Welcome to Our Scandinavian World
We keep alive Scandinavian craft traditions with our innovative products that beautify your home and simplify fire-making.
Stikkan® - the Original Since 1982
Cast iron kindling device that makes perfect kindling every time. A Norwegian innovation manufactured in Sweden. Robust and durable. Also works as a wood splitter for softer wood. The perfect gift for the man - or woman - who has everything.
Flamman® - The Ultimate Fire Side Tool
A combined blowpipe, fire-poker and ash rake that replaces the entire fireplace tool set. The only fire side tool you will ever need. Scientifically designed according to aerodynamic principles. Stirs and breathes new life into the fire while raking the ashes after it has burned out. Innovative and stylish.
Iron
With us, Swedish traditions in casting and blacksmithing live on, becoming innovative and high-quality products of cast iron and steel.
Cast Iron
Stikkan is made of solid cast iron, specifically ductile iron, which is structurally stronger than other types of cast iron. Stikkan is then electroplated to resist corrosion (rust). The final result is a sturdy product capable of hard work, withstanding both the test of time and the forces of nature.
Casting
Mining and casting are ancient Swedish traditions. Many important innovations in steel - such as the adjustable wrench and ball bearing - were made in Sweden. To this day, we extract our own iron ore, and our metal industry remains present in our society. Stikkan and Flamman are part of this tradition and a result of ongoing innovation.
Steel
Flamman consists of several precision-engineered steel components. The steel construction is then coated with a fireproof and temperature-resistant paint. The result is a precision instrument that can withstand the fire.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing was initially a completely manual process that required great strength and precision. Modern forging is usually a mechanical and automated process on a large scale. Stikkan and Flamman, though, are still assembled by hand, and each product is inspected by us before it is packaged.
Fire
Fire has a central place in human history, and many believe that the ability to make fire enabled humanity’s continued development to where we are today. Even now, we gather around the fire to socialize.
Walpurgis Bonfire
In Sweden, we light a bonfire on Walpurgis Night to celebrate the arrival of the warmer seasons - and to ward off evil spirits from the fields so we dare to release the livestock ;-)
Cast Iron Stove
During the cold seasons, fire-making is a natural and essential part of daily life for cooking, heating, and water supply. Therefore, it’s no wonder that we highly value our fire tools in these latitudes.
Sauna Stove
A Nordic home can have many different fireplaces: a wood stove in the kitchen, an open fireplace in the living room, a cast iron stove in the home office, a sauna stove in the sauna, and a wood-fired oven at the outdoor grill area.
Tiled Stove
Then, of course, there’s our Nordic specialty - the tiled stove - which is not only a historical remnant in old city apartments but also manufactured in modern versions and installed in newly built homes.

Choosing Wood Type to Burn
In our part of the world, we burn both softwoodand hardwoods. What kind of firewood one chooses to burn, and in what order, can have a great influence on th result.
Choosing Log to make Kindling
Stikkan can, in principle, split and splinter any type of wood and any piece of firewood. The best kindlings, however are made from log of the right size, driness and quality.
How to make Kindling
Stikkan is a powerful and safe tool for efficiently making large amounts of kindling of various thickness. No special skills are needed to use it but it can be useful with a certain technique.
How to Light the Fire
Properly placed firewood with kindling and tinder placed on top seems to ba ett good recipe sor a successful fire. All you need after that is spark a lot of air.
