This is one ofonly few low tech gadgets that I own, and very handy.

I tried it out for the first time only two days ago and it beats the old flint and charcoal cloth. There is a whole thread about making your own slow match (however still using real flint and steel to spark the end of this sow match) on the BritishBlades Forums. I love this piece of equipment and goes into my pouch made for me by Karin Shook, Partner of the famous knife maker Daniel Winkler(best known for making Tomahawks for the movie Last of the Mohicans). Now a brain tanned deer hide jacket and racoon cap.
