USSOCOM"Its been a few years since my last order and I just got a box from you. The [firesteel] is great. It seems larger than the ones we at SpecOps got from you back when we were first deployed. I have been training intel officers after my 4 tours to Iraq and 3 to the Afghan Hills.
I am using the fire steels in both the field ops and SERE parts of the intel training....Those large blocks of magnesium were slowly whittled down over the years as were the old large fie sticks.
We [had] one pilot stand on a mountain scraping his fire steel as a signal. The PJs saw it 2 miles away. We even ignited time fuze with one to set off an IED."
