Comments

Rachel R.: These work great and are easy to use my 10 and 12 year old sons can start a controlled fire.

Cc: This has gone in our scout backpack and or camping bag. I do wish it had a case that kept both pieces separate but it is a great product for what it is.

Sam Grisham: Fast delivery and as described. Great service. Will continue to use-order their products.

nicole niedermayer: I liked the fact that this came with two. I bought it because my fiancé and I are working on self-sustainability and having one for him and one for me for starters is nice. I liked that there were whistles, and compasses. We tested the compass on them and both of them are accurate. It's easy to get them to spark, but you need some BIG sparks to make a fire with them. My fiancé was able to get huge sparks and make small burn marks in the newspaper, and tinder, but it wouldn't go up. I went and got a paper towel, ripped it up and it he was able to strike it three times and it went up in flames. We were able to boil water over it and everything. We did this is still, normal conditions just as beginners. I wish this came with way more paracord, and I wish that these were a little bigger because the size of the flint determines the size of the sparks that are expelled. It would be hard for a kid to light, even a woman. If there is paper towel and very still weather involved, one besides a man might be able to light it.. I'm going to keep it as a backup. You always want to make sure you have 7 different ways to start fire, so I'm going to get a bigger one to get bigger sparks. This is...

M Z: I bought these in case of an emergency. I'm glad I have them but hope I won't need them.

James B: These will start a fire just fine with well prepared tinder but because of the fairly weak spark size (a factor of fire-steel material quality) you are limited to the usefulness of these in a real survival situation.

For this reason alone I would NOT recommend this for a survival kit.

This fire-steel does however offer a very affordable PRACTICE kit which will help you to develop the necessary skills to become proficient with flint & steel / fire-steel fire lighting. Make no mistake, this is NOT something that you can expect to just pickup and use well. It takes practice, so buy one or two of these and get practicing!

Peter Orcutt: I used it camping and it working pretty darn good, a little smaller than I thought they would be however still works.

Systeme Meditech: Almost didn't order because of the negative comments. Some people just can't be pleased. These are perfect strikers and work very well and easy to use. They are not too small! They are just the right size to fit into my tin of magnesium. The paracord is just an extra. Highly recommend these strikers for your camping or survival gear.

Canada on May 16, 2021

RMRM: You need to strike the stick with the striker fairly firmly and with the striking peice almost flat to get results. Be sure to do it quite swiftly and it should do the trick. It will ignite shredded paper, dead grass, even dryer lint.

Colin: Unfortunately, one of the 2 items was defective. One item works well but the other is not working properly. So this review is a mixed response.

* As an add on comment, the AOFAR team immediately resolved an issue with the product and demonstrated exceptional customer service. The replacement product works perfectly. Compliments to the AOFAR team for post-delivery support and responsiveness.

The products are great value at a competitive price.
