Wonder if they got any instock?

I can get them for $4.99 out the door. I guess with shipping they come out to about that much...still a good price.

Anyone tried these? How well do they work?
They work great,better than a fire steel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

worst conditions i ever successfully started a fire in, i used a mag block. don't need cotton balls, vaseline, fire sticks, or whatever else have you. they're enough on their own. they're more fun than a lighter, too. you don't leave civilization to take it with you.

I hated the mag blocks the first time I used them - I was trying to shave off the metal with a Spyderco Endura.


Later, I went back and tried again with the file on my Gerber Legend multitool. and what a difference. Great, easy way to start a fire first time.

HF just had those same blocks on sale this past weekend at the local outlet. 5 for 5 bucks. I bought $20.00 worth for gifts but I noticed on the one I kept for myself that they weren't made quite the same as the ones you get from Bass Pro or Wal-Mart.
Still, for the price you can't go wrong.

Thats a heck of a bargan Recon1, at $1.00 each you can't go wrong at that price.
