Just Plain Cool Firestarter - the Swedish FireSteel

This firestarter is just plain cool. By scraping a metal blade across a special alloy rod sparks burning at 5,500°F can be thrown onto dry grass, leaves, or paper to kindle a campground fire. Personally, I’m probably going to use it to start the grill too - but I like that it’s actually harder than tossing a match onto some lighter fluid.

They don’t say what makes it Sweedish, but since the “Swedish” firesteel is just $15.99 it’s going to be fun to play with.
