Bought as an additional set. I really like the idea of a metal box with all the components inside. Brilliant. If you're in a hurry, you don't have to remember to take this and that and that and this, just grab the Helikon tin - and inside is a complete set. The firestarter itself may not be as good as Lightmyfire, but it works. You have to scrape off a bit of the surface layer from the rod at first, but after that it gets much better. I really like this set and it probably won't be my last.

A great product. You have everything you need for fire starting at hand. The box perfectly complements the whole set. Plus, it's a Polish brand. Highly recommended.
-
This is another purchase of this set. I was satisfied with the first one, I taught my friends to start fires with it, and in the end I gave it to one of them. Such a set should be in every backpack.
-
The size is small but it produces sparks easily. However, less experienced users might have a slight problem. The box is a nice option—always a little kindling in reserve.
-
The set is ok for me. It is small but produces sparks without any problem. Less experienced users may have some difficulty striking sparks, but practice makes perfect. The box is an extra plus. You can keep a small reserve of kindling in it.
-
Nice little box with a fire starter and tinder. The downside is the striker, which does not produce sparks very well. On the plus side, the whole set is compact. The tinder lights a fire well.
-
The metal strip is poor—it produces sparks very weakly; the rod is OK, the fuel gives a large flame, about 15 minutes of burning, practically odorless and smokeless, too bad there are only 2 blocks; the box is OK, quite stylish, but overall because of that strip and compared to other options—only 3 stars.
-
The set is very functional and comes in perfectly adapted packaging. I completed it with a lighter and extra cotton pads. The fire starter is really high quality. I recommend it with a clear conscience.
-
This fire starter makes sparks very well, better than the Mil-Tec due to the size of the box. Advantages: waterproof, has tinder, fuel, and a survival tin :)
-
Nice box with fire starter and tinder, it's a pity there's no rubber band on the lid to make it waterproof. Still, for this price you can't complain.
-
The little kit is very nice. You can squeeze in some small items for starting a fire.
-
Small handy kit for the car or an expedition backpack.
-
Charming little set, the tin had an issue with the latch, but it was quickly fixed (just a matter of bending the wire inside). It will definitely come in handy outdoors.

Nice set

Useful item, worth having in your backpack just in case. It once saved my skin. I recommend it!
