Swedish FireSteel

Well I am a big fan of Bear Grylls and other presenters of survival programs, however seeing them light a fire with nothing but what’s available in the environment seems too much like hard work to me. Let me introduce to you the Swedish Firesteel, the ultimate survival tool. Obviously developed my some Swedish person or Organizations the fire steel is an ingenius gadget.

To light a fire, a metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel which generates the sparks necessary to ignite some dry grass or paper. Developing a spark at nearly 3,000°C the Swedish Firesteel makes lighting a fire in pretty much any condition pretty straight forward.

Features

- Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues
- Uses a magnesium alloy that consists of 7 metals
- Lasts for approximately 12,000 strikes
- Produces a spark temperature close to 3,000°C (5,500°F)
- Bright spark – can be used as emergency signal
- Functions in rain and snow
- Dimensions: main component is approx. 3.75″ long
- Weight: approx. 1.9 ounces

The Swedish Fire Steel retails at between $3.99 and $15.99 and is available from Thinkgeek.
