Fire starting

Pilot,

Yes I used the SAK as a striker and it works great. I also found the tweezers useful for pulling out the Vaseline covered cotton balls that I have stuffed inside the kit.

I'm going to attach one to my RAT firestarter like you did. It never hurts to have a seperate striker plus I just don't want to dull my RC-5 blade on it. However, in a pinch I would certainly use any knife. I also need to get a little container for some cotton balls. All are going into the pouch on the RC-5 sheath.

Thanks for the tips!
 
Between the two choices I'd choose the LMF firesteel. I have the army model attached to the sheath of one of my knife sheaths, a standard model attached to another. I'm even more a fan of the magnesium black with the striker attached to it. There are few different models available, go to ebay and type in "magnesium fire starter."
