• Fire steel — A small steel tool, often curved in the shape of a link or blade, used in the past, by striking it against a piece of flint (cremene), to produce sparks capable of igniting tinder or cotton.

• Fire-struck — An office, fiscal obligation, or historical tax levied in medieval Romanian Principalities linked to the right to use the fire steel, produce fire, or exploit certain steel and flint resources. As an adjective or participle, it describes an object (tinder or cotton) ignited by striking, or a mill mechanism whose central structural axle has been mounted and secured.
