Sports reviews of Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter
Customer Review: Works, high shipping cost
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Not much to say that hasn't already been said. If used properly, the product works great. Some tips:
1) Don't cut the bar, scrape into a small pile.
2) Try to use a solid area because the shavings can easily blow away. I actually had the best luck just scraping into a spoon then emptying the shavings into a pile.
3) I used the nail file from my mini-tool which worked better than a blade.
4) Don't strike the flint, scrape the flint to produce sparks. Those folks who broke the flint were probably doing it wrong.
5) Very reliable. I replicated a test I saw on YouTube by dropping the bar in a bowl of water then immediately using it to start a fire. Didn't even dry it off.
The flint by itself, without shavings, is good enough to light cotton balls and dryer lint. The magnesium is great for when you don't have proper tinder.
Downsides:
1) Shipping costs were about 50% of the cost of the tool itself.
2) Flint bar will wear out before the magnesium bar does.
