A Fire in Your Pocket

The Buck Selkirk Fire Starter is a compact, rugged tool built to get a flame going when it matters. At the heart of it is a large ferrocerium rod that throws a shower of hot sparks in any weather, wet or dry, ready to light tinder, a stove or a signal fire.

More Than a Striker

The stainless steel body packs in a striker notch, a bottle opener, a straight-bit screwdriver, a 1/4 inch hex for driver bits and a line tensioner, so it earns its place on your kit as a genuine multi-tool.

Built-In Survival Whistle

The handle houses a high-pitched emergency whistle that carries far further than your voice, a simple feature that could make all the difference if you need to be found.

Pocket-Sized and Tough

Just over four inches overall and around 37 grams, it lives easily in a pocket, pack or survival tin. Age verification applies: this item is sold to over 18s only. See more tactical and survival gear.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be 18 to buy this?

Yes. Fire starters, strikers and steels are age-restricted products sold to over 18s only. Proof of age may be required and it is shipped by an age-verified courier service.

Will the ferro rod work when it is wet?

Yes. Ferrocerium throws a shower of very hot sparks even when damp, which is exactly why it is trusted for survival fire-lighting in poor weather where matches fail.

How long will the fire starter last?

The ferrocerium rod is good for thousands of strikes before it wears down, so with normal use it will last for years.

What else can it do besides light fires?

The stainless body works as a multi-tool with a striker notch, bottle opener, straight-bit screwdriver, a 1/4 inch hex for driver bits and a line tensioner, plus the built-in whistle.

Is the whistle loud enough to signal for help?

The high-pitched whistle in the handle carries far further than the human voice, making it a genuinely useful way to attract attention in an emergency.
