Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
Overall it is a great deal for the price. It throws good sparks. The construction feels solid and feels good in the hand.
Cons:
It is a bit bulky for a fire steel and i had to take a few minutes with some sand paper as the knurling was to aggressive.
Other:
First thing to do is replace the ball chain with paracord and add an o-ring to make it water tight. Also had to add some petrolium jelly to the threads.
Bottomline:
I am very happy with this product. With the few minor mods mentioned above it has become an essential in my outdoor kit.
