A great knife for a small price

The Swedish FireKnife is the result of a collaboration between well-respected Swedish brands Moraknive and Light My Fire. 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 handy tool. 

The FireKnife has a 9.5 cm (3.75-inch) blade of hardened Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. Profile grinding makes the blade fine enough ease out splinters and the back of the knife has been ground to work perfectly with the Swedish FireSteel. TPE rubber material on the handle provides a firm grip and the Swedish FireSteel 2.0 Scout fire starter twist-locks into the rear of the handle. The Swedish FireSteel is made from a durable magnesium alloy that produces a 3,000°C (5,400°F) spark and even works when wet. 

Last approximately 3,000 strikes. 

To use, 
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, Tinder Dust, BBQ, paper, dry grass, birch bark or any other prepared tinder. 

Includes sheath with clip. Overall length 22.5 cm (8.85 inches), weight 94 g (3.3 ounces). Made in Sweden.
