Braided fire staff: Szyszko

Staff sold individually, equipped with Kevlar wicks.

Braided fire staff (13mm rope):

This staff is a model that spins and rolls smoothly compared to a normal staff. It can also be used for a dynamic practice. It is a rather versatile staff. Its particularity compared to more affordable staffs is to be equipped with Kevlar cord wicks braided around the staff. There is no less than 6.3 meters of 13mm Kevlar rope on this staff.

This quantity of Kevlar and this type of braiding make it possible to store large quantities of fuel, consequently, it allows to obtain a more imposing flame which lasts longer than an assembly with a conventional wick.

Szysko's heart is an exceptional weave of 6.3 m of 13 mm rope.

The metallic elements have been hidden to increase safety when using the staff. This special braiding allows oxygen to access a large area of the wick, which affects the size of the flame. The flame is huge, visible from afar and felt up close.

What kind of use?

The Szyszko fire staff is aimed at an adult professional public looking for a versatile staff that can be used for dancing with slow and fluid movements while giving good performance on fast movements. This model is not intended for specialized use like some of the other staff models that we present. We insist on a use reserved for professionals, this model is one of our staffs that gives the most significant flames.

If you are looking for a lighter staff, we have a similar model with a 10mm wick braiding. It has a slightly shorter ignition time. This is the Boryna staff.

Tips for using your fire staff:

Here are some guidelines to increase the lifespan of your staff. Professionals are used to this kind of instructions, but we never repeat them enough ...

When you soak your wicks, soak them 3/4, this will give the Kevlar time to absorb all the fuel and prevent it from leaking and running on the grip of your staff. It is important to know that the grip of the staff is resistant to heat but not to flames. So, be careful not to let fuel run on the grip, this could encourage flames to spread over the grip and cause your grip to deform or wear prematurely.

• Never use fuel such as White Spirit, Benzene or other alcohol-based fuel, prefer the use of flavorless oil which produces a very yellow so-called "cold" flame. If you have a blue or transparent flame it means you are using the wrong fuel, so don't push it and check your fuel.
• Do not hold the staff in a static vertical position, always keep it in motion or in a horizontal position so that the flames do not damage the structure or the elements of your staff such as its grip for example.
• Handle the grip with delicacy to ensure a good lifespan.
• Do not soak the staff in the fuel.
