I purchased this for some friends who are novice woodsmen.. this is a basic kit that still throws decent Sparks to ignite char-cloth.
It's a good beginners steel kit.

Good value flint and steel set
Very good set for the price. Flint had nice sharp edges and created sparks easily. Steel will last a life time. Sparked easy with flint and mahogany obsidian. Lampwick easily catches sparks and is a great addition to the kit.

Works great!
Great little kid, nice compact size, fits in your pocket very easily and works flawlessly!!! One of my favorite ways to start a campfire.
