维京时代，锻铁打火石，由一块宽而略微锥形的击打板与一条长环形手柄铸成。上部弯曲成一个风格化的动物头，仿佛是法夫尼尔龙或巨蛇。曲线附近的圆形铆钉像眼睛，强化了其动物般的外观。

-> Some strikers were given looped or zoomorphic forms, transforming a practical tool into a decorative personal possession. Dragons and serpents were prominent in Norse art and mythology, where they could evoke power, protection and dangerous supernatural forces

有些击打石被设计成环形或具动物形态，把实用工具转变为具有装饰性的个人物品。在北欧艺术与神话中，龙和蛇占据重要地位，它们可以唤起力量、保护以及危险的超自然力量。

-> Using flint and iron is a primitive fire-making technique, tracing its origins to the Iron Age when iron became an accessible material. Dry and easily combustible material (tinder) was set on fire by using the sparks created by striking a piece of flint on the iron.
This very efficient technique was widely employed for many centuries. The invention of matches rendered the flint and steel method obsolete.

-> 使用燧石与铁是一种原始的生火技术，可追溯到铁器时代，当时铁成为可得材料。干燥且易燃的材料（引火物）是通过用燧石击打铁产生的火花点燃的。
这项非常高效的技术在数个世纪广泛应用。火柴的发明使燧石与钢的方法逐渐淘汰。
