This gadget was originated from Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. FireSteel is widely used and has become a favorite for hunter, fishermen, campers and survival experts.
The FireSteel could produce nearly 3,000°C spark, that makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues. Amazingly enough it also works equally well in wet condition.
A metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel, generating sparks that can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire. When the fire is becoming established, thin sticks of wood can be added, gradually increasing to thicker ones.

- Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues
