FireAnt adds fire steel and tinder to Swiss Army knife corkscrew

• https://newatlas.com by CC Weiss

In 2017, it launched the Firefly, a simple fire steel fit to the toothpick slot of many a Swiss Army multi-tool. Now it's back to help you get more out of another marginally useful Swiss Army classic: the corkscrew. The spiraled Tortoise FireAnt twists onto the cork borer like a screw and brings two essential elements of fire-making to your pocket.

As cool and classic as Swiss Army knives are, they do bring some filler to the table. Tortoise Gear reasons that many Swiss Army knife owners will place the corkscrew in that exact category. Sure, every once in a blue moon, you might rise to hero status when you flip open the corkscrew during a camping trip or picnic in which the group brought plenty of wine but forgot an opener, but the tool is not going to save your skin when you're lost in the wilderness and it's never going to be your number 1 go-to for popping wine back in civilization.
