Kuvik High-Carbon Steel Flint Striker for Emergency Fire Starting and Survival

I bought a bunch of these for friends after teaching them to build flint and steel fires. I checked them myself, and they work great. They are large enough for someone with bigger hands than mine to hold comfortably, and the striking edge is thick enough front to back that it puts a little more distance between your knuckles the sharp piece of flint that you will eventually and inevitably slice across your knuckles while learning to do this. The striking edge is also slightly ridged, a feature that I really appreciate, as it makes it easier to throw a spark.They aren't nearly as pretty a hand wrought one, as they appear to be cut from a slab. But my pretty hand wrought has a snapped off handle, and is shaped in such as way as that I frequently have cut knuckles. See the above statement. So after testing them to make sure they worked well, I ended up buying another one for myself to replace my "pretty" one.Solid, easy to use, and gets the job done.

Good piece of 1095 steel good sparks.Will work great with a good piece of Flint

I purchased this item for my FCF Candidates. They worked great with no complants.

This fire steel throws a decent amount of sparks. Not the best I've had but not the worst by far. I was a little disappointed that it was not forged but cut from a plate in the shape of a traditional forged striker.

Cool for authenticity

12-15 fires in with no complaints. Probably will order a couple more.

See the title!

Works well. I just had to finish the work for them! All of the inside edges were very sharp on the hand.
