Took a little practice, but after a few tries, easy to use; perfect for our purpose.

Thank you for such a reliable product. Outdoor survival gear must be rugged, reliable, and simple in function. This product certainly delivered.


4 out of 5 stars It makes a lot of sparks but...   February 5, 2008

...in a survival situation this device might be frustrating and waste valuable time. Under optimal conditions I attempted to make a fire with this device and after 30 minutes of trying decided that if I were in a survival situation I'd probably have more time to try and make a fire. It certainly makes HOT and BRIGHT sparks, but I was unable to ignite materials commonly found outdoors like dried leaves and grass. However, I feel as though with a little practice I'd be guaranteed success, I just didn't have time to master it. Word to the wise: Don't buy it expecting to put it away until you need it. If you think you'll EVER need it, open your packaging and give it some practice. TRUST ME.

I got the Swedish fire steel mini and it broke the first day i used it. Didn't take much to have the steel simply snap off the handle. I was able to get a refund and purchased the army model which is by far better. Buy the Army model, you won't be disappointed.


5 out of 5 stars wonderful toys that actually work.   October 26, 2007

My family spends a significant amount of time "off road" (figuratively and literally.) The kids and I made a project of creating a "on the belt" Survival Kit. The fire aspect was an interesting learning experience.

Of all the "sparker" type setups, this was the ONLY one what worked with any ease or regularity (understanding that carrying a lighter was not the goal). Both kids (12 and 9) can, with any reasonable supervision, set up and light a fire (now we have fights to see who gets to light the wood burning stove at the ranch).

The product is cost effective, well shaped to the task and the striker is such that you can hold the striker stationary and pull the sparker across it. This along, make it stand heads above the rest of the field.
