Hand-crafted from solid titanium, these are aimed at the customer who appreciates something a little bit different.  These fire pistons are available in very limited quantities.

The beauty behind the fire piston concept, is its absolute simplicity in design and, ultimately with practice, the simplicity of its functionality. An idea that is literally centuries old, the fire piston is a marvel of compression and combustion that creates fire without flint or matches. Once one gets used to the technique, the fire piston becomes fun to use and is practical as well.
 
A fire piston is used to make fire. It works the same way a diesel engine does. Air is compressed in the tube to a point where the air gets hot enough to ignite a piece of tinder that's placed inside the rod. It is a very reliable fire starting method in that it can get wet and still work and it has no moving parts that can break or fail. The only replaceable part in these is the o-ring. 
 
Our Titanium Fire Pistons come with extra o-rings, char cloth, a piece of tinder mushroom,  a piece of fat wood, and a length of jute cord.  We only recommend using natural materials as fuel.

Titanium is lightweight and does not rust. These properties make it the ideal material for survival and camping equiptment. These products are overbuilt and will last a lifetime.
