MFH Flint with Compass

Highly durable, compact ferrocerium firestarter capable of thousands of strikes. Perfect for camping or emergency use. Can ignite a gas stove, camping burner, or open fire.

Ferrocerium – a reliable way to start fire

This firestarter works by scraping the ferrocerium rod with a sharp striker, causing oxidation and ignition. One strike produces sparks reaching 3,000 °C, which can ignite tinder even in extreme conditions like frost or rain.

Practical compass in the handle

The composite handle houses a small liquid-filled button compass.

Set contents

The kit includes the ferrocerium rod with a steel striker attached on a lanyard. The red housing makes it easy to locate in low light or bad weather.

    I tried it, it produces good sparks, it is a sufficient size, and the price could have been lower. The compass is nothing special... But the fire starter produces a good spark. It is worth buying. It did not disappoint.

    A great and extremely affordable fire starter (it's hard to find a cheaper one of similar quality). With just one strike, you get plenty of sparks, which makes lighting a fire much easier. I definitely recommend it.

    A solid, fairly heavy fire starter that generates a lot of sparks. The small compass works well – I compared it with a bigger one and it shows the right direction, so I think it's worth considering.

    A handy fire starter for camping trips, low price and the product is convenient and easy to store. A good alternative when there are no matches, effectively starts a campfire. A well-designed item from a proven company.

    The fire starter seems solid and well-made. I have no comparison to other models, but it generates a lot of sparks. However, unfortunately the compass does not work, as the dial does not rotate relative to the housing when changing position. I recommend the fire starter, but not the compass.

    For this price, it's a really good fire starter. The striker is average, but with a knife it gives nice sparks. The compass is more of a gadget, but it more or less indicates directions. I recommend it especially for practice.

    This is a decent fire starter of average quality. I compared the compass with others, and it's fine. I haven't tested the lighting itself yet, but the cheaper models performed worse.

    Very good fire starter at a favourable price, although the metal piece from the set doesn't hold very well, but it does create great sparks. The compass is a nice addition, and its placement in the handle doesn't affect the grip negatively. I recommend this product.

    For this price, you probably won't find anything better. I have 6 different fire starters, each in a different backpack. I started with the more expensive ones (over 80 PLN), but this one is really absolutely sufficient. I recommend it.

    The sparks fly out easily and it's easy to start a fire. The compass also works correctly.
