Swedish Flint Fire Starter Ferro Rod Survival Tools SCOUT | Fire Steel Bushcraft Camping Gear | Flint and Steel Fire Starter Kit 2-in-1 Fire Flint and Striker 3,000 Strikes

Very good quality sparks

Everlasting, works first strike.

Bought as a 'solid' back up to my mini-Bic lighter. I purposely selected this on the basis of it being compact and lightweight. I only received this last night (thank you, quick delivery) and have already used it. Once the protective coating has been removed via approx 20 'strokes' the rod chucks out an impressive array of sparks. It is compact, as known - and I have large hands (glove size 14 - very hard to find) so I would not want to use this for my primary source of ignition but people with smaller hands will not have this issue. The striker also looks a little flimsy but I can always use my pocket knife (etc) as an alternative striker. As I bought this as a back up I am comfortable.

Simple well made striker. Great small gift / stocking filler for dad.

Very compact & works very well.

Works really good .came as described

Not used it yet but it is well made with a back-up whistle (not as loud as a proper whistle) and it only weighs 25g. If you want an ultralight kit list then this is the lightest I could find.

Have previously bought a very fancy one of these from etsy and was unimpressed. This one is so easy even my 4 year old got the hang of it in minutes. A great addition to any camping trip.
