Very handy item to have with you.Good use of tins.
Here's mine.Center has a magnifying glass.I was given this brass flint and steel container from ah Ogalala in South Dakota.
Back up containers also.
I always took these with me to rendezvous in years past.

Both kits look very nice and usable. I make mine using an American made file. I break the file at around 3" so it fits in the altoid box and grind the two edges flat removing the file marks. I also cook my striker rock to make it harder and it throws a real nice spark when doing that.

Using a file like I do not only allows me to start a fire but put an edge back on the knife if need be.
