Firefly - The Ultimate Swiss Army Knife Accessory
on: December 23, 2017, 04:14:32 PM
Found this on the internet. It is a Kickstarter project. Sounds very promising.
What do you think???

"What is the Firefly?
The Firefly is a custom sparking-steel fire starting tool designed to work seamlessly with a large variety of Swiss Army knives. 
The Firefly is tailor made to replace the toothpick in a Swiss Army knife or tool, it is plug-and-play, and no knife modifications are required.
Disclaimer:  We want to make it abundantly clear to everyone that we are not affiliated with or endorsed in any way by Victorinox AG or their trademarked name Swiss Army.  The Firefly is a patent pending aftermarket accessory designed by us for use with the Swiss Army knife."

It's a smart idea if it works. But...this is the same video I saw on another full that was longer and showed more material being ignited. Unfortunately, after watching the other video that this is but a small snippet of, it's fake. There's an accelerant on the material that is instantly igniting. It's more visible in the clip where he's igniting a crumpled up paper towel and the whole towel goes up in a flash.

Even on this vid, you watch close and the instant the tool is sparked theres a very fast  over flash of ignition of some kind of light acceltetn like starting either or something. I've used firesteels, and I've never seen such instant flash of flame like that. Looks very fake and staged to me. Just my .02 cents.

Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

 :oops:
Totally missed it...
I was switching between forums, and I searched on the wrong forum (EDC), and than I thought it wasn't on MTO, so I posted it here. :facepalm:
