The SOG Flint is Designed to Help You in Potential Emergency Situations
The Flint from SOG Knives packs 4 essential survival tools into one single package that's about the size of a short pencil. Included in this small and portable package are a fire starter, a steel wool tinder compartment, a carbide-tipped glass breaker, and a safety whistle. If you're stranded in the cold, you can start a fire. If you're trapped in a vehicle, you can break the window to escape. If you need to signal somebody nearby for help, you can get their attention with the whistle. The Flint can easily be slipped into a backpack, worn on a lanyard, or even carried in the pocket. Pick up the SOG Flint and take control of your safety.SOG Flint Specifications and Features:

Not worth it
It looks cool, but it's almost totally non-functional. The whistle works, but is anemic no matter how you blow into it. The sparker and ferrocerium rod DO NOT WORK. If they did, you could, maybe, get the included pea-sized ball of steel wool to ignite. I did not test the glass breaker, but since it's on such a short and small-diameter rod, I doubt you'd get enough force on the glass to break it.
