Flint and Steel Kit

Excellent F&S kit. Comes with lots of jute rope. I placed flint, steel, char cloth and some of the jute in an Altoid tin. Worked perfectly. Neat little piece of history.

The Kit is awesome and works great. We started using them in Traditional Ceremonies. An extra piece of flint would be nice. But the Flint and Steel work great.

Well, it was pretty expensive and the striker is tiny. I haven't had time to try it out yet - but I'll let you know my thoughts once I have.

my two daughters love it!!!

This was my first true flint and steel kit (as opposed to a ferro rod). It took some getting used to, but once I had the technique down, it became a joy to light fires with. It's certainly more satisfying to use than a lighter. I recommend this kit to anyone who loves the outdoors, and especially those with an interest in history or traditional living. 

But what's just as impressive as the product itself is the amazing customer service from the COEC. I used the "ask a question about this product" feature on the website, and received a helpful and informative response in less than five minutes. After a brief and friendly correspondence I ordered the flint and steel kit. It shipped quickly and arrived within the week. This was the first time I had ever ordered from the COEC and I have already made another purchase which was an equally positive experience.

Loved it. Took a bit of practice, but once I got the right motion, fire!!!!!

love this kit - the nostalgia of lighting a fire the way our ancestors did is awesome - delivery was quick without any problems
very happy - thank you

Great product. Ive lit my last 5 fires with this kit and I love it.

This was my first purchase from Canadian Outdoor Equipment and I was extremely impressed with the speed the order was processed. I will certainly be a return customer. As for the Flint and Steel, this is a nice little kit with everything you will need to get started in fire starting with this method. While I thought the steel was a bit small at first, once I used it I realized that other steels I have are maybe a bit big (I wear large size mens gloves for referance). The steel is beautifully designed and has old world charm. The flint rock is also a generous size and should provide hundreds of strikes. All in all a good product that is reasonably priced.
