Aurora Magnesium Fire Starter 440C

The Aurora Fire Starter™ 440C is created and manufactured by Solo Scientific in the USA. Their goal was to design and manufacture the best all-around survival fire starter in the world, and they have absolutely done it! The Aurora Fire Starter™ is rugged, and is designed for survival. It uses a large 1/4" diameter (.635cm) composite flint steel rod that has magnesium built into it. The built-in Striking Blade could be a lifesaver! You can wear it on your key ring or around your neck on a lanyard and if you are ever separated from your pack or knife you will still have everything you need to start a fire. The built-in Striking Blade takes off enough material to start a fire but will not cause excessive wear.  The built-in Striking Blade is part of the unit and will not get caught on equipment, break off, or rattle while in combat, or hunting - like other fire starters that have a blade hanging from a string. The Aurora Fire Starter™ is designed to function wet or dry, it is machined from solid light- weight aircraft aluminum (NO PLASTIC!), is knurled for grip, and will not break when you need it most. This Fire Starter has an overall length of 3.6" (9.14cm) a diameter of .625" (1.59cm), weighs 1/10lb.(1.6 oz or 45g), It has an o-ring seal to prevent the housing from unscrewing and provide protection from corrosion in salt water environments. Include in all your survival gear and disaster kits for complete emergency preparedness.

Two models are now available, both equipped with a built-in striking blade and ferrocerium flint steel rod with magnesium within its composition - yielding sparks as hot as 5000 degrees F. Your color choice of either silver or black anodized for both models. This standard 440C model comes with our great 440C Fully Hardened Stainless Steel Striking Blade installed that can be flipped over or sharpened if dulled (Note: the new 440C striking blades will yield thousands of strikes before needing to be flipped)

The Aurora Fire Starter™ comes complete with detailed instructions and several pieces of fire starting material. Order yours today! Must be 18 years or older to order. Made in USA!


To start a fire using the Aurora Fire Starter™: 1.Place your fire starting material on the ground (plain cotton balls, dryer lint, toilet paper, birch bark, milk weed fluff, cotton wood fluff, burdock, or fine dry grass work great but any fine dry tinder usually found in the wild can be used). 2. Open your Aurora Fire Starter™. 3. Scrape the composite flint steel rod(ferrocerium w/magnesium within its composition)with the built-in 440C Striking Blade (note: for first use it may be necessary to scrape off protective coating on rod first with striking blade) while aiming the hot burning sparks at your tinder and you have FIRE!

Caution: This is not a toy! Keep the Aurora Fire Starter out of reach of children and do not use or demonstrate indoors or near any combustible material.
