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.

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.

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.
-
It sparks very well. The fire starter is great.
