufficient to ignite dry tinder such as wood shavings, dry grass, or birch bark.

Technical specifications

The Njord fire striker is made from carbon steel and comes complete with a leather carrying pouch and flint. The design is based on historical finds from the Viking Age, with the shape and material optimised for producing sparks. Its compact size makes it easy to carry this fire starter in your backpack or bushcraft kit.

Use during bushcraft

To make fire, place dry tinder near the fire striker. With a firm strike against the flint, a shower of sparks is produced to ignite your tinder. This method works in all weather conditions, as long as your tinder is dry. It takes some practice to master the correct striking technique, but once you do, you have a reliable fire maker without batteries or fuel.

Who is this fire starter suitable for?

The Njord fire striker is ideal for bushcrafters and history enthusiasts who enjoy working with traditional techniques. It is also a valuable addition for preppers who do not want to rely on modern tools. It requires more skill than a ferro rod, but offers the satisfaction of making fire as our ancestors did.
