Add the optional Magnesium Tinder rod (3/8" x 3") and you'll have the means to start a fire even in damp conditions.
This FireSteel is one-inch shorter than the favorite of the US Army and US Air Force survival specialists - the regular sized Armageddon FireSteel (3/8" x 4").

Holy hoardes of white hot sparks!
I received my Armageddon Jr. and had to give a try! After a couple of strikes to remove the coating, the Fire Steel was throwing multiple white hot sparks with each strike. The size is great! Big enough to hold onto easily with my big hands, but not so big it will add much weight in my pack. Dryer lint and lathe shavings fear my Armageddon Jr.!!!

Better than all the others I have tried. Bought for each son, my wife and myself.

Pretty great
This product is far better than the stuff you'll get at a retail or sporting goods store. The magnesium bar scrapes effectively without much effort, and the sparks from the firesteel are like a mini fireworks display. The sparks are so much larger than any other firesteel I've used and so bright you can barely stand to look at them! Much easier to get a fire going with this item than the typical cheapo from coghlans, cabela's, coleman, etc... I'd recommend this product to anyone and advise you to throw the old ones in the trash. Buy this. It won't let you down.

As advertised
Delivered on time. Took a few strokes to get the coating off but started sending sparks in droves. Coated some dryer lint with Vaseline and fist strike lit it up! Highly recommended as a backup to a Bic lighter. Bics don't work to well wet where as the FireSteel will.

Just Perfect
This Fire Steel is simply perfect; great size, the striker is superb, thick popping sparks every time; perfect. A three-fingered monkey could make fire with one of these.

Very, Very Nice
Works exactly the way it is supposed to work. Big sparks each and every time. Will definitely be ordering more in the future.

Great product
I have not had a chance to use this product other than a trial test in my office. From what I can tell by that this product should more than do the trick. I also liked the tip that was sent. I ordered 5 to begin with and will order more as gifts.

The best
I like this so much that in the past I have ordered 5 altogether. I have given 4 as gifts and kept 1 for myself. Not only great product but great website with valuable information and additional products. I love to just browse and maybe find another product to order.

Hot product
These Firesteels are the easiest to use and produce the best sparks of any similar product I have used. Recommend them to anyone interested in quick fire-starting. My wife was able to light tinder without any instruction, and she's a complete novice in the outdoors!
