English Flint Fire Strikers (5 Piece) Flint for Sparking Survival Tools Outdoor Camping

Glade I ordered these. By far my favorite fire building method. Good amount of edges to get a spark off your steel. Should buy a couple more.

The flint came in a black velvet bag which was stuffed full. This bag contained 5 pieces of natural flint, 2 of which were quite large; one was small but still useful in size. They appear to be English flint, and they spark like a true English flint when struck with a good piece of steel. I was quite impressed with the quality and quantity of flint in this order.

Some reviewers reported the same experience, so I was expecting what I received. As the photos show, we received two nice size chunks. There was also two rather thin curved pieces, which look to be perfectly suitable striking flints. I am not a knapper, and have no interest in starting. The three thicker pieces I intended to cut with lapidary tools into musket flints. In that, I feel it was a good value for the money. One might wish to use the material for something other than fire strikers. In that case, it might be best to decide what to do with this product AFTER receiving it.

Good size pieces which will make it easy to strike a spark.

Not super happy with this purchase. What I received was more of the outer cortex than flint. Two of the five pieces seem useable. The rest look like what a flint knapper throws away at the end of their project. I've been trying to remove the cortex but frankly there won't be much left when I'm done.

I actually got more pieces than I expected. They were all of a decent manageable size. I made my own steel from a file. Ala David West channel. Lots of sparks to my charcloth. Also, I now know what chert looks like and will know what to look for in my adventures.

I received about a handful of sharp flint stones. And it was packaged in a nice drawstring bag. Very nice.

Excellent product - Excellent service - I recommend 100%
