The FireAnt is a patented fire starting tool that fits into the corkscrew of Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. Paired with the included Helix Tinder these make a complete and 100% waterproof fire starting system. A true life saving tool! One FireAnt can last for several hundred fires when used with Helix Tinder.
Helix Tinder
Helix Tinder is a patent pending wax impregnated waterproof fiber tinder that integrates with the FireAnt into the corkscrew. Each Helix Tinder can be cut or pulled apart and used for multiple fires.
Glow in the Dark:
The FireAnt glows in the dark to help you locate your knife at night.
100% Waterproof:
The FireAnt and Helix Tinder are 100% waterproof and have been tested to work even after being submerged in water for over 4 months!
*The FireAnt fits into all modern Victorinox Swiss Army knives, but may not fit into older grooved style corkscrews.

Hard to describe the issue, but the 2 of 3 helix tinder are sort of unwinding? It doesn't screw into the corkscrew perfectly and bulges out/makes it difficult to close the corkscrew. However, aside from that, it does work well.

If you carry a Swiss Army Knife that has a corkscrew these are a must, in my humble opinion. I use shrink tube around them to keep the fire wick from breaking apart in my pocket/pack which is a terrific solution.

If you know how to use your SAK to strike a ferro rod then these work great and the added tinder is a good bonus as well. They are a bit pricey, but dang they are cool.

Edit: IF U ARE 1 OF THE CHOSEN ONES LIKE ME. THIS ALSO FLAWLESSLY FITS THE LEGENDARY LEATHERMAN GARAGE LIMITED EDITION "EUROPE 75".Edit#2: it appears if u do indeed soak 1 of the orange tenders in mineral oil.it will soak it up and inflate big time. Does it make it more flammable and effective I am not sure. My NEW OPTIMAL PERMENAT CARRY SCENARIO is just to install the tinder an the ferro rod put a little oil on the actual ferro rod then heat shrink them on there just like in my juice pictures.Fits the Leatherman juice series with its cork screw flawlessly. In my pictures u can't see it but I have it and 1 of the orange tinder pieces caked in mineral oil. Then I put some heat shrink tubing over that and sealed it on there with the oil to keep everything in mint condition.I highly recommend doing it the same way I did. Victorinox,Leatherman juice ect. Because coated in oil then incased/sealed with heat shrink tubing is optimal for permanent carry.Cheers for reading my review.U won't be disappointed in this purchase regardless of what u do.š¤š¤š¤šššš

Worked first try. Fluff the tinder, hold it down with the saw blade. Then strike the ferro rod against the back of the saw blade. Will get 100 fires out of each rod if used properly. Clever product.
