It costs a bit, but it’s worth it. A very solid product. Both the firestarter itself and the striker plate deserve praise; it’s not an unnecessary extra, but something that really lets you strike sparks. At the moment I don’t see a better firestarter; it’s simply awesome. Another plus is the color scheme. In my opinion, this can’t be lost — it’s impossible to lose something in such an intense orange color. Practical and visible. And very important. A POLISH PRODUCT.

Flint designed to generate an abundant shower of sparks. Provides reliable fire-starting capability, making it a valuable tool not just for camping and outdoor adventures, but also for handling emergency scenarios.

The best fire starter. It throws a powerful shower of sparks thanks to the excellent striker, which is also angled so that when striking it rests against the ground instead of smothering the flame. I don’t recommend the green color, it’s very easy to lose it in the grass ; )
-
It's a bit pricey, but worth it. A very solid product. Both the fire starter itself and the striker deserve praise, as the striker is not an unnecessary accessory but really allows you to generate sparks. Another plus is the color. You could probably only lose something in such an intense orange color in early autumn. Practical and visible.

At the moment, I don't see a better fire starter, this one is simply amazing! The shower of sparks is huge, the rod is massive, and the scraper has very good, sharp edges which make it so effective. I definitely recommend a bright color because it's very easy to lose a fire starter in the grass, and it would be a shame to lose it.
-
People say it’s the best fire starter on the market—and I believe them. A thick, solid rod of the right length and, above all: a great scraper. I appreciate its reliability and the fact that it takes up very little space in your gear.

Mega fire starter. It does its job. The thick rod of the fire starter will last for many trips. Lighting a fire with this fire starter is now a breeze. I specifically chose a light color. I went with orange. In case you lose it in the forest, it will always be easier to find.
-
The fire starter is very nice. It generates a lot of sparks, which is more than enough to ignite the material. This is already my second fire starter, so I am very satisfied. I recommend it!
-
Expensive, but made in Poland and...an amazing fire starter. Probably the best I've had, even kids use it willingly and quickly. And finally a striker that doesn't need to be replaced with a knife, fantastic. Also, it was made by a Pole for Poles, which is extremely important these days. I recommend it.

I have started fires with many firesteels, but this firesteel is simply first-class, a big solid rod, and above all, this striker—I don't know what they did, but it's amazingly made, and they deserve great applause. With this firesteel, you can be sure to light a fire even if you're a beginner. I recommend it to everyone, it's definitely worth it.

People say it's the best fire starter on the market - and I believe them. Thick, solid rod of the right length and above all: a great scraper. I don't understand why most manufacturers neglect this issue and don't make such a scraper - this one is brilliant.
-
Someone recommended it somewhere on YouTube, but I wasn't convinced. Only after I got my hands on it during training as part of wGotowości did I decide that I should have one myself. Long enough rod that doesn't make you struggle with the striker to get sparks, while not destroying what you've scraped off the bark. One of the best on the market, really worth it.
-
Great, large, solid fire starter. It produces a powerful shower of sparks, and its advantages are the large striker plate and the big, comfortable handle for holding the fire starter. The bright orange color means you’re unlikely to lose it in the forest.
-
This is already the second one I’ve bought. The orange color makes it easy to spot, it throws off solid sparks, and the price seems reasonable to me. The only downside is the slightly too short lanyard, although it can easily be extended yourself.
-
The Orange Za-Pas fire starter is another version of an interesting product from a Polish manufacturer. High build quality and practicality – sparks are produced quickly and effectively. A great striker/scraper. I highly recommend it.
-
A splendid fire starter.. The rod size is yummy.. a big solid fire starter .. The scraper is simply world-class.. the guys/manufacturers understood that this is the second, equally important and fundamental element of a fire starter! Full respect.
