The Tibetan "lighter", also known as a fire knife, is a tool for creating fire developed by man on the basis of techniques of drawing fire from a piece of firewood and stone. This seemingly simple tool is actually very practical, and its remarkable advantage is that it is easy to carry, and can even be used on rainy days.
In the long history of humans, they used different ways to generate fire, such as wood, the Tibetan "lighter", matches, and the current lighter. 
For a long time, the Tibetan "lighter" has been an indispensable tool in everyday life. Nowadays, it is in fact reduced to an object that reminds us of history. But through him, we can see human wisdom and the development of human history.
