It works fine as a clasp, but it's not overly comfortable. The whistle is... forgettable. The small ferro rod definitely works, but the provided scraper is atrocious. I can't get a good spark unless I use a different scraper than what is provided.

these are just as described, perfect for making true survival bracelets when coupled with firecord (what I call paracord with a fire tinder strand)

These little things actually work. The whistle is loud once you figure it out. The ferro and striker started 3 fires and took hundreds of strikes from 11 yr olds liking the spark and still had plenty of life left. I Cant speak to the strength of the clip part as I have not used them that way yet. I can say that even if not real sturdy there are plenty of non stress load bearing places these can be used. considering the price you cant go wrong. I bought a dozen and handed them out at a kids fishing camp, they loved them.

I taught a group of 9 and 10-year old Webelos how to make paracord survival bracelets, and these buckles were A HUGE HIT. The Scouts *loved* their bracelets, and with practice, they were able to get some great sparks from the flint & steel buckle. The whistle part was a nice addition, too, and we talked about how 3 blasts of a whistle is the universal signal for help. Some of the whistles seemed a little louder than others, or maybe the kids just had to blow harder? Great purchase for my Scouts.

They're not bad, but I wouldn't completely trust them as my only fire source in the wilderness. The ferro rod is obviously small, along with the scraper which makes it tough to consistently get good sparks. However I have gotten sparks to light steel wool, cedar bark, and dryer lint. In a pinch, these may be the only thing standing between you and hypothermia so I add them to some of the paracord survival bracelets and lanyards to have them as backups to my primary whistle and fire starting method.On a scale of 1-10... I give the whistle a 6.5 on a loudness scale, and that's blowing with considerable effort. I have better whistles that are much louder with less effort, but they are dedicated whistles.Overall, the buckle is large and flat, so it's better suited for a larger wrist, but it works even better with my survival lanyards. Very strong connection. I never feel like it will accidentally come unbuckled.

These are excellent. I bought them to make paracord bracelets that had a fire-starter. These are nice since they have both components of the starter embedded in one convenient piece.The buckle itself is roughly the length of a wrist though the loops where the paracord go through are positioned in such a way that the cord fits tightly around the wrist. That being said the slots are somewhat tight for 9 strand cord.The pieces as a whole had no obvious defects. All components work as expected. The whistle blew loud relative to other traditional whistles. The buckle works like all buckles. But most importantly the fire starter works well, after the outer coating is scraped off of course. I am by no means a professional when it comes to striking a fire, I've only done it twice in my life, but I was able to get a spark at least 1/5 strikes and as well as 1/2 when the striker was positioned well. However I have not actually started a fire with it, but the sparks do seem large enough to be viable a majority of the time.Update: After initially playing around with the starter it became more difficult to get sparks. I became frustrated and started striking it with the edge of a scissors which produced fantastic sparks nearly every strike. I then flipped the striker from the bucked so that the other edge was more available on one side of the buckle. I again received fantastic results with sparks at least 50% strikes having a spark and was able to start a small piece of dryer lint on fire.

Very satisfied with my purchase. Was really swayed by the price and the features. I haven't had the chance to make a bracelet yet with them but I did check them out and they appear sturdy and well put together. Time will tell, of course, but I think these will serve their purpose well. Love the fire start feature.

Our sons and some of their friends that are Boy Scouts wanted to make paracord bracelets. They wanted the bracelets to have paracord and a whistle and firestarter so we tried these. The whistle is quite loud and piercing. The flint and steel are easy to use to get sparks. The buckle is a little large, big enough to replace the strap on a backpack, but they work for making paracord bracelets. I have found that I like to have four strands of paracord through each end of the buckle to mop up excess space. We have tried a few different buckles with whistles and firestarters, some smaller and not so chunky, some containing compasses. These are my favorite. The compasses didn't really work well and the smaller sizes buckles didn't hold up well when using the flint and steel. I've considered adding one of these to my backpack because it doesn't really add any weight but would give me more options in an emergency. I've included photos showing the size. I'm an adult male and the smart watch is on the smaller size.
