Brunton Striker
With the long-wearing Firesteel of the Brunton Striker Fire Starter, a hot shower of sparks is never far from hand. The Striker's ignition steel and a stainless striker replace less-dependable methods of firestarting, so you'll always have a way to start a warming, cooking, or signal fire, even if you took a dunk in the river. Firesteel is good for thousands of uses, but we hope you don't have to bring it out that much.
Bottom Line: Forget matches, lighters and flint—you have Firesteel.

You can see the sawtooth V cut in the side of the striker. I have used this striker extensively all summer with no failure.
Crutial Design Flaw

The steel works as it should, it throws sparks and (after some time) gets a fire started. However, the striker; which is different than the one pictured above is of poor design. The one I received has a 'V' cut in the end of it to scrape the steel with, as well as a 'stepped' 'V' shape on the side of the striker, intended to "rough up" the steel so that more sparks can be thrown.
My striker (this is the first trip I took it on) failed the second time trying to use it to start a fire. It broke right at the top of the 'V' on the side which resulted in having very little to work with in terms of being able to throw a spark using it.
Half of this equation works, but the other half sucks. If this product was the same as the one pictured, than I'm sure there would be no issue with it.
Here's a picture of what's left of the striker, sorry for the quality... it's from my cellphone.
Change me.
