I dunno, I actually e-mailed Victorinox and suggested they should sell a Ferrocerium rod that would replace the metal toothpick (which IMO is useless). They wrote back and said that this had been suggested by others in the past but they did not believe there was sufficient demand for it to be cost-effective. (Of course, you can bet your boots that if someone else did it and it *did* prove to be a popular item, they'd bring out their own version in a heartbeat. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> )
