Hi Berkley,
Definitely a rather unique fire starting kit. Indian Ebayers often have metal starters mostly like steel brass knuckles. I've taken a photo from Oriental-Arms site that shows a similar Tibetan one. and a small index finger length one I have.

Yours, as Stuart says may well have carried flints. The powder may be mushroom punk, used to hold a spark, or a poppy resin. The striking blade on yours could even be used to shred dry bark for tinder. I like your all in one kit. Steve
