A Dependable, Life-Saving Tool No Outdoorsman Should Be Without!

It's size makes the The Doan Magnesium Fire Starting Tool® convenient for pocket or tackle box.

Adopted by the U.S. Armed forces for their survival kits.

Count on it to work, wet or dry, even with damp kindling.

And all you need to make it work is a knife!

By scraping the "shaving edges" with the blade, you will accumulate a pile of magnesium shavings.

Simply scrape the "sparking insert" to ignite the shavings to temperatures of 5400°F, hot enough to light even the most stubborn campfire!
