I purchased the fire steel so that I can teach our Cubs basic fire lighting skills. These are easy to use and so far have helped a lot of young children. Nice sturdy items with easy to hold handles.

I bought four of these for Cubs to practice firelighting with, and they (and other adults with the group) had a lot of difficulty getting a spark out of them. I managed to do so myself but the small size of the flint and steel made it a lot less easy than using a larger item. So perhaps lesson learned to buy bigger ones for training. This one would be OK as an occasional use item to have say in a general minimalist survival kit, when you didn't want to carry anything more substantial, but if you are thinking of getting some for youngsters to use, I'd steer clear of this particular model. The cubs were able to get sparks out of a bigger model without too much trouble.

Today i decided to have a go at lighting a fire and was very successful, after several attempts and getting nowhere i went onto the internet to see where i was going wrong, The steel is coated with a black substance to prevent rust thats where i was going wrong, i removed that and lit a fire at my first attempt. For the makers i would say to put this information on the box or a leaflet inside, however the quality is excellent and i cant give enough praise to the makers. I will definitely get a couple more when i have the money

Brilliant little gadget. Good quality and lights first time, and with a decent strike it will light kindling with ease. Also arrived with a credit card multitool which is also very well made and useful when camping. Great buy and would recommend!
