Tortoise Gear Firefly Regular 3 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives (Neon Green-Yellow Glow)

This is a perfect way to add a Ferro rod to your Swiss army knife. Just swap out the toothpick, and you are good to go. Will only fit on the mid size or larger models (81mm +) but you want them that size for outdoors use anyway. And you will probably want a corkscrew model because you can get the fire starter kindling that fits into the corkscrew as well. Look for a Huntsman, a Trekker or similar Swiss army knife. The wood saw will make an excellent striker for these rods. Just remember that they are brittle and always strike on the narrow edges. Very reliable way to start a camp fire, with a little bit of practice.

It’s great quality for what it is, a better than nothing option when you need it. I would not use it regularly because it is brittle but definitely happy with it over a tooth pick. You have to hold it and strike it properly per the instructions or it will break. I broke one of three and that was my fault but I still made a fire using the broken piece. Just know that it wouldn’t hold up as regular use item but it definitely beats a tooth pick any day.

This is cool and it works. I removed the toothpick and replaced it with this fire starter. Fits perfect with my Victorinox Woodsmans and pocket knife. Easy to use. Thin side up. Practice with it before you really have to use it. I like the neon green color.

Ordered these by mistake. My fault. After struggling to get the mini’s (they would arrive taken out of the package as a single and each time broken because of it (thanks Etsy). I measured the toothpick and broke off the extra length. While it’s a tight fit, they do fit, and the extra little piece of nylon grip that sticks out, helps to pull it out of the knife pocket. Perfect for backpacking.

It definitely works well and as advertised. If it is not working for you, read the directions a couple of times, and watch YouTube videos. You should definitely practice; you have enough of them available. For me, it was not working very well; then I changed my technique, and it worked very well. For those breaking them, you are applying unnecessary force. Little force is needed if you find the right technique. Practice! I seriously hate the price. Was going to give a lower rating based on that. But it is what it is until they get cloned.
