On a side note, I was never able to get a strike on box match to light on the inside of the stopper. I was occasionally able to light it on the aggressive knurling on the outside of the case, but
with only about a 60% success rate. That is when I upgraded to the longer case and now use the REI matches. Great piece of kit....
Strike on the Box....means they only light on the box striker....they should not be able to light on the inside of the stopper or on the knurling.
REI matches will not strike on anything other than the supplied striker pad also.
Strike Anywhere matches can be lit on the inside of the stopper or the knurling...particularily the brass case knurling.
Strike on the Box matches are essentially two-part matches. The striker chemical plus the match head chemical are BOTH required to ignite the match.
Strike Anywhere matches have all the necessary chemicals to friction ignite Anywhere....which I am guessing is why they are so named
