I actually wrote an e-mail to Victorinox a couple of years ago, suggesting that they make a flint strip available as a replacement for the toothpick (which most people lose, and which IMO is useless). They wrote back saying that several other people had suggested this (so we're not alone) and they had considered it but didn't think it was commercially viable, or some such.<br><br>So yes, it's been suggested, and yes, they've considered it, but no, they're not going to do it. :-(<br><br>Does anyone have any idea where I could get a flint rod that would fit in the toothpick slot of a SAK anyway? Or would it be too brittle to be functional? (The toothpick is a metal rod, about 3/32" in diameter and a bit over 2" long.)<br><br>
