A number of years ago I was practicing with a plastic Spark-Lite and I dropped it in the fire. It was totaled. I'm wondering if I did the same with the aluminum or brass Spark-Lite, would it fare any better? It stands to reason that the handle would survive but what about the rest of it?

There's something else I've wondered about. The aluminum and brass Spark-Lites have the replaceable flint. Does replacing the flint really extend the life of the Spark-Lite?
