FireSteel Bunker

There's a reason there are so many great reviews on these firesteels. I heard about these a while back and wanted to try them and since getting a few and starting fires I have to say I will not be going back to other brands. The bunker is what I'm reviewing but I bought others such as the mini (it fits great in a wallet as does the pup). They're all made out of the same great quality it just depends on the size you want. I like this bunker its pretty big (bigger than the pictures dictate), in conjunction with the scrapper it does great. I highly recommend these firesteels and the service is great as well.

WOW! What else can I say? This thing is a beast. I don't know if I will ever be able to use this one up. With a proper striker this thing throws a shower of sparks the likes of which I have never seen. The hole is perfectly drilled, and fits standard 550 cord perfectly. With the speed of the shipping and the quality of this product, I will become a repeat customer!

This thing is huge! It's make me feel secure if the power ever go out for a long term. I like the fact that there is already a hole for the lanyard so I don't have to do anything to it, or wasted the part that I have to make the handle to it, in this way I can use the whole thing. I would get a few more just in case. Highly recommended.

This baby sparks with delight and vigor. Works best when using the back of a high carbon steel knife but any good striker will work. This is the best I have ever used and going to have a sheath made just to make sure I always have this one with me.EXCELLENT!!!!

At first I had my doubts. It seems that the first few strikes may not work so well maybe because of the coating it initially comes with or maybe it took me a couple learning tries. However, now that I have been using it more, it is throws lots of spark and works very very well. I got the .5" by 5" so I hope to be using this for an extremely long time too. I am very satisfied with my purchase Note from FireSteel.com - our firesteels come with a thin protective coating. Typically it takes a couple of scrapes to remove this coating, after which the sparks will fly!

lots of hot sparks, off the back of my fixed blade knife. It's big, should last a life time.

You could light literally millions of fires with one of the Bunker sized FireSteel.com rods, and still have a few match-sized left. These are must-haves for any survival kit or other outdoor equipment pack you are building.

I bought this with an extra super scraper. This gear is honestly the best I have ever found. Nice camo paracord lanyard, and I am massively happy with this purchase.

I have a few of these fire starters and in my opinion this is my best one. I believe in the KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid) it's nothing fancy but it works like a champ. The extra bulk this has with the length is just what I needed to carry with my Leatherman Surge, combined with the maxpedition sheath and my Fenix light on the other side this system is just what you need for the basics.
