Swedish FireSteel BIO armémodell

I picked this up seeing it was originally made for military use, and the extra-thick steel really does feel built to last. It sparks first time even with damp tinder which is exactly what I needed for my camp stove. Glad I grabbed one before they went out of stock.

It’s been through rain, sleet, and a couple of genuinely clumsy drops, and it still throws a fat, reliable spark every single time. The extra-heavy body feels like it’s built for a lifetime, and it lit my spirit stove in under three tries on a damp evening.

I've used this in pouring rain and it still threw sparks on the first strike, which is exactly what I needed for my camping stove. The steel feels solid and hefty in the hand, and knowing it was made for military use gives me total confidence in it.
