Holding the small handle between finger and thumb, place the end of the Steel-of-Fire into or next to the inflammable material. Use the rear side of the special attached blade, or the back edge of a knife, and slowly, whilst applying downwards pressure, slide it over the steel to produce hot sparks. Aim the sparks down into the inflammable material.
