Fire Steel
Creates a spark that with a small amount of practice can be used to create a flame.
Absolutely brilliant, not just because it is hugely rewarding to light a fire without the use of lighter / matches / metal objects and a microwave but also because it is very very useful. It works in all conditions; wet, dry, windy, still, snow, hail, fog whatever. Far more reliable than any lighter could ever be.
Absolutely essential bit of kit
Good for impressing your mates with in the pub when someone asks for a light.
Never go anywhere without it

My Fire Steel has now worn down so far that it is only about 2 cm long but it still works.
