I have several of these and have given many as gifts. They are the best, IMHO, ferrocium rod system, and I have tried most of them over the years. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Quoted:
Do any of you guys start fires with these things without some fancy tender? If you are going to rely on premade tender then just bring a lighter. m4whore Yes, I have started fires with a variety of tender, all of which I collected in the woods. Nothing premade required. One of my favorite, due to being so readily vailable, is cedar bark. Get a couple hand fulls, rub it back and forth between your hands to separate the fine stuff, and you are in business. Leaves, grass, cattails, all good to go if it is dry. We have had a lot of rain this year and I have yet to have the cedar fail me using a fire steel. |

I found a pretty good deal on these @ this site.
