Harness the awe-inspiring power of fire with this compact survival tool! Simply strike the fire steel stick to produce a 3,000°C (5,500°F) spark, more than 12 times the heat required to ignite paper, that works in any weather, at any altitude, and even when wet. This must-have is a favorite of hunters, fishermen, campers, survival experts, and professional soldiers and is used in the wild and backyards alike as a fool-proof way to light stoves, gas-barbecues, and campfires. The bright spark can also be employed as an emergency signal. The Firesteel mini is good for 1,500 strikes and is approved by the International Survival Instructors Association.
