Annoying if you run out of flint. Give me a firesteel any day.

I have one ( a firesteel and luvs it - actually one of those macpac generic orange ones, and it is daBomb!...), but.... how long does the flint last, does it work in rain, pros/cons vs firesteel etc.. that's my query

I doubt it would work in rain. Regular lighters don't work with a wet spark wheel, and is precisely the reason I no longer bother carrying them.

Ive got a solid titanium fire piston, but ive never seen a ti gadget like that.

I like it! Surely it must have the facility to house a bunch of spare flints ie. Zippo flints?

However i really cannot see it throwing sparks even remotely as well as a quality fire steel.

OK... googled it, bout 20bux on ebay and youtube:
