 Firesteel is your frirend January 2, 2007

I have the SL3 pocket knife that features the Firesteel built into it. I've had great success in using my firesteel. I think one of the main things that leads to my success is that i always carry my own tinder with me. I usually use cotton balls, lint from my laundry machine, and or tinder fungus when i can find it. I usually just use the back of my knife to scrape the rod and i always get big sparks out of it. Regardless for me its still a backup to light fires if i run out of matches and its never let me down.

The Firesteel works! Soon after I purchased it I took my 12 year old children on a day trip to the Sierra snow. With a little practice and a wad of dryer lint, all three quickly masterd starting a fire in realistic survival conditions. The Firesteel generates a shower of sparks- all you need is dry tinder to get a fire started in minutes. Of course you can do the same with a Cricket lighter, but the Firesteel won't break, leak or otherwise deteriorate over time, so it is the perfect addition to a survival kit that you may need, say, about 10 years from now.

If you cannot make a fire with this tool, you should not be making a fire! This simple tool provides the ability to create the spark needed to start a fire in any weather conditions. Perfect size and weight to carry camping, hiking, or for home use. Love it.
This is a GREAT firestarter. June 16, 2007

I just recieved The Army Firesteel From Light My Fire, And couldn't wait to try it out. I took a tissue and placed it on the ground to see if I could get a fire started and 3 scrapes down the bar,I had a fire going it was really simple and it should last longer than me :)
Most definitely worth it. November 19, 2007

Portable, easy to use, durable - what more can you ask for? After receiving the item in the mail, I became eager to find out whether or not it worked. So right there in the middle of the parking lot I broke out some pre-made tinder (cotton balls soaked in vaseline), placed one cotton ball on the ground, and gave the FireSteel a few good strikes and it lit that ball right up.
And, that being the first time I've ever lit a fire without a match or lighter, I felt like the first caveman to discover fire. The item produced large, beautifully bright and burning sparks that will most definitely ignite some good tinder. The key word there is GOOD tinder: birch bark, dryer lint, cotton balls drenched in vaseline, or other fine tinder will work. Don't throw sparks at some random log or leaf and expect a roaring, burning inferno, this thing doesn't produce miracles.
But it's close enough :) A KEY survival item. It's now a staple in my personal survival kit. I'll probably be purchasing the Scout model as well. And maybe the rest of the models........ It's THAT good.
