Kershaw 1019X Fire Starter Red Magnesium Striker 3.1 Inch

The Kershaw 1019X Fire Starter delivers reliable ignition in any weather condition with its magnesium fire steel construction and integrated striker. This compact survival tool produces sparks reaching 3,000°F, making fire starting possible even in wet conditions where matches and lighters fail.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard ferro rods that wear down quickly, the Kershaw 1019X features a magnesium alloy fire steel that provides thousands of strikes while maintaining consistent spark production. The integrated striker eliminates the need to carry separate tools, and the weather-resistant design functions reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 150°F. The bright red handle ensures visibility in emergency situations and prevents loss in outdoor gear.

Key Features

• Magnesium alloy fire steel produces 3,000°F sparks for reliable ignition

Field testing shows the 1019X ignites tinder consistently across various materials including birch bark, char cloth, and commercial fire starters. The magnesium shavings burn at extremely high temperatures, making fire starting possible with damp kindling that would challenge other methods. Emergency responders and outdoor professionals rely on this tool for backup ignition when primary methods fail.
