If a firesteel suits you, that's great. Glad you carry one always. No need to pick a fight over it.

For me, in my 30 years of knocking around the great outdoors, the Bics have always served. These days, there may be a firesteel in my pack as a backup. But they're unhandy for everyday tasks IMHO, while the Bics are right at hand. That's my 0.02 view from the trenches. YMMV.
