Quick Overview

The UST Sparkie provides a reliable, one-handed ignition source for starting fires in all weather conditions. It is specifically designed for survival scenarios where an operator's hand may be injured, occupied, or compromised by cold.

Field Application Steps

Prepare a dry, fibrous tinder bundle and place it within a cleared fire lay.
With a firm grip, press the thumb tab to release and extend the spring-loaded spark bar.
Position the tool's tip on a hard surface immediately adjacent to the tinder.
Plunge the main housing downward with a single, rapid motion to direct sparks into the tinder.
Repeat strikes until the tinder ignites, then build the fire with kindling.
Retract the spark bar into the housing for safe stowage after use.
