It's not that small at all, but it's very durable. At this price, it's really worth it, because although there are alternatives that are half the price, the robustness of this fire starter saves time and frustration. Lighting a fire takes some practice and it might not work at first, but the fire starter itself is very solid.
Wildo Fire-Flash Pro Small Flint - Yellow
A flint featuring a ferrocerium rod with a diameter of 6 mm, emitting a abundant shower of sparks at a temperature of 3000 deg. C. Effective even in challenging weather conditions, such as rain or wind, and at high altitudes. It enables the lighting of a gas stove, camping stove, or a fire, serving as a source of warmth and allowing you to prepare a meal away from home. It proves useful both during camping trips and in emergency situations.
handle made of plastic, striker, and pendant
The handle is made of porous plastic and painted in a bright colour, making it easier to find quickly if lost, e.g., in grass. The flint set includes a striker in the form of a serrated metal plate and a paracord pendant. Thanks to its compact size, the set fits in a trouser pocket or backpack.
In the Pro version, a thicker plate with sharper edges is used, generating even more sparks.

The fire starter is of good quality, especially worth highlighting is the striker, which can later be used with other fire starters, improving their functionality and comfort of use. The name suggests it is small, but in reality, it has typical dimensions.
-
This is my first fire starter. I had no problem lighting a fire with it, both with the striker and with a knife (Cold Steel SRK). It's compact and can be easily fitted into various EDC organiser pockets.
-
The fire starter is small, but it performed well during the trip, even in difficult weather conditions. It may not give very spectacular sparks, but for an amateur user it is more than enough. Good product, I recommend it.
-
Great and easy-to-use firestarter. I have already tried it in other colours, and this time I chose bright yellow to make it more visible.
-
Very nice, simple and comfortable firestarter of small size. It throws a lot of sparks, which is a big plus. The black version looks great – the campfire will know that a professional is approaching ;-)
-
The fire starter comes with a convenient striker, it produces so many sparks that some people ask if it's a sparkler ;-) Seriously though, it's really nice, simple to use and works very well.
-
Great firestarter, works flawlessly – it’s perfect both for a simple camp and in emergency situations. The price is completely affordable. Highly recommended.
-
It's simply a solid fire starter, produces plenty of sparks, and the striker is sharp enough. Personally, I prefer slightly thicker models, but this one also fulfils its function and will work for anyone.
-
I've tested several different fire starters available on the market and this one is the best. It generates a lot of sparks, and even first-time users have no problems using it.
-
This firestarter is really outstanding, practically the best available in Poland. It stands out among other sparkers. It's worth paying a few extra zlotys for such high quality. I definitely recommend it.
-
Don't be put off by the name "small" – the size is perfectly sufficient, and the fire starter works brilliantly. Thanks to the colour, it's easy to find. It fits easily in a medium-sized hip bag pocket, so you can always have it with you.
-
In my opinion, this is the best fire starter available in Poland. It produces a lot of sparks even with little effort and is very durable. I highly recommend it, especially to people who often spend time in the forest.
-
Really good firestarter for this price. It gives strong sparks. A nice feature is the orange colour, which makes it hard to lose. The size is rather average (there are smaller ones), but it will easily fit, for example, in a waist bag.
-
The order was completed extremely fast (in less than 24 hours). Everything works flawlessly – both the shop and the firestarter itself. Wildo is probably one of the best companies on the market.
