The compact Sparkie Fire Starter
from Ultimate Survival Technologies.
This is a clever one hand use self contained
flint and steel fire starter. We were
recently given the opportunity to review
these fire starters and these are the
initial photographs we took before using
them. These are just over two inches
when closed and have a solid loop for
attaching a lanyard or keyring. These
are available in either orange or tan
color with black trim.
The Ultimate Survival Technologies
Sparkie comes in a paper box
with instructions. No wasted
plastic clamshell
The Ultimate Survival Technologies
Sparkie is constructed of mostly
metal and rubber and feel very
solid in the hand
The packaging has no wasted
plastic and has a small window
to indicate the color of the
unit
The small Ultimate Survival
Technologies Sparkie easily fits
in the hand
The shape of the Sparkie is
comfortable to hold and use
A few still images from our
video review of the first time
we used the Sparkie from UST.
It is obvious how many sparks
come off of this handy fire starter

Sparkie™,
the newest fire starter from
Ultimate Survival Technologies,
features one-handed operation
in a lightweight, compact design.
Built on the premise of the original
BlastMatch™, Sparkie™
can be operated with one hand and
start your fire even in the most
adverse weather conditions.
Weighing less than one ounce, Sparkie™ is approximately one-third the weight
and less than half the volume of its big brother the BlastMatch™. It features
a reconfigured striker tab enclosure and spark bar. The compact body has a rubberized
grip wrap giving you maximum control and comfort during use.
