Big Firesteel!
Want the biggest firesteel on the block? The new Bunker firesteel (shown in hand) was manufactured especially for Survival Topics readers.

The Bunker is a full 1/2 inch thick and 5-inches long (12.7 x 127mm). Capable of starting tens of thousands of fires,

These huge firesteels give a shower of sparks like none other. Put The Bunker extra large firesteel in your bunker and never worry again about kindling a blaze!
The Bunker - $24.95

Nobody can say I never gave BushCraftUK a hand - that's my hand in the picture!

I can vouch for the effectiveness of these Firesteels, they are what I use and depend upon for making fires.

I've bought a few from ebay and they are very poor sparkers, not worth the money even if you only pay a fiver for them, but I do fancy one of those big guys..

"The Bunker is a full 1/2 inch thick and 5-inches long" Serious question: Can I machine it without causing sparks? I am thinking of making a LED torch out of one.
