Superb.
Lots of flints, that's good. Now I'll just put them all over the place visible no matter where I am. Every time I required one, can't find one. Do they work? I guess so, a flint is a flint -- never saw a bad one.
FAQs
What is the difference between flint and chert?
While often used interchangeably in fire-starting contexts, flint is technically a high-quality variety of chert. Both are hard, sedimentary rocks that break with a conchoidal fracture, creating the sharp edges necessary to shave microscopic hot particles off a steel striker to create sparks.
How many stones are included in the package?
Each package contains approximately 5 to 8 pieces of hand-selected stone, with a total combined weight of one half pound (8 ounces). Individual stones generally weigh between 1 and 1.5 ounces.
Can I use these stones with any metal?
To produce sparks, these stones must be used with high-carbon steel strikers. Most modern stainless steel tools are too soft and will not produce the necessary sparks for fire making.
Are these authentic Coopers Bay stones available in India?
Yes, Dropy India sources these natural Texas chert stones directly from Coopers Bay Outdoors in the USA. We ensure that you receive the authentic American-sourced product, delivered straight to your door in India.
Do the stones come pre-sharpened?
The stones are rough-knapped, meaning they are broken into useful sizes with sharp natural edges. Over time, you can re-knap the edges yourself to maintain their spark-producing capabilities.
