UST MagBar Magnesium Fire Starter
Reliable magnesium fire starter with integrated flint striker. Serrated edge shaves magnesium, opposite edge creates sparks. Compact 3.1-inch design weighs just 1.8 oz. Proven to start hundreds of fires.
The Magnesium Fire Starter That Works When It Counts
The UST MagBar represents a time-tested approach to emergency fire-starting. This compact tool combines two proven elements: magnesium shavings and a flint striker, giving you a reliable method to ignite a fire in virtually any condition.
How It Works
The design is elegantly simple. One edge features a serrated surface for shaving magnesium into a small pile. The opposite edge houses a flint bar that, when struck sharply, produces hot sparks capable of igniting the magnesium shavings. This two-step process has proven effective in field conditions for decades.

Why Magnesium?
Magnesium burns at extremely high temperatures, making it ideal for igniting tinder in emergency situations. Unlike matches or lighters, magnesium fire starters function reliably in rain, snow, and high altitude where oxygen is thin.
