As effective and durable as the LMF Army firesteel but so much cheaper and with no postage cost.
I've been using the Polymath Spitfire kit since they first became available and I've enjoyed using the kit so much that I've gone through several tinder refill sets but despite being durable as well as working so well, my ferro rod is now becoming very worn, so it was great to see these available to refresh the kit. Either as replacements for well used ones or just bought to put in your own kit these are extremely effective rod and striker sets. They produce big showers of hot sparks that easily ignite any suitable tinder, including jute twine, wood shavings, birch bark, coconut fibre, and many others. From repeated practical use in a wide variety of environments, I have found these to be as effective as the LMF Army firesteel, but less than half of the price of the cheapest I've found of those, and with no postage cost. And as a pair with a pound off the price of each, that's a great buy.Do yourself a favour, buy the good stuff from Polymath; it is all top quality and much cheaper than the alternatives.

Seems very decent.
I like the fact this is a chunkier one and hopefully more capable of being useful long-term if ever everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

Value for money
The fire steel is a great size for in your pocket and even with the small size ut can through a lot of sparks the only down side is the Stryker it is not very good at making sparks but is you have a bottle of coke you can certainly open it.
