Hey, I am a new member, but I thought I would through my two cents into the pile.

I have tried a lot of flint and steel fire starters from the Blast Match to the Boy Scout Flint and Steel, but the one that I have found to work the best was given to me in Bridgport California at the Marine Corps survival school. It is made by Wilderness Survival Institute and the model is the P-60. It throws the largest and longest shower of sparks of any firestarter I have seen. It has a flint striker and a magnesium bar, which is almost warn out on mine. Besides the Marine Corps the only place I have seen it is on the manufacturers website.

Anyways, just thought I would bring it to your attention.

Thanks,

Josh
