Buddhist Altar Shop Takita Shoten Easy-to-Use Flint Sickle, 7.5cm Long x 4cm Wide, Ideal for Starting Fires, Flint Sickle, Certificate Included

Dimensions: Length 7.5cm x Width 4cm / Material: Steel with wooden board / Country of Origin: Made in Japan The Easy-to-Use Flint Sickle was developed to produce a clear fire with just a light strike. Even women and elderly people can easily make a clear fire. Sparks are struck with a flint, and this is an ancient Japanese custom of warding off evil spirits. Evil hates fire, so a clear fire eliminates impurity and exorcises evil spirits. It is used to ward off evil spirits, purify, and grant wishes, as well as to pray for safety and peace when out and about. To make a clear fire, hold the flint in your dominant hand and the flint sickle in the other hand, keeping it as horizontal as possible. Without moving the flint sickle too much, strike the corner of the stone in your dominant hand forcefully forward, as if scraping off the edge of the flint sickle, and several sparks will fly. Comes with a certificate issued by Takita Shoten, which is proof of Takita Shoten's brand quality.
