Product Description
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.

 Good but not Great October 9, 2008
Basically creates fire and does a good job at it. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was that the included striker eats away at the rod pretty quickly.
 Great September 5, 2008
Works well on starting stuff like dryer lint or vasoline covered cotton balls. Easy to use.

Typically, for fire starting in the wild I use a Fire Piston, however for camp stoves and/or other butane appliances, Sweedish Firesteel is hands down the best out there. You dont need to worry about matches not lighting due to moisture or high wind, you dont need to worry about lighters running out of fluid or anything like that. Just take your stick and point it toward the object you want to light and in one firm scrape, the striker will produce enough sparks for ignition.
If you (or your scout) plans to use this for camp fires, then the best tinder I have found for this item is something that anyone can make at home; CHAR CLOTH. One strike and the charcloth has enough ember-holes going to create flame upon any foundation for a campfire.
Overall: This is a great item to have on hand and it has so many uses around a camp that you'll never not need one on hand.
Perfect for what it was designed for August 15, 2008
This is a good product, it is easy to use and produces a very strong spark that will light a fire even in the hardest weather conditions. I tested it while camping in a tropical rainforest in Costa Rica, and it simply worked like a charm. Can't complain about such a single purpose object with such a good design.
