UST BlastMatch Fire Starter — One-Handed, Lightweight, for Camping & Outdoor Survival | Model 20-900-0014-001

Meet the UST BlastMatch Fire Starter, a compact, one-handed tool built for outdoor moments when speed and reliability matter. At just 4.1 inches long and 2.3 ounces, it nests easily in a pocket, pack, or glove box, ready to spark a campfire, stove, or emergency flame with minimal effort. Model 20-900-0014-001 is a one-size solution designed to travel light without sacrificing performance.
