Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of
genius. Its 3,000C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by
a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel’s dependability has already made it a
favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into
cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues.
