FAQs
How do I use the fire steel?
Hold the fire steel at an angle and strike it firmly and quickly against the tinder to create sparks.
How long will the tinder last?
The tinder pieces are designed for single use. The set includes multiple pieces.
Can I use the FireAnt Set with any Victorinox knife?
The FireAnt Set is compatible with most Victorinox knives that have a corkscrew.
What kind of tinder works best?
The included helix tinders are designed to work perfectly. Additional dry natural tinder like dry leaves, birch bark, or cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly can also work well.

Is the FireAnt Set waterproof?
The tinder is waterproof, but it is best to keep the entire set dry for optimal performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Fire steel is not producing sparks.
Ensure the fire steel is clean and dry. Strike the fire steel firmly and quickly against the tinder. Replace the fire steel if it is worn out.
Tinder is not igniting.
Make sure the tinder is dry and fluffed up. Create a larger pile of tinder and ensure the sparks are landing on the tinder. Use a different tinder material if available.

Ensure the fire steel is aligned correctly and that it is designed for your specific Victorinox model. Clean the corkscrew if any debris is obstructing the fit.
