Abstract
A fuel source shaving device and method(s) of use is described. Embodiments of the fuel source shaving device can include, but is not limited to, a housing, a blade, and a bore passing through the housing. The fuel source shaving device can be implemented to create ribbons and/or shavings of material from a fuel source to aid in starting a fire.

A method of implementing a device for shaving a ferrocerium rod, the method comprising:
- providing the device, the device including:
- a housing;
- a substantially cylindrical bore in the housing;
- a hardened steel blade coupled to the housing, an edge of the hardened steel blade projecting into the substantially cylindrical bore;
- inserting a ferrocerium rod into the substantially cylindrical bore;
- rotating the ferrocerium rod causing the hardened steel blade to interface with the ferrocerium rod;
- creating at least one ribbon of ferrocerium;
- and
- using the at least one ribbon of ferrocerium as a fuel source to start a fire.

A method of implementing a device for shaving a magnesium rod, the method comprising:
- providing the device, the device including:
- a housing;
- a substantially cylindrical bore in the housing;
- a hardened steel blade having a serrated edge coupled to the housing, wherein the serrated edge of the hardened steel blade projects into the substantially cylindrical bore;
- inserting a magnesium rod into the substantially cylindrical bore;
- rotating the magnesium rod causing the serrated edge of the hardened steel blade to interface with the magnesium rod;
- creating fine shavings of magnesium;
- and
- using the fine shavings of magnesium as a fuel source to start a fire.

A method of implementing a device for shaving a magnesium rod, the method comprising:
- providing the device, the device including:
- a housing;
- a first substantially cylindrical bore in the housing;
- a first hardened steel blade having a serrated edge coupled to the housing, wherein the serrated edge of the hardened steel blade projects into the first substantially cylindrical bore;
- a second substantially cylindrical bore in the housing;
- a second hardened steel blade coupled to the housing, wherein an edge of the hardened steel blade projects into the second substantially cylindrical bore;
- inserting a magnesium rod into the first substantially cylindrical bore;
- rotating the magnesium rod causing the serrated edge of the hardened steel blade to interface with the magnesium rod;
- creating fine shavings of magnesium;
- inserting a ferrocerium rod into the second substantially cylindrical bore;
- rotating the ferrocerium rod causing the hardened steel blade to interface with the ferrocerium rod;
- creating at least one ribbon of ferrocerium;
- using the fine shavings of magnesium and the at least one ribbon of ferrocerium as a fuel source to start a fire.
