The outer casing is enriched with wax or resin to improve flammability of the produced tinder. The pencil may include a ferrule to attach one or more of an eraser, a striker, a ferrocerium nub, and a pocket clip. A clear coat may be applied to prevent the wax or resin from leaching out of the tinder pencil.
