We believe that less is more. We believe in quality over quantity. We believe in respecting tradition, while continually challenging it. And above all, we believe that fire is an absolute non-negotiable.

Überleben is a German word meaning to survive — and/or, to live. While those words appear the same, they’re somewhat different. Fire is essential to survival. However, “survival” is not the reason we trek into the woods after work on a Wednesday afternoon, we’re doing this because we long to live. We’re chasing the experience, and we exist to share that experience with others.

A new move for a new age, the Überleben Hexå Fire Starter is our way of changing up the ignition came. Our proprietary hexagonal ferro profile has 6 flat sides which means more surface area when striking. More surface area means more control, and more control means more molten ferrocerium thrown whenever you need it. The Hexå comes in two different lengths: 3″(7.62cm) and 6″(15.24cm). Both have a 1/2″ / 12.5mm thickness and include a full-grain leather lanyard and our signature 6-function multi-tool scraper.

All Überleben products come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects.

Überleben – to survive and outlast.
