Yep, I know that it is actually a permanent match which they are just using for a flint striker. It does however generate a lot of sparks for the size.
I've tried filling mine with lighter fluid, but it kept evaporating, even when I replaced the o-ring on the thing. Anyone else have this problem? <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

With the lighter fluid, this thing will light anything. But if you're just using it as a source of sparks, it works well with the supplied tinder.
Never had any problems with it. I even use it to light my alcohol stove......
