Summary : Great survival item at a great price! As seen on Survivor!
These really work, and this is the best price I have seen. Get several, so you can keep one in your pocket when hiking, your daypack, your purse and your briefcase even.
Order an extra so you can try it out. Some practice is an excellent idea, and at this price, you can afford to get an extra one just to practice with.
Carry one with you, and hopefully we'll never have to see your name and the phrase "...his body was later found" together!

Summary : Hot!
Get it. Works great. Replaced the dog-tag chain with paracord and wrapped it around the file for added grip.

Summary : Great emergency necessity
I bought this to update my personal survival kits. I was looking for something that would be rugged enough to handle actually being used, but also be able to sit for long periods. I am very happy with this as it soothes my mind as I live in an area prone to flooding.

Summary : Excellent value and works great!
I received this today, and it works great. I would suggest using the back (non-serrated) edge of the steel to shave the magnesium and the serrated edge for striking the flint. The magnesium block and flint both have some kind of coating, so the first time you use it it'll take a few extra tries. I've seen these selling for double or triple the price and people were happy to pay it, so this is an excellent deal!

Summary : Works as advertised
This works as advertised for starting fires.
You can create magnesium shavings with a knife or the serrated edge of the striker, or you can use different tinder (dryer lint, Tinder-Quik and WetFire all worked for me without any Mg.)
The flint and striker produce a nice shower of sparks that's easy to get to ingnite your tinder. I believe it would be good for thousands of uses.
