I purchased the fire kit a few weeks ago to throw in my backpack and have been really impressed. The ferro rod and striker work amazingly well, it throws sparks far better than my store-bought Coghlan’s Magnesium Fire Starter. The included wick and bellows are a great touch. once you fluff the fibers a bit it lights up easily and maintains a flame . i will supplement some of my own tinder to store in tin for later as the "tipi" is only single use

Steinbit is a fantastic tool to bring on any fishing trip. It is as beautiful as it is functional, and a true go-to when you are looking for that present to a fisherman/woman who has got everything.
Living the coastal life with the North Sea on your doorstep, we know our fishing. The Steinbit is one of the products that has become one of our classics, staying in production for over 30 years. Designed to meet the needs as a functional knife to bring on any fishing expedition, whether it is on the river, out on the fjord or all the way out on the big sea.
Wherever you are heading on your fishing trip, we will never wish you good fortune. That would mean bad luck to any fisherman in Norway.
The curly birch handle has been hand sanded to a satin finish to bring out the patterns in the wood. The blade is long and thin − sharpened and polished to a razor-sharp edge right out of the box.
