The Swedish FireSteel ARMY Fire Starter originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, is a flash of genius. Its 3,000°C spark makes startng easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteels dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues.

I order stuff from Amazon all the time so it will be cheaper for me there. Free shipping if you order over $25. Also poking around the 'net the Swedish one appears to be higher qualilty.
I finally got a fire to light with one of these today. Of course, I used cotton balls for tinder. And it took many tries. By the time I learn how to use the thing it will be used up!
