As other reviewers have noted, these are very fragile. Slice a piece of wood, popsicle stick sized, and support it. It’s very soft because it throws a ton of sparks. If you have trouble with Ferro rods, this will if that. Use the backing the saw blade with a Huntsman snd you would be hard pressed not to get a fire going in 2 minutes. Collect a few pieces of fat wood in an old mint tin. A small piece cut into a feather stick will catch on the first or second strike.

Ordered these by mistake. My fault. After struggling to get the mini’s (they would arrive taken out of the package as a single and each time broken because of it (thanks Etsy). I measured the toothpick and broke off the extra length. While it’s a tight fit, they do fit, and the extra little piece of nylon grip that sticks out, helps to pull it out of the knife pocket. Perfect for backpacking.

Received the Firefly ferro rods for my Swiss Army Knife, Huntsman. Very nice, it has been much fun practicing with it.FYI, the text on the package is incorrect, it reads “Superior quality flint”, truly this is not flint. Folks think a ferro rod is flint, it is not. Flint, more common in the USA is Chert, is an inert stone; itself cannot spark. Flint/Chert is used for striking and scraping the steel in the flint and steel technique. Using the flint on high carbon steel produces hot shards flying from the steel producing sparks. The flint itself does not spark, it cannot, only the steel produces sparks. Firefly, although an outstanding ferro rod for the Swiss Army knife, absolutely is not a flint, more it is as the steel. Reason I mention this is quite often I am reading posts calling ferro rods flint; quite incorrect. Many folks do not understand the concept of flint and steel nor ferro rod and striker.

I've had the same stick in my victorinox for a few months now, and have started about a dozen fires with ZERO issues or breaking. These are small and could be fragile if you're an ogre. I've heard of people braking theirs left and right, BUT if you support the end of the stick with under tip of the finger (like the meaty part) and strike the tip of the stick you'll get consistent sparks with no risk of breaking the stick.

First, the plastic "knob" or "handle" for the rod is far too flexible. They need to use a more rigid plastic. The first one I tried inserting simply broke off where the plastic is fused on. If they reduced the height of the rod ever so slightly just at the last 3mm of the tip they could get two fusion points instead of one, similar to how the tweezers at designed.Second, this does not appear to work on a SAK Ranger. Even though it's a larger knife, the hole for the toothpick seems to taper and the ferro rod easily gets stuck. The hole for the tweezers is even smaller.This did fit in a "standard," larger SAK and it does throw decent sparks. Mostly disappointed in the cheapness of the plastic part (their fault) and that it doesn't fit into the Ranger model (not really their fault).

lets you add a fire starter striker to most swiss army knives! [replaces toothpick]
