FireSteel Miniature

Awesome size for sticking in a paracord stealth and integrating it into a paracord bracelet or tactical belt

Shipping is wicked FAST!

We are an outdoor education non-profit group and are using these as part of a fund raising project. THey work great and are compact and easy to carry.

We purchased these to put into small survival tins for our children. We have went to great lengths to teach them how to use them properly and they are extremely good for those small kits!

I've carried a miniature ferrocerium rod wrapped in a cotton ball and masking tape in my wallet for years. It has been quite handy several times. When I recently bought a GobSpark Armageddon, I went ahead and got several FireSteel miniatures to give to new Boy Scouts when they joined our Troop, so they could add it to their "10 Essentials" pack. I was so impressed with how much better they were than the one I'd been carrying, that I replaced my old one with a new one. It's GREAT!

For the size of this firesteel, it still does a surprizingly great job! It's in my altoid tin kit. They fit really well. You could even go up a size or two and still fit well.

I am a repeat customer and have had very good success with these small firesteels. I use the three small sizes to attach to wood to make them almost unbreakable. When attached to a striker with a thong, every thing you need to start the fire is together. I also wrap them under the paracord handles on some of my knives for emergencies and have a striker notch on the butt of the knife to keep from ruining the cutting edge.

Super fast shipping, excellent product

I gave the smaller FireSteel a 4 but NOT because I'm dissatisfied with it. I'm a 1/2 x 4" FireSteel "Junkie!" I am sending my Ethan Becker BK-2, BK-9, and BK-11 knives to a machine shop to have the topside of the tangs machined to inlay / industrially bond the smaller FireSteels to them as a permanent "last best option"for Survival Firecrafting. The knives are ALWAYS with me so I'm spending a little more to insure that a fast, dependable means of starting an unplanned survival campfire will always be with me as well. I will submit a photo of the finished product to FireSteel.com for anyone that might be interested in it.
