Product Spot Light

Swedish FireKnife®
The Light My Fire Company recently combined two of our favorite items in one convenient product.

From their web site http://www.lightmyfire.com/products/pro ... knife.aspx

“The Swedish FireKnife marries their Fire Steel with a Mora Knife. The Swedish FireKnife is collaboration between Light My Fire and Mora of Sweden.

But this is more than just an extremely sharp, flexible and sturdy all-around knife: the handle contains a fire starter. In other words, you can gut and clean a fish, split kindling and light a campfire with one single handy tool.

Swedish FireKnife has a blade of hardened Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel and a handle with a high friction rubber grip which is comfortable, easy and safe to use. Profile-grinding makes the blade fine enough to ease out splinters and the back of knife has been ground to work perfectly with the Swedish FireSteel®. The Swedish FireSteel® is durable (3000 strikes), works equally well when wet and creates a 2,980°C spark. 1) Remove paint on new fire-starter with the back of knife. 2) Pull the back edge of the knife slowly and firmly down length of fire-starter. 3) Sparks easily ignite a stove, TinderDust, BBQ, paper, dry grass, birch bark or any other prepared tinder.”

You need to shop around for price. It seems to vary between $23 and $30.
