The Dual Action Fire Starter is a compact fire-starting tool that combines two ignition functions in one device. A ferrocerium rod produces high-temperature sparks, while the magnesium rod can be shaved to create highly flammable tinder when natural tinder is scarce.

With an integrated stainless steel striker and a working life of up to 8,000 strikes, it is well suited for emergency kits, camping equipment and survival training. It provides a practical, fuel-free ignition method for situations where fire is needed for warmth, cooking or signalling.
