This firesteel from Light my fire is a quality made product. I made this purchase because I wanted to include a good quality, no frills ferrocerium rod and striker in a small kit that I could depend on.1. I questioned the cost of this rod and striker because there are other less cost effective options out there, but can you actually put a price on reliability? Thats my reasoning and justification for the purchase. 2. I selected the burnt orange handle because it would be visible (the light green was a bit much for me) if it accidentally fell among the greenery while camping, it could be found easily 3. I have medium size hands and I find the ergonomic thumb handles very comfortable, I have Diabetic nuerapathy so dexterity can be an issue for me some days, but this rod is easy to hold and use 4. I didn't buy this for its whistle application because if you did you might be disappointed. You may be able to use it with practice but in a survival emergency where your life depended on it, there's no time to fiddle with a gimmick. My advice buy a separate whistle that works as such! The whistle could have been engineered better imho so for this reason I took 1 star away. 5. In my case it's very practical as it nestled in my esee survival tin nicely and that's where it's going to live until it's called for duty.Inconclusion, I would definitely make this purchase again despite its cost. Its small enough to fit in my kit but its also stout enough to be handles and reliability is significantly important to me and in a pinch I need the smallest of investments to work just as much as the large ones. This ferro rod generates good sparks, it does what it's intended to and that works for me! Just one handymans honest review. Thx!

Seems like a good tool to keep in the car.

I really like the features of this Firestarter. The bright color makes it hard to misplace, the whistle is ok for a backup, and it throws a good amount of sparks. The whistle takes some practice to get a loud whistle, so I'd only use it as backup.

Good product. Unfortunately, and oddly, only the bottom side of the striker works and not the top side.

Great form and function... a lot of spark for its size. I carry one in my Jeep's glove box and another one in my pocket any time I'm out along the river or up in the mountains... Great size for pocket carry.

I've used this side by side with a 6" Bayite ferro rod (the cheap chinesium brand). The Bayite works better because it is twice as long and larger in diameter, giving much larger sparks. The short little Swedish product looks cool, but it is harder to use and you will end up smashing your fingers into your tinder more often than you will spark a flame.

Got these for my grade 8 students firestarting challenges. They work awesome and send great sparks. Can't say for durability yet, but they're great so far.

Works much better than other similar fire starters. The design ensures that you're always at the perfect angle to initiate a spark.
