swedish fire steel

Now you need not struggle with soggy matches or lighters in the wind when you’re out camping. Whatever be the weather, you can simply get your fire started first time. The fire starter named Swedish Firesteel developed originally by Swedish Department of Defense helps producing a powerful 3,000ºC spark that lasts for 3,000 - 12,000 strikes.

The Swedish FireSteel is available in two sizes, the Scout model or the larger Army model. Each produces a shower of hot sparks (5,500 degrees) that will ignite your tinder, stove or lantern.

The handle of this fire starter is made of FSC sourced oak. Simply strike the metal part against the FireSteel and it will create a flurry of sparks which you can use to ignite grass, moss or paper. Approved by the International Survival Instructors Association, the Swedish Firesteel is simple yet utterly reliable.
