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

MFH Flint with Compass
Tough and compact ferrocerium flint with a lifespan reaching several thousand uses. It's ideal not only for camping but also for emergencies. The flint allows you to ignite a gas stove, camping stove, or campfire with ease.
Ferrocerium - reliable fire source
Ferrocerium flint functions by vigorously scraping the flint rod with the sharp edge of the striker. This process causes the cerium in the rod to oxidize and spontaneously ignite. A single strike generates sparks with temperatures reaching 3000 deg. C, which, when they fall onto prepared kindling, will ignite a flame, even in extreme cold or heavy rain.
Compass placed in the grip
Embedded within the composite grip of the rod is a small liquid-filled button compass.
Set elements
The set comprises a flint and a specialized steel plate (striker) for generating sparks, all secured to a cord. The housing's red color enhances visibility of the flint in low-light or adverse weather conditions.

The fire starter is useful for camping trips, the price is low, and the product is handy and easy to store. A good alternative when you don't have matches, it effectively lights a campfire. A well-thought-out article from a trusted company.
-
The fire starter seems solid and well-made. I don't have a comparison to other models, but it generates a lot of sparks. Unfortunately, the compass doesn't work because the dial doesn't rotate relative to the casing when changing position. I recommend the fire starter, but not the compass.
-
For this price, it's really a good fire starter. The spark generator is average, but with a knife it makes nice sparks. The compass is more of a gadget, but roughly shows directions. I recommend it especially for practice.
-
It's a decent fire starter of average quality. I compared the compass with others and it's fine. I haven't tested fire starting itself yet, but cheaper models performed worse.
-
Very good fire starter at a favorable price, although the metal plate from the set holds a bit poorly, but it sparks excellently. The compass is a nice bonus, and placing it in the handle does not negatively affect the grip. 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 those more expensive (over 80 PLN), but this one really is completely sufficient. I recommend it.
-
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.
