To Raptor: Thank you very much for your offer to buy it for me and send it to me. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to by my goods in a real shop (not online). Although, I might have to reconsider because not all things can be found locally, especially the "survival stuff".
To SBRaider: thanks for the info.

Thanks for the ideas on one handed use of firesteel.
I should go practising one handed firestarting (once I start masering it with both hands). Firestarting by an experienced outdoorsman looks deceptively simple.
