Description: Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, our legendary Swedish FireSteel® is the original fire starter. Being the best, however, means always having to push the envelope. The result is a new generation with an improved striker that makes it even easier to build a fire in any weather, at any altitude. Our second generation Swedish FireSteel 2.0® also features a new design, a color matched lanyard, and a built-in emergency whistle. The Swedish FireSteel’s dependability and intense, close to 3,000°C (5400°F) sparks, have long made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen, and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a foolproof way to light stoves and gas barbecues. Features: Durable—lasts approximately 12,000 strikes. Improved stainless steel striker and ergonomic handles. Built-in emergency whistle. Produces a 3,000°C (5,400°F) spark and works when wet. Compact and lightweight. Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues, etc. Bright spark—can be used as emergency signal. Compatible with Leave No Trace ethics.
