Speaking of things exploding, ThinkGeek has gone all analogue with this ToolLogic Firesteel Knife. Just what any self-respecting geek needs when they’re far from the familiar glow of their screens. The 3″ knife blade has an easy one-handed opening action, there’s a whistle, a hole for a lanyard and a water tight cavity.
The fire starter bit makes a bevy of beautiful sparks perfect for long exposure photographs and making fires. Just be sure to pack some wood shavings, or put the knife to work and get whittling. US$29.99
The ToolLogic Firesteel Knife features a razor sharp blade and emergency signal whistle plus a premium magnesium alloy fire starter. The Swedish made Firesteel combined with a special notch on the blade delivers an intense shower of sparks at nearly 3000�. It will even spark when wet!

Amazon has a slightly more advanced model (it cost a bit more, however) from the same company that adds a nice LED light to the package: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00…
