Firefly Regular 3 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives (Neon Green-Yellow Glow)

This is a perfect way to add a Ferro rod to your Swiss army knife. Just swap out the toothpick, and you are good to go. Will only fit on the mid size or larger models (81mm +) but you want them that size for outdoors use anyway. And you will probably want a corkscrew model because you can get the fire starter kindling that fits into the corkscrew as well. Look for a Huntsman, a Trekker or similar Swiss army knife. The wood saw will make an excellent striker for these rods. Just remember that they are brittle and always strike on the narrow edges. Very reliable way to start a camp fire, with a little bit of practice.

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.

It’s great quality for what it is, a better than nothing option when you need it. I would not use it regularly because it is brittle but definitely happy with it over a tooth pick. You have to hold it and strike it properly per the instructions or it will break. I broke one of three and that was my fault but I still made a fire using the broken piece. Just know that it wouldn’t hold up as regular use item but it definitely beats a tooth pick any day.

Funcional for emergencies. A bit fragile but very portable, fits on your knif ok.

Used with care, these are still very delicate and snap very easily. Unfortunately, can't find a better choice out there for this particular application

It definitely works well and as advertised. If it is not working for you, read the directions a couple of times, and watch YouTube videos. You should definitely practice; you have enough of them available. For me, it was not working very well; then I changed my technique, and it worked very well. For those breaking them, you are applying unnecessary force. Little force is needed if you find the right technique. Practice! I seriously hate the price. Was going to give a lower rating based on that. But it is what it is until they get cloned.

This product was not worth the $20 they are very small and very fragile. It shows using the back of the saw blade on the Swiss knife to strike the flint but it is nearly impossible because the blade does not lock open and the side you use your thumb to hold it open it very sharp. The flint broke into three pieces on my first attempt to use it.

This is cool and it works. I removed the toothpick and replaced it with this fire starter. Fits perfect with my Victorinox Woodsmans and pocket knife. Easy to use. Thin side up. Practice with it before you really have to use it. I like the neon green color.
