Better scale is not to be found.

As the title suggests, it is not possible to find a better tinder to ignite a fire. I manage it usually after 1-2 attempts, the fine chips that I've scraped with a knife, to ignite using a fire steel. The chips burn hot and long enough to ignite even thicker kindling. Unlike paper or dry grass of the advantage is clear here in the longevity of the flames.

The unique feature of the sticks is that they inflame itself, due to the high proportion of resin and wet using the Zündstahls. This is especially handy for water crossings or heavy rain and works without problems. If dry kindling is not found, you can cut a few thicker chips, giving it a small fire that burns long and hot enough to dry wet and kindling and ignite.

This product is available to read as in other reviews already machined ready to buy, but it is not recommended, because the chip can cost more than the sticks and has considerably less content. I've been about 30 fires ignited with the sticks and not even one of the twelve, who are in the pack, depleted.

A little tip for use: the knife blade (or similar) at a 90 ° angle with light pressure pull on the stick. In this case, depending on the quality of the knife, although the sharpness suffer something for the resulting chips are so fine (remember excelsior) that it can inflame the Ignition even untrained users easily.

- Burn extremely hot and long
- Burn even when wet!
- Can be even by inexperienced hands (tested at several children aged 8 to 11;)) easily ignite with Ignition.
- Fit in your pocket
- A holding stick with economical use quite a long time
