Great video. I can't emphasize enough the importance of sourcing your own needs from nature rather than from the shop. Shop products take the craft out of bushcraft!
I guess most evergreens will work. The fir has the quality that it rots from the outside the inside. The resin preserves the last parts of the three. When you find a stump shaped like that you know it's full with resin.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

They are handmade and really sharp. In a recent test they ended up sharper than surgical blades. The best you can buy!

Will any evergreen work, or is this unique to the fir?

What do you mean with it will make your fire catch flame much faster?
How do you use those sticks?
Whats the difference for example with making fire with firestones?

A Mayastick is full with resin. Therefore it will make your fire catch flame much faster.

Down south we call this a fat-lighter stump. And yes, it does burn really well.
