It works great, I have started several fires with the necklace. My wife thinks it looks very manly on me, a great perk. I highly recommend this product.

Hello guys ! I decided to buy another one after having lost my previous ***** Firecord necklace...but I ordered two of them finally, because I wanted to cut one of them, test how works that sort of firecord that I've never used before. In France I'm used to another cord made with a hemp strand inside. After many attempts in the same conditions and with the same tools (ceramic+little firesteel) of the necklace, I was unable to make burn the red firecord I tried with my usual firecord and I started two fires. So I built a new necklace with the ***** tools and my usual cord (I added on each side of the back of the necklace two ranger bands rolled on the cord, and enfolled the ranger bands into knots of paracord 275 to avoid any skin contact with the rubber -lol-). I'm disappointed since the article was just out of the box. Despite I like ***** stuff, I rate 1 star...why ? It's a necklace, you wear it on yourself all the time just in case...this article is to be considered as a last chance fire tool. If you buy the firecord version and not the leather one, it's because you prefer to already carry the tinder on yourself, not hoping to find it into the Wild. So 5 stars for the leather version (since the ceramic and the stone are good tools, specially for their small size), 1 for the firecord version. Hope this comment will be usefull, that's its only purpose. KR from France :-)

The fire steel and ceramic scraper works without any issues. I've used it to start several fires using cotton balls and petroleum jelly. The problem I ran into was when I wore it to Disney. The paracord itself swelled up from excessive sweat preventing the fire steel from sliding to the other end to use with the scraper. Even after drying the neckless the paracord stayed in a swelled up form. If I ever need to use the fire steel again, I will need to cut it out. Response from *****: Hey Gavin, thanks for the feedback on the necklace. We're happy to get you a replacement so that you can continue to wear the necklace. Just reach out to us via email and we'll get you one.

Have to say that Im impressed with this necklace. Kinda cool looking, comfortable and quite functional. A bit expensive (should be more in the $15 range). Highly recommend though.

Fire brought humans from primal animals to civilisations. With this well-made necklace you can keep a reliable mean to achieve this step on you all day long.

Looks awesome, easy to use and exceptional quality

fits good, looks great, I like the clasp, easy to take off but stays on.

It works and it looks good nuf said
