 Just got one of these. Got one on a sweet deal. I've been popping it off with my kids this afternoon driving my wife nuts. I'm going to snag another one. Any other recommendations for firestarters? 

Also, I'm looking for another EDC folding knife. I've had mine for almost 10 yrs and just want something new. Trying to pick up a couple that won't break the bank so I can give to my kids when they're old enough. Any recommendations?

 That looks great!

I like wax-string, if I'm not using a lighter. You can light it with anything, and it burns well even in less than ideal conditions. It makes for a really great way to catch your sparks from a steel/ferorod and then use it to light your tinder bundle. Even cheap ones work really well.  
 I'll check it out  
 Oh! They sell what I'm talking about: https://www.uberleben.co/products/tindar-wick 
 That’s easy and cheap to make yourself. 
 Yes, if you have the time and materials.  
 Well yeah. 
 I like my Buck. Pretty similar to this one. Nothing fancy. https://www.buckknives.com/product/722-spitfire-knife/?sku=0722BKS1-B 
 I’ve carried a #Spyderco Delica for almost 30’years. Tried others, always came back to this.

 You can get the same and cheaper from AliExpress. Also knives there are some interesting options that are good to test how it feels without breaking the bank.
