black iron oxide with titanium shavings to hold some embers. Otherwise the reaction is too fast and not the best for fire starting.

Amonium nitrate, amonium chloride and zinc dust. However it can become unstable and if left in my knife and could partially ruin it. In the rainy pacific northwest I want high temps to use in fire starting. The wood may not be 100% dry.

I made this mixture to be held in the pommel of my survival knife I built. In western WA it rains a lot and starting a fire in the mountains is a bit tougher then in the dry desert. If it's considered cheating then I will cheat to avoid dying of hypothermia. :)

It also has titanium cuttings to extend the ember time. The mixture was made for fire starting with a flint. Just magnesium and iron oxide burns up too fast so the molten titanium gives more time to ignite tinder.

Sounds like a great idea!

It can be flint ignited just like magnesium shavings but the iron oxide allows it to burn much hotter.
