Swedish FireSteel

Swedish-FireSteel.jpg Swedish FireSteel was originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense. You slowly move a metal blade across the Firesteel, creating nearly 3,000°C (5,500°F) sparks that can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves, or paper to start a fire.

If you like to go camping and want to start campfires quickly, or even if you just need help lighting the barbecue, this FireSteel will last for approximately 12,000 strikes and works just as well in the rain and snow as it does when it’s a sunny day.

We think geeks will appreciate the power of being able to start a fire with such a simple tool.”
