I bought that one from: http://www.magflintfirestarter.com/

They have a few different models. I think the one I have on the keyring is called the Scout 10NH (for "no handle"). I've had a couple different ones over the years, but, this one's been good since 2004 on the ring. (I looked up the order cause I was curious how long it had been)

I don't know if they are the same or not. If they are, good deal! Only thing I have noticed is that with the fero/mag rods, you can actually have quite a quality difference between them. Some of the ferro rods don't seem to throw sparks as well, others have had a tendency to fall off (they are glued into a channel cut into the magnesium.) I have found these ones from Mag-flint take a beating, and throw a ton of sparks. YMMV

Oh, yeah. The pentatonic minor blues scale. Another survival tool I can't live without!

OK, here's mine:

iPhone & earphones (in belt case)
Hokin' bunch of keys on keyring (Left front pants pocket)
Wallet & comb (Left rear pocket)
"Toolkit" - Leatherman Squirt S4, Arc AAA-P LED, P-38 can opener, BSA Hotspark, small REI poll fob with pills and cotton, all on a small carabiner (Right front pocket)
Bic Cricket lighter (Right front pocket)
Anglican Rosary (Right front pocket)
Service "Dog Tags", blank dog tag polished to mirror shine, small whistle, $20 sandwiched between dog tag and mirror with rubber keeper (around neck)

Leatherman Wave, PSK, ziploc bags and 10' of parachord are in my journal / portable office (I did a post about that a while ago - try doing a search for Cliff's Neat-o EDC, or something like that).

Hope this helps.
