I think they tend to be very short though...and the metal striker is a PIA ifI remember correctly. If you have a knife, there is no need for the striker.

I lost my old Boy Scout one, but it worked every time.

I had one at some point...maybe it was just too fun to make sparks with when I was little and that's why it didn't seem to last very long Laughing

Playing with fire is fun, isn't it? Laughing

Wow that's the cheapest I've seen one of those in a long time! It's always been cheaper for me to just buy the swedish fire steel. Laughing
