Idea for swiss army knife modification

[rainydayarmadillo]

What if victorinox started putting a reusable match with some of their models instead of a toothpick or tweezers. Maybe you could fill the handle scales with a flammable liquid (would probably rust the knife though) or something to the like. afterwards you could strike it on a nail file or add a file to the small blade or something like that.

I'd rather have a small ferro rod that goes where the toothpick usually is with the ability to use the awl as a striker. I can carry tinder/firestarter elsewhere on my person.

2nd the idea of a small firestriker instead of the toothpick I never use. And find rather disgusting.

They made two with a butane lighter called the swissflame and campflame. They only made them for a few years and never released in the US. I dont know if maybe they didnt work well or just werent popular. A fero rod is a great idea for a bushcrafter type swiss army knife. I just havent figured the best place to add it yet. I think it has to be removable so you can strike it with a sharp part of the knife.
