I also carry a LMF knife which works great with canister stoves. My cook set and stove usually has yet another lighter for routine use. I began using the LMF recently when spending time in an environment where a wild fire would have been all too easy to start and hugely disastrous. The spark easily ignited the gas stove while also dissipating quickly - safety first!!
I've had my LMF knife for a few years now and I've come to love it. Light, on the small side for a fixed blade, razor sharp, comfortable grip and up to every task I've asked of it, and relatively inexpensive.
I find the ferro rod a little finicky to get in and out of the handle, so I didn't buy one for my son when he was ready for a fixed blade because I was 100% confident that he'd get frustrated with and probably lose it. Without it, the knife isn't as comfortable in-hand. (Even if it's a back-up, I want him to practice with and be comfortable with it before he needs it.)
