| 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful  Does work if not in a hurry, By Picturesque Music (In the sky) - See all my reviews This review is from: Coghlan's 1005 Flint Striker (Lawn & Patio)  Attached you'll see this Coghlan's Flint Striker 1) VERY EASILY starting some fresh dryer lint. Man, that stuff burns. Took two strikes here. When I tried earlier it was one. 2) Less easily but still confidently starting some dry paper towel folded over twice. Took a dozen (?) attempts, similar to when I was camping recently--approx same number of strikes required. 3) Not in the video, but confirmed on two occasions now, this striker will catch a pile of _dry_ pine needles. There are thick pine needles and there are fine. You want the finest possible and as dry as possible. This past weekend using just fine pine needles and wood shavings I got a fire going from scratch. I will say it took probably fifty strikes or more. Not easy, but does work in a pinch. What you also can't see in this video is that the strike tool is now decently gouged in the middle, so it looks like a slight bow from the side. Also, it's flatter now. When...

The Super Scraper is thicker and has a sharper edge and this makes a whole lot of difference. When I strike my Coghlan flint with the Super Scraper I get the same amount of sparks as I do when I strike it on the Firesteel.com flint. Therefore, it's not the flint but the striker that make the difference. The opposite side of the sharpen edge of the blade of my Spyderco pocket knife has as similar thick right angle as the Super Scraper and it gives me a similar spark as the Super Scraper. However, the Super Scraper is lighter and attaches to my flint with a lanyard. Ditch the scrapers that come from the Colghan, Light My Fire, etc. and either get the Super...

I've never used these before. Either the other reviewers are not scraping off this layer or they have a defective item. I read all the reviews of all the other ones and went with this one to go into my survival kit for it's price and effectiveness. |
