Reviewer: Gunny95
One of the greatest things I have learned about the outdoors is to be prepared. This tool does not get wet like matches do, or run out of fuel like a bic lighter. One other thing....learned this one from a boyscout handbook....the lint you can get from your dryer at home works great as a fire starting source. Collect it from the dryer lint screen and store it in a zip lock bag. This handy tool and the lint work great together. Works great for charcoal grills as well as wood fires. Enjoy the outdoors everyone and above all, stay safe. Semper Fi !

Reviewer: BillC
This is a very good tool for stating fires. I usually carry a boy scout flint along with cotton balls and petroleum jelly, but this tool is just large enough (the flint is long enough) to start dried grass burning with just the sparks from the flint. A good carbon blade is needed because most stainless steel blades will not throw a spark. Test your blade before heading off into the great unknown. Place the end of the block square to the ground (the other end pointing straight up) and carefully use the back of your knife to deposit a very small pile of shavings on the ground. Add your tinder close to and around the shavings. Add your kindling around your tinder. Hold the back of the blade of your knife close to the shavings and bring the flint under the blade pointed at the shavings. Quickly pull the flint sending sparks into the shavings. This thing is like swimming in that once you see how it works you don't forget. But practice practice practice. (It isn't necessary to "shave" the magnesium. Just move the back of your blade in a back and forth abrading motion to produce a SMALL pile of minute particles.)
3.0 Rating Not that easy - 11/11/2007Magnesium Fire Starter U.S. Miitary NSN: 4240-01-160-5618 Made in U.S.A.3.0000
Reviewer: MK1
A good lighter is better. This thing is not that easy to use. It's easy to scatter all the shavings by knocking it while trying to strike the flint near the pile. You need to shave A LOT for it to work. You can buy a really good lighter for the same price that probably won't fail. This thing may last longer than a lighter, but if you're stranded long enough to use it 100 times or more, you'll probably learn how to start a fire on your own...or die of hunger, thirst, cold, sickness, killer animals, etc...first.
