I stopped by my local harbor freight after work and they don't carry these. Was thinking about ordering a few online, after shipping its still a pretty decent deal.

Thats a great deal. I found some exactly like that for $4.99 each, so I got one, I guess its cheaper because of shipping fee's.

FYI, the easiest way to get shavings from magnesium isn't to scrape it with a sharp edge, but to use the metal file on your multi-tool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yep - took me a very dull edge on a spyderco endura before I learned that lesson the first time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I ordered a few but haven't received them. I did get a postcard from harbor Freight letting me know that they got my order. It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm starting to get a little peeved.
