Very nice fire starter, solid rod and well-fitted striker – the whole set easily fits in a pocket. I definitely recommend purchasing it.

This fire starter is really big and sturdy. I think it will last for a long time. Thanks to its size, it's comfortable to use. I was maybe expecting a bit more sparks, but it still works well. Maybe it will get better with use.

I definitely recommend this product. Very interesting, raw look. Sturdy and solid fire starter with plenty of sparks. The spirit burner lit on the first try. The striker is comfortable, suitably thick and long, and fits well in the hand, unlike the thin pieces from cheap sets. The cord is very helpful in emergency situations.
