The Coleman Magnesium Firestarter is a handy and reliable way to light your campfire. It is a must-have for survival, emergencies, or camping. Completely waterproof and fireproof in its solid form, magnesium is the perfect choice for versatile and effective fire starting. Use with the attached blade; one side makes shavings and the other ignites them.

• First, create a small pile of magnesium shavings by scraping the knife at a 90 degree angle
• Next, gather tinder (leaves, twigs, paper) in a pile next to the shavings; and
• Finally, scrape the length of the striker block using the back of the knife blade (creating sparks that will ignite the shavings).
