The compact attachment for a manual bow drill, the Condor Bow Drill Socket, developed and field-used by Matt Graham, enables reliable fire starting using a traditional method. Thanks to the durable combination of walnut wood and steel, low weight, and a paracord lanyard, it is easy to carry and ideal for bushcraft, survival, and camping.
The Condor Bow Drill Socket is a practical aid for the classic friction-fire technique. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip and smooth spindle action, while the steel seat reduces friction and increases efficiency. Thanks to its compact dimensions, you can easily attach it to a backpack or hang it using the included paracord.
Why choose this attachment:
- Traditional fire-starting method – a reliable solution without matches or a lighter.
- Robust materials – walnut wood body, steel bearing for smooth operation.
- Lightweight and packable – suitable for bushcraft, survival, camping, and emergency kits.
- Paracord lanyard – easy to carry, multi-purpose use in the field.
Tip: Pair with a spindle and hearth board made from softer wood for faster ember creation. Regularly keep the contact surface clean for maximum efficiency.
