New FIRE KIT pics

[Grump]

Thanks, Tony. I put a gauge to the flint on my gen 1 and it is indeed 3/8". I just wanted to make sure that the new ones were the same. Now I need to go confirm my order with Kiah. :thumbup:

With a compass in the bottom, that's better than a Red Ryder BB gun!

How long do these strikers last? I've only has experience with one cheaper kmart one the camping section and was not please in the least bit of the longevity. I understand this is quality stuff, but i am curious

They aren't built for longevity, they are built to use in a survival situation where life or death might be decided by fire. With that said, the rods are replaceable and the barrels should last a lifetime.

The RAT firesteel should last quite a while, being a chunk of 3/8" thick misch (sp?) metal.

It comes off relatively quickly but that's what makes them so effective... molten globs of intense heat.

 

[okbohn]

as for longevity--I don't think you will wear it down any too quickly. There are thousands of fires in the kit.
