KonvoySGCarbon Steel Fire Striker, English Flint Stone & Char Cloth Traditional Hand Forged Fire Starter, Leather Gift Kit with Emergency Tinder Jute Bag

Received my kit today and immediately tried it out. It sparked very well and I had made fire fairly quickly, no success on my other tinder but within a few seconds with the charcloth - which is what I'd anticipated. Overall great product, overall satisfactory.The only negative I found is that the flint split really - really easily. I wasn't striking very hard, and going at an angle that caused the most sparks with minimal effort and my flint just about halved in two in my hand. I actually ended up with a splinter in my thumb from it. The chunk that came off might be useable on it's own, and the remaining part still functions albeit less comfortable to hold because of the reduced size. Not sure if this is something that will affect everyone, and being a natural resource it's impossible to predict that this will happen.In spite of the splitting stone (again, natural material) I am still giving this product a 5 star review. It functions precisely as it is supposed to and the leather pouch (with belt loop!) is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend this product and may go so far as to gift it to my outdoors-ey friends.

Well made, everything works, fits big hands and throws a good spark. The flint and steel are big! I was expecting a smaller size but I was very impressed.

I love the pouch and the striker but i dont really like the flimt rock or what ever the rock is but for some reason i get a better spark with the black flint rock i dont know if its the way im striking but over all i love every thing else but im steal going to work with the rock so if any one know a easer way to make spark easer with it please let me know

I am SO DARN excited and happy! Just received my KONVOYSG FIRE STEEL KIT and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Opened it like I was a kid opening presents on Christmas Eve and couldn’t be happier with it!!I love the Carrying Case! The piece of Flint is huge and the Carbon Steel makes getting a spark so easy! Lit my char cloth on my first try.... and second and third...😋. This is SO FUN!! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and would definitely encourage anyone to order one if interested!!

This came super quickly and was package quite nicely. The flint is large and will last for some time. The steel is well made and smoothed for comfort. The leather pouch is perfect for it and will be on my belt anytime I head into the woods. Cannot recommend this highly enough

As a scout leader, I feel it is necessary to always be well prepared and have experience with different tools. When people see the uniform they expect a leader with experience both with various tools and outdoor techniques. For many years I have been following that mindset. With that in mind, I have been acquiring a multitude of steel strikers, flint, ferrocerium rods, waterproof matches, and any other useful method I see for starting fires while camping. Given my experience, I am able to make recommendations to scouts and other new leaders on what equipment is good to buy and what brand of equipment to stay away from.Have mentioned the above, here is my conclusion:Leather pouch - a very nice setup with quality leather and plenty of room for the kit. I did not try attaching to my belt yet.Included flint piece - Very large nice piece. I usually carry a smaller piece to conserve more space, but this one was a nice size for this leather pouch.Char cloth canister is very small and does have a screw-on lid, so it shouldn't pop open. It is a bit too small to make char cloth, so you better save your Altoid cans for making fresh char cloth.Burlap bag looks nice, but I didn't try anything with it. My main concern was the performance of the steel striker.Steel Striker -- This is a complete failure. While the fit is nice, the steel temper is way too soft and I am unable to make a single spark with this steel striker. I tried about 7 different pieces of flint and the same result with all of them. I can switch to another steel striker I have, and immediately have multiple sparks with little effort with every piece of flint.I will wait to see if I receive a response about this from the company, otherwise, I will return the product.

This is a great product, it fits in your hand very well and protects your knuckles. The striking surface is very thick and will build hundreds if not thousands of fires. The striker alone is worth the price, it looks had made by a real craftsman. It easily make good sparks.The pouch, flint and char are a nice touch so you can play with it immediately. The char is very good, usually catching the spark on the first or second strike.ThanksMark

Although the pouch was nice, the contents had much to be desired in my opinion. The flint was too small - I kept hitting my fingers - and the rest were just adequate. I do not believe they are worth the money, but my grandson love it. I will pick up a larger piece of flint so not to hit fingers instead of stone.
