Andrew –
The hacksaw blade is a stroke of genius
I’ve owned many of these kinds of fire starters over the years, and this one is the only one I’ve ever seen that comes with a striker included. Not having to worry about your knife having a 90 degree edge (or even having a knife) to strike the ferro rod is nice. The striker is a small section of hacksaw blade, which is useful for both striking the rod, but also scraping shavings from the magnesium block. If you want to go for a magnesium firestarter in your kit, this definitely appears to be a good choice to rely on.
