How it's used
This term is specifically used for the modern ferrocerium rods used by outdoor enthusiasts rather than historical flint stones. It is almost exclusively associated with camping, bushcraft, or emergency survival kits. You will rarely hear it in any context outside of these specific outdoor activities.

Do not confuse this with a lighter, which is called 打火機. Using 打火石 to refer to a standard cigarette lighter will cause confusion as it implies a primitive sparking tool.
