It's a lazy man's fire steel...  Actually looks pretty good, it definitely has the benefit of being usable with only one hand, so if you are injured, you don't need to use both hands to get a fire going...always a plus. I'm not sure I would charge $20 for that though, seems a bit pricey

I have one, I like a normal fire steel better, but if you had a busted hand this would be a life saver

I think i'l stick to my normal fire steel. I have to pack an extra knife to use it (which is attached to it now) and an extra blade is always good! Looks interesting tho.

Hi all:
I got 4 of these from NRA a few years ago.
They do work well but aren't very durable.
I ended up breaking 2 of them by accident,but saved the rod part & attached a sawzall blade to them & now they look like this:
They still work well...better in fact than when they were new. They throw a BUNCH of sparks!!!
In fact I took the other 2 apart & did the same thing to them.
Doing this does take away the one handed approach to using them,but in a situation that I needed to use it with only one hand I suppose I could figure something out:

Good improvision, Cliff.
I remember reading somewhere about them breaking with somebody else. 
At least you can still use the big flint.

They are supposed to have a Lifetime Warrantee, but it's probably easier to just use it as a flint than to send it back.
