Ember Rock Survival Fire Steel Premium Magnesium Ferrocium Rod Firesteel Includes Flint Striker Multi Tool & Chunky Wooden Handle for Grip Essential Fire Starter Camping Survival Kit

This works well, easy to strike and creates a mass of sparks every time.The string is a little short but I reconfigured it and now it’s perfect.Taught my 7yr old daughter some bushcraft and she found using it a breeze as well and successfully started a fire.Good value for the price.

I am a complete novice when it comes to building camp fires but this has made it so much easier, I won't go camping now without it, great piece of kit.

The media could not be loaded. Works well. Good quality for the price. Gets a good spark. The black paint scratches off, it seems to work better without it though. Don’t mind about the paint as long as it works!

I'm not a hardcore woodsman, but have wanted a half-decent fire steel for quite some time, and this one fits the bill nicely. I've mainly wanted it so that I can keep my skills up to scratch and to teach my daughter to use one too.The steel is a good size, and comes with a nice size striker that is big enough to be comfortable in the hand. It sparks easily, and the sparks themselves are clearly high temperature, unlike the ones you often get with a traditional flint and steel. The handle on the steel is a decent size, but is raw wood and in damp conditions over a long period might be susceptible to splitting, but I've not had it long enough to test this. A bit of wax, boiled linseed oil or varnish would sort that out easily enough, and allow you to personalise it a little anyway. The striker cord isn't too long or short either, so overall it's a good bit of kit at a very good price. I really can't fault it for the money, and if nothing else, it would make an excellent backup to a trusted favourite.

Quality product. Does the job for what it's designed for excellently.

So easy to use. Sparks are huge once the black stuff comes off the flint. It’s brilliant. Can’t believe how good it is. Handy to have

Once I got the knack of it, doing some initial shavings with the sharpener at an angle then sparking them, it worked excellently.

Excellent little tool.At first, was thinking, I've got a dud?But, after a few strikes, wow, sparks galore, so take care.One tip, the rope is too short, IMO, so tie it singularly, at each end of each tool, not as a loop as it comes, just makes the striking easier.All in all, great tool. I sometimes just sit and spark away, regardless of starting a fire or burner, but I'm a big kid😂
