Cool backup fire starter
929011
This necklace is great.  Throws a great spark and is light enough that you can put it on and forget that it is there.  It takes a certain "style" to be able to pull this off as an every day wear bit of jewelry but I've taken to carrying mine in the Jeep and I can just throw it on any time I am out and have a chance of being able to impress people with my ability to get instant large sparks from a necklace.
One more note on the quality of materials.  The leather cord and knots are really top notch.  The small ferro rod is really high quality and the small ceramic striker does a great job at being just big enough to easily grasp and small and sharp enough to be great at scraping the rod.
I would recommend this to anyone who regularly carries a ferro rod in their pocket as a back up means for starting a fire. This does every bit as well as a larger ferro rod, while blending it all into one neat easy to hang on to package.

These are really cool little fire starters and work as advertised.  I've not used mine more than 10-15 times so I can't speak for longevity at this point, but it really seems like you get a lot for what you pay.  However, it is not American made or anything so there is that aspect and I have a "you get what you pay for" concern for long term purposes.

As of now though, I can't find anything really wrong with these firestarters

Lights quickly with a spark-lite, lighter, fire rod etc. I put these in my emergency survival tin. Not the whole pack, only 3. I traced the shape of the tin on the card and cut them slightly smaller than the tin. Slid them in a mini-ziplock/hobby bag, and taped it inside the lid of the tin for fast easy access.  Just a tip: I keep my tinder cards taped inside the lid and my spark-lite on the right-hand side. Even in total darkness I know just where to find the two tools to start a fire. There will be plenty left over so throw that in your pack or bug out bag. takes up less space than an ezbit, wetfire, or other tinder. All it takes is a small piece to start a fire. I think its soaked in candle paraffin. Might can make these. Just gotta find the paper/cards. Reminds me of those cards the pefume counter ladies use to spray samples on.

I don't use too many Gerber items but, I like this fire starter.  It's comfortable in the hand, stows as a single unit so individual parts won't get lost, has an emergency whistle and a small compartment that carries dry tinder.

Purchased at a discount for an honest review: The Sure Fire Starters by Walden arrived in a nice burlap gift bag and had a nice outdoorsy scent. There were 6 starters. They are short cardboard cylinders that have been dipped in a soy/paraffin mixture that are stuffed with paper flanges that protrude for the top. A flat bottom allows this to sit where it's placed to start the fire. It's a simple concept and is made in the USA by adults with disabilities...I love this! We used our first one to light the fire pit. The top was easy to light and has a 5 " or so flame and we had teepeed our wood. There were no problems keeping the starter going even though it was windy or getting the wood lit. In about 10 minutes we had a nice fire going. Since the materials are non-toxic and safe these can be used in grills and smokers without worrying about your food. These would make a great Father's Day gift for the outdoor chef and a nice addition to the camping box.

Great fire starter especially for the money. Does not have magnesium in it so the sparks seem to go out quickly but it is very thick and seems like it will last a long time

Easy to set up and use. Small yet provides enough flame and heat. You will need some type of heat resistant glove or resistant to take the lid off and add more wood to it once the fire has been raging.

Starting fires is part of my normal outdoor activities and a windproof usb rechargeable lighter was just screaming for me to order it. I tried it as soon as I received it and it was partially charged.  The video shows me lighting a rolled up piece of toilet paper. The lighter will light up blue when opened and the coil starts to glow red. After a short time the light blinks and it goes off. You can open it again and it will start the process over. It also lights up when charging and turns off when fully charged. I have a portable battery and solar panel as part of my gear so this complements what I already have. Even though I could start a fire with flint and some cedar bark something about all the cool gadgets gets me excited and this lighter is no exception. I would recommend this to a friend.

I managed to get a fire started with a bit of cotton batton, some vaseline, and this fire starter on my first try. The serated edge of the striker gave a nice small pile of magnesium, and the striker scraped against the flint gave a good, strong bunch of sparks. I am thinking of getting a couple more for my friends.

I purchased the Fire Starter in case my matches get wet, or maybe I forgot to bring matches along!  Nice and compact to put in the backpack and very easy to use.

Pretty convenient piece.  It throws a lot of sparks, and my son was able to start a campfire rather  quickly.

It's a firestarter that actually starts fires and unlike a BIC lighter can't run out of gas when the button gets pressed in your kit.  What else is there to say?

Great little fire starter for common or rare use. I use it to start my bonfires on the weekends and while camping.

Great little fire starter.  I looked at several different ones before deciding on this one.  I think I made the right choice after using this thing.  It puts out plenty of hot sparks in rapid succession.  Would buy this item again.

This fire starter works great, I gave one to each of my 8 year olds and they were able to start multiple fire during our camping trip.
