REVIEW: Light My Fire Fireknife

That the Swedish company Light my Fire does more than "just" the Spork, has been well known since the Firesteel, which can be found in (almost) every sports store. However, the young Swedes have also developed another, as always very colorful gadget in cooperation with Mora of Sweden. Namely a cocktail of knife and firesteel. The all-rounder in the low-budget knife sector? Let's see...

The "FireKnife" comes, as already mentioned, in very colorful designs, but there is also a version in black/grey. Of course, the items have an advantage: they are very difficult to lose.

What can one say? The knife is a genuine Mora up to the handle end. The sheath has the same thumb ramp for one-handed drawing and insertion, and the drainage hole, a small opening at the end of the sheath is also there. Through this, moisture that is not wiped off can escape and not accumulate in the sheath. The belt clip is also as you already know from "normal" Moras, just a simple plastic clip.

The blade is made of the highly rust-resistant Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, in the classic Scandinavian grind. Caution: as you would expect from Mora, the knife is delivered extremely sharp, hairs on the forearm will be felled like Swedish firs by Husqvarna.
The handle is rubberized and very non-slip. Here we also come to the only major weakness of the knife: it is simply a complete plastic piece and unfortunately, it shows.

But the highlight of the knife is in the rear part of the handle. A firesteel is securely anchored there and can be clicked out when needed. In terms of size, it is comparable to the "Scout" from Light my Fire, good for 3000 strikes. A short piece of cord is also attached to the handle of the steel, which can be used as a hand loop.

CONCLUSION: For the most brutal outdoor uses, the combination of firesteel and knife handle is probably too fragile. But for everything below batoning (splitting firewood with the knife) and cracking coconuts, the "Swedish FireKnife" is certainly suitable.

For the low price, you get a colorful, very light (94 grams), and easy-to-care-for knife, where the wife won't threaten divorce if you first, buy it and second, eventually lose it! :)
