No loss, you can use them as intended. We've all looked at, or tried these.

You have gained a big lesson: We all have fireMAKING tools but
our fire FUELS are often left to the mercy of the situation trying to kill us.

My SPARLITE is my #1 firemaking tool. It comes with small tabs of tinder. That is step #2 you don't get with $1 lighters.

Step #3 for me is a handfull of 'Fatwood' some wag sells as 'Maya Dust' and the free chopsticks I seem to need 8-12 sets of at the chinese fast food.

I have this split billet of oak seasoning on my porch for the past year. I think I'll drill a hole in a chunk and glue a MORA blade into the center.

Then nobody will give me grief for packing yet another 5lb backup knife.

In fact, I expect when word hits the internet 8 knifemakers will come out with versions and claim to have thought of it first.
