Starting a fire with a lighter is easy. Yet, not always reliable. A lighter often doesn’t work in subzero temperatures, it can break, you can lose it, and it runs out of fuel quickly.

A firesteel - also known as a ferrocerium rod - is one of the most durable, sustainable, and versatile fire-making tools you can bring in the wilderness. When struck with a harder material (e.g. the striker which is included), it produces hot sparks that can reach temperatures up to 3300 degrees Celcius. It works in strong winds, in the rain, in both extreme hot and cold weather conditions, and it can lasts for many years.

There are many different types and dimensions of firesteels on the market. I’ve tried many brands, but unfortunately, many of them aren’t durable (they break), reliable (the compound is inadequate), or they corrode quickly.

The composition of Berqana firesteels is unique and I can guarantee you that these firesteels won’t let you down. Handmade in the Swedish wilderness. These will make sure you have warm fire.
