Each fire steel can last for up to 100 fires and each tinder should help you start 2 fires.Where to buy: You can get a pack at Knife Country USAPrice: $31.99

2. If you prefer to store your fire steel in the toothpick slot of your Swiss Army Knife, then check out the Tortoise Gear Firefly fire starter.
