Side by Side Comparison of: SE vs Leknes

I took this camping this weekend. Didn't think I'd use it but had to after I'd lost my Bic lighter. scraped some of the magnesium into a little pile, put my tinder on top, added sparks and presto! The magnesium burned a lot longer than I thought, which was great because I had to add more tinder--I'm no expert in survival so I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was. Seriously, this thing saved my bacon. Plus, I got to look like a pro in front of my boys, and had plenty to brag about when I got home!

It's a well known fact that you must proclaim, "I have made fire!" every time you make fire with this little doo-dad. It's so easy to use. I almost prefer it to matches when making a fire. It kind of gives me the caveman feel every time I strike and blow to get the kindling started up. Then sit back and relax and enjoy the roaring blaze of a fire you created with your own two hands. Just don't start a forest fire. Don't be that guy.

Bought this, along with a few other items, for my boyfriends bug out bag. This is super high quality and would definitely suffice for the potential situation where you'd be stuck in the woods without fire. We haven't used it yet, because we're saving it for emergency use only, but we've used similar products that were not as high quality as this and they worked great, so I have no worries about its effectiveness.

The flint and striker rod are fine and work as I would have hoped. It comes with this odd little green scraper which can be used to remove flint but I couldn't get it to generate a spark until the green coating had rubbed off. I usually use a knife with these (back of the knife for spark) so the scraper is of little use. However, it may be helpful to some. Just be aware the coating will have to be rubbed away before you can get a spark.

Reliable product to have in your "Get Away Bag".....I finally got to 'test' it this past weekend. Had a very windy day and first lit a waxed cotton tinder stick. 2 scrapes and the sparks ignited the cotton with no problem. I then made a small wind break and spent a few minutes shaving off a pile of magnesium 'dust'... Had some very dry grass and very small kindling close by... So easy to make the sparks fly with the scraper and when the spark hit the 'dust' pile it was like lighting a firecracker fuse...Immediately added the dried grass and very small kindling and small fire started in no time. I was\am impressed with how well and easy this worked. I just ordered another to keep in car

Hmmm, these have been around for YEARS for a reason. If you don't have one, buy one. I keep one in every camping gear setup, Bug Out Bag, etc for a reason. Magnesium burns. It burns HOT. They take up very little space and are PRICELESS if you find yourself in need of fire for warmth and/or cooking in an emergency. They are issued in different configurations, around the globe to military and survivalist school folks. Back to the burn. Magnesium commences burning at 883 degrees and can burn as hot as 5600 degrees Fahrenheit! For that reason, you can light combustibles (like wood chips, shavings, tinder) WET or DRY pretty quickly. I've used it in winds, rain, snow, as well as "normal" weather. It doesn't fail. If you have good technique and discipline to do with this mag stick, you'll have fire shortly.

I got this for someone as a gift and was actually really impressed with the contents when he opened it. The compass keychain alone is really nice. I would say this is definitely worth the money, unlike a lot of other ones out there, and I would buy this again because of the quality and collection of items.

Great

Everything looks of decent quality and the bag that holds all the supplies is the perfect size, not too big or too small! Can't wait to give it to my brother who just recently moved to Colorado and had been doing a lot of hiking and climbing.

Everything included as shown. Very practical and a must have for a prepper, survival, or camping pack. The black carry bag is very small and i suggest you add it to a bigger bag. Very nice product.

Bought for my nephew and he loves it. He's a Boy Scout and his daddy is in the Coast Guard. My brother was pretty impressed with the quality and ordered his own to carry in his truck. That's a military stamp of approval, if you ask me. Lol.

This turned out to be better than I expected. I received it quickly & all items are good quality. Well worth the price! I would definitely buy from seller again, as well as recommend this product to others.

I can't believe I can start a fire...I feel so...EMPOWERED! It actually worked. I wanted to put this in my 'go bag', but didn't feel comfortable unless I actually knew I could make it work. Ta-da! I used a cotton ball smothered in vaseline, which sounded like a good, cheap, easy fire starter -- it is. I threw a few of those and this in the kit and I'm confident that I can get a fire started anytime the need arises.

I thought this might appeal to my husbands hero complex - he dreams of saving me from bad guys with big swords and guns. What do you get for Christmas for the travelling hero who has everything including a full sized machete clipped to his belt?A fire starter!He loved it and wore it around his neck for a while. It now lives permanently in his backpack in case we ever happen to find ourselves turfed off a long haul bus and into the wilderness. Or perhaps if there is a zombie apocalypse and we feel like a quick BBQ.It was cheap and with our half hearted testing we think it will work to light a fire with a little effort, luckily up until now we have had lighters and matches so that we don't have to use it all up.

This product does what I need, and work like it's intended. I have not idea what brand it is. Mine says DOAN but I think it's a nockoff. I'm not worried about it, and here's why...I have never been lost in the woods (not really lost, not in any danger of not finding my way out). I've never been unintentionally stuck in the woods. I've slept outside many times- alone, in small groups and in large groups. I've been cold, I've been wet, board, scared. I don't like any of those things. If I ever got lost, hurt or stuck in the woods, there are a lot of things I'd like to have, like a fully charged cellphone, GPS, SatPhone, video game, a bunch of friends, etc. But, if I got lost, the one thing I can't imagine doing without is a fire. I've been cold, wet, board and scared enough times to know that a fire buys your warmth and comfort. It buys you comfort. It let's help find you. It can help you make water safe to drink. Never mind about making inedible food edibile, if you are so inclined.If I'm soaking wet and cold, and I can't get inside fast on my own, I want fire. If I'm really soaked, my Zippo won't light, maybe my matches won't light, maybe I don't have or can't find dry tinder fast enought (go out in some wet snow and forage for tinder you can light with a spark, it's tough and I'm not good enough at it).If I'm out in the woods, the one thing I always carry is a medium-size knife (KaBar Becker BK2)with some cord wrapped around the sheath, a firesteel, a waterproof bundle of tinder and now this firestarter on their own pieces of cord, looped securely around the sheath. I want to make sure I can start a fire. My swedish firesteel with strike a spark when wet, my tinder will probably stay dry (I've checked), but magnisium will catch from a spark and burn even if it's soaked. With that, I can get fire from kindling and wood.I got this firesteel, it was painted, and the markings were painted on, and not stamped. I don't know who made it, but all I worried about was whether it was Magnisium. I have a redundent firesteel already, that I can use either when I need to, or for fun when I can to strike a spark. This thing has a ferro rod that also strikes sparks, and seems to be adequately secured, so think it's OK. I don't know if the body is magnisum, but I do know it is some kind of metal that catches a spark and burns hot and long enough to light kindling or wood with a little prep. I'm good.If you don't know how it works, you scrape off pile of magnisium with a knife or sharp edge, (maybe a hacksaw blade but I'd get bored) Everyone says a pile as big around as a quarter. Pile the shavings on your kindling or any tinder you have and scrape, solid forceful scrape, in one direction on the ferro rod to get a spark. Aim the spark at the shavings and repeat.I recommend you try it to make sure the metal really burns and to make sure you know how to use it.

I know that no one will like this review but I feel like I have to say it. The instructions for this are scrape off a small pile of magnesium with the serrated edge of the striker and then use the smooth side to spark the pile on the flint bar on top into a fire. Sounds good until you realize that you just consumed a good chunk of your magnesium in that one usage. Should you need to use this for more than a few days you'll be screwed. If you give someone an inch of magnesium and 1/8th inch of flint and tell them to scrape off a chunk of the Mg to start a fire you are just telling them to use the thing up that much faster! This will only last a few dozen uses. But I guess china needs more of our money so they give us cheap junk that breaks or runs out fast (mine literally just has the word magnesium and china stamped into it). Dont believe me? Search youtube for "How to use magnesium emergency fire starter in a survival situation" you'll see how much the guy on there uses to get a fire going. Me personally I can get a fire going just using flint and steel so I dont need the magnesium but its nice to have it. But if you follow the instructions to the letter you'll run out of this in a month of daily use... not good if youre in a SHTF scenario and cant replace it.edit: I suppose I could just get a big piece of flint and use my ka-bar to strike it and all of that but like I said its nice to have the magnesium just in case.

The magnesium is great, but the flint rod in it is pretty lame. Since it's so easy, I simply put a small flint rod (with an actual striker) on the chain that attaches the magnesium bar to the scraper and my problems are solved, also the increased length of my other flint rod's wrist lanyard provides for more ease in getting a lot of sparks going on anyways.It's so small, I carry this product (magnesium bar and scraper), with my separate (and better) flint (and a scraper for the flint), in my pant's pocket with some other stuff every day.For those that do not know how to use magnesium and flint to start a fire:1. use the scraper to form a small pile of magnesium shavings a. the common rule of thumb is to make it about the size of a quarter b. it WILL take a while to form that much shavings2. strike flint to make sparks into the pile a. it will only last for about a second or so b. have your kindling ready to put in the flames before you strike the flintfor more information on how to start a fire with magnesium and flint (or even just flint (aka firesteel)) look it up on youtubeMAKE SURE TO PRACTICE USING THIS METHOD OF MAKING FIRE BEFORE YOU DEPEND ON IT!It's a bit harder than it sounds, but after you get it down, it's a very excellent method.

UPDATED(3-28-2011) - SEE UPDATE SECTION AT END:I tried this magnesium fire starting tool - SE(Emergency Fire Starter - SE - Emergency Fire Starter) out as well as the alternative from (from Doan Machinery & Equipment - "Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter" Genuine Issue Magnesium Survival Fire Starter).Both tools work perfectly fine as described and were able to light up fine fibers(cotton, moss, dried grass) and paper without a problem. The Doan tool has more precise instructions and clearly states on the packaging to scrape the magnesium portion of the bar with a knife blade PERPENDICULAR to the edge of the tool. I found this to method made for the most shavings and larger shavings at that. The packaging clearly states that you want a QUARTER(U.S. Coin) sized amount (just shy of 1 inch or 2.4cm diameter) Then holding the bar at 45 degree angle to the pile of shavings drag the knife along the flint to create sparks. The directions remind you to hold the blade perpendicular to the bar while "striking" the flint. I would advise not to strike the flint as they are brittle. However, a nice quick full length drag of the blade down the flint creates a shower of sparks for easy ignition of the magnesium shavings.Both brands work fine. They are nearly identical in shape(the SE is a few mm longer). Each brand has a different finish/coating on the bar itself is about the only difference I can tell. The performance seemed to be identical or at least close enough to not notice anything to complain about. The big difference is the price. The SE(made in China) is about half the price of the Doan(Made in USA - Patented). It appears to me that they are both the same design with slightly different execution of it, and one is just made overseas so that is why it's cheaper(unless there is less active "ingredients"(magnesium).One other note: The SE(Chinese one) also comes with a saw blade striker that does work but you need to wear through a protective layer of lacquer for it to work and it's just small enough to annoy my large hands. I just stick with a cheap staineless steel pocket knife for this. I always carry about 3-4 blades when I'm out hiking(cheap folder that I don't care if it gets ruined, sometimes a higher quality folder, always a fixed blade that is larger with full tang, and usually a multi tool(leatherman).You can't go wrong with either tool. I'd prefer to buy American(Doan - the "other" one) in the long run though, especially for something I might end up having my life depend on.EDIT: One last note on product life- depending on how much magnesium you need to get your fire going each time, I think the flint will run out long before you ever use up all the magnesium.UPDATED: 03-28-2011There have been a ton of reviews mentioning that the DOAN tool being purchased is no longer made in USA or shipped as a knock off. Be careful which seller you buy from. I will be posting pictures later today that show the SE Tool side by side with the Doan tool. I no longer have the packaging to show what they look like however.The seller I purchased the DOAN GENUINE ISSUE from was known as "CLASSICAL FITNESS & HEALTH" / "Waterglider LLC". They no longer have it stocked apparently.A GENUINE DOAN FIRE STARTER SHOULD HAVE THIS INFORMATION STAMPED ON ONE SIDE WITH AN ADDRESS ON THE OTHER.

Pretty cool kit. The only thing I didn't like was the material of the bag. For being a survival kit you'd think it would be a little tougher material. Everything else is great though!

Added this to my bug-out bag and everything seemed reasonably good for the price paid.

good kit for the money

My 16 yr old son loved this as a christmas gift . I only wish it came with some kind of organized tackle box to present it to him to him better.and keep safer in his hiking bag.

Lots of items in this little pouch, luckily haven't had to use them yet though.

I liked the product, nice packaging, however, the deduction was due to the fact that I did not get any fishing hooks in the package at all.

The magnesium bar portion works well in producing material that will easily ignite but I cant get the flint to produce a spark no matter what I do. I'll carry the device to use the magnesium but I purchased a different flint device that works.

I will start with the fact that it does work. I have started a few fires with it. What is a serious drawback is if you are using it in the wind. The shavings go everywhere and it is hard to get a big enough pile to start the tinder. If you fell in water and were cold and shaking this would be a major problem. Getting all the shavings in a pile and getting tinder and then sparking it takes time and you need your hands to be working well to operate the scraping and striking. If I had my choice I would go with a box of dry matches. Which I won't have if I fell in the water but you get the point.

I got this to bring on camping trips, but will probably just end up using a lighter.First, I watched some fire starting videos on Youtube and then followed the directions provided, scraping a nice pile of magnesium shavings onto a piece of paper. I didn't intend to start a real fire, but just see if I could light the shavings. I tried many different angles, speed, and pressures, but could coax only the smallest of sparks from the ferro rod on the side. I even tried switching hands (I'm a lefty), but still got very few, very small sparks.From what I've read now, it probably would have been better to go with a fire steel (something like the "Light My Fire" one http://www.amazon.com/Light-Fire-Original-Swedish-FireSteel/dp/B0013L2DKU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1400708971&sr=1-1&keywords=fire+steel)--they seem to make much bigger, hotter sparks, and more easily.

Although I really enjoyed the idea of starting a fire using magnesium and flint It is actually quiet a pain. If you're outside the wind is blowing constantly so your smaller shavings blow away. You can *try* and block then wind but it's not easy. The little saw that hangs off the starter is worthless, only good for cutting yourself so you end up needing a knife to shave off the magnesium. Then you have to find a way to strike the sparks down into the pile of shavings without accidentally bumping anything and spilling the magnesium. In a true survival situation you can't afford to waste time with things like that. My emergency fire starting kit is now a sealed pack of lighters and a bottle of lighter fluid. It might not be very imaginative but no one is going to freeze to death while I struggle to get a fire started.All that said, you are burning metal! It's awesome factor is the reason I give it 3 stars instead of 2.

I bought 3 of these for gifts.This magnesium is VERY hard and comes off as tiny metal filings when I used the little hacksaw blade what was included. The tiny filings did not want to light with the included flint. I could get the filings to burn a little if I light them with my STRIKEFORCE flint.When I used a knife to shave the magnesium it came off in small shavings instead of small filings. I was able to light the shavings with the included flint.IN CONCLUSION: A knife creates SHAVINGS which are bigger and in my opinion better than the FILINGS produced by the included hacksaw blade. My StrikeForce flint was the only flint that was able to light the filings. A STRIKEFORCE flint is awesome and makes this magnesium usable especially if you use a knife to get the larger SHAVINGS. The included flint and striker was NOT impressive. The included striker does produce some sparks, but I would hate to depend on it to get a fire going in the best of conditions.I feel my rating of 3 stars is generous.

After purchasing this item for my Go Bag I saw a video on YouTube about this particular product that demonstrated an absolute failure to ignite. I knew then that I needed to give this firestarter a try.I first used the striker/scraper to scrape off shavings. This was difficult as the bar is rather hard but then again I have nothing to compare it to so I cannot say if this was different from the military issue version. I did find that a knife was able to scrape off shavings much better than the attached tool. Note: Care should be taken as there is definitely a possibility for serious injury when doing this. I scraped off a pile of shavings with no expectation that they would light. I then used the attached scraper/striker to scrape against the flint on the side of the bar. After getting through the protective coating and getting a spark I was amazed to see that the scrapings burst into flame with explosive force. The shavings ignited like rocket fuel.All I can say is that there might be a quality control problem with the Chinese manufacturer (big surprise) however the item I purchased worked as expected. If you purchase this firestarter test it immediately.One final note: Do not expect this type of firestarter to work in any wind that will blow the shavings away. Buy a torch lighter for that occasion.

I must have gotten the last one in the warehouse, since I got two chain pull-saws and no multicard.

OK for the money. Low quality

Everything was as expected, except for the flashlight that was broken and the missing survival bracelet. Other then that love the multi tool and mosquito net.

Not what I expected. But it is okay, so many small tools and stuff.

Was a little upset the fire starter bracelet wasnt in there

The contents of the kit are great but the velvet bag that it comes in labeled "survival kit" is pretty cheesy and I will not be giving the bag as a gift- had to literally go and buy something else to put the kit in.

Unfortunately, I hated this little setup. I'll admit that I am not the most experienced with starting fires this way, but I would have died in the woods if I was depending on starting a fire with this! I understand the "get what you pay for" aspect with this being pretty cheap, but nonetheless I found it to be useless. Been an active camper/backpacker for much of my life, but I could not get this to light after working up a serious sweat. The kindling I was attempting to light was super dry, but the sparks this item produces are so minimal that it didn't help.

This is the cheapest fire rod out there, so I can't really complain too much. It's thin, but still sparks well. The included saw blade/edge doesn't spark as well as the Gerber fire starter edge. With a knife it should spark fine. I feel the edge you spark with is more important than the fire rod itself.The gerber fire starter sparks well, thicker rod, but too short of length. The case takes up some space, but you can include some other stuff inside it.I've settled on a 1/2" fire rod from bayite, 6" long. It's solid and sparks well. Other than losing it, I'll never need another.

I purchased this item with others I was buying from amazon. 10 in total. was super stoked at the price. and I figured I would give them away as gifts to friends and family. The product itself Is nice and not too cheaply made.I was highly upset when I realized that even tho I purchased 10 from the same seller they still charged me aside from the listed price (about $5 EACH) another $5 EACH in shipping cost!!!! FOOL MOVE ON MY PART. If I hadn't been making such a large purchase from amazon I would have seen this problem sooner. Guess I should have been more careful. And not assumed that shipping would be combined. MY fault. although I felt the way It was listed at the hime was Misleading! NOT VERY HAPPY!If your looking to buy only one! its great. but in bulk.....NOT SO MUCH.

I love fire steels, and I have at least a dozen of various sizes. I almost always use them instead of matches. However, the magnesium bar is very difficult to use. First, you need a significant pile of shavings, which takes a lot of work, then you have to be VERRRRRY careful not to bump the pile or it will fly all over the place and you have to start over.If you buy this, be sure and have a supply of alternative tinder (such as cotton balls rubbed with vasoline). They are so much easier to use than the magnesium.Just a thought, since magnesium does burn very hot and can be effective for igniting damp materials . . . there are places where you can buy bags of magnesium shavings, enough to package up quite a few single-use packs. Then all you have to do is make the spark with the fire steel. Much easier than scraping away on your magnesium bar to get a pile of shavings.

I bought this on a whim; under $5, familiar design, (similar to the Doan mag bar, which I originally thought I was buying.) I wasn't disappointed that this "SE" unit is made in China, and not by Doan, but I should have simply made sure I was buying the genuine article.I planned to leave it in my emergency trunk bag. While it works nearly as well as the USA-made Doan, my unit came covered in some kind of hard, clear glue. When they attached the ferro rod "flint," the manufacturer used far to much adhesive, totally occluding it. To make the unit workable I had to spend nearly an hour with a very sharp Mora knife to peel and chip away the glue. Now it works fine, but I should've ponied up the extra $3 for the USA-made Doan. (Firesteel.com also has a great USA-made mag & ferro bar for about $6, plus s/h.)On the plus side, with that work done, it functions just fine, and includes a scraper, unlike the Doan. Like all mag bars, it is very lightweight. But overall, it's not worth saving a couple bucks to spend an hour of labor, for me anyway, (and I'm not wealthy, lazy or incapable of DIY!)Lesson learned: make sure you just buy a Doan firestarter, and save yourself some time and hassle!

The product is exactly what is shown in the picture and as far as I can tell from what I see and smell it is magneseum, but after several strikes, really hard from various angles, I have yet to get a visible spark. Now this may be attributable to my "survivor-man" skills and my inexperience with a striker type firestarter, but this is a fact: No Sparks. I can clash together two of my metal hand tools or a hammer and nail and get a spark, but not this thing. I will look up YouTube Videos on how to use this thing because after striking it it shows real wear and so it cannot be returned as an unused product and since it's low cost it is not worth the trouble. Don't recomend unless you have very specific experience and skills doing this with this type striker fire starter.

Very disappointed in quality here. I get that you get what you pay for but this kit is got all the right stuff just most is super low quality. You could do better even at this price point!

Overall this kit is cool. It has neat features, but the thermometer in my kit doesn't work. Everything seems kind of cheap. I don't think it's worth 25 dollars.

Missing and broken items

Not heavy duty

Poorly packaged. Don't like the fact that it comes in a black velvet bag. Had to find some actual cases to put the whole kit in once unpacked everything in its contents.

The flashlight/whistle is a joke. The whistle doesn't work and the only way to turn the light on/off is to screw/unscrew the cap, not very practical. Carabiners are very small, keychain sized. The bracelet is nice but will not be wearable for a large person. The fishing kit appears to be OK. Probably better off to buy emergency items separately and make your own kit.

We received the kit, and the steel was actually a broken piece of a hacksaw blade. The larger part had a thin cylindrical shaft glued to it. The shaft was the flint. It was tough to scratch the magnesium with the broken hacksaw blade, and thee "magnesium" never burned from the sparks. Then the flint fell off a few days later,and it became totally worthless. Don't waste your money.

This this sucks. I shaved off a big pile just to mess around and test this out. I must have hit the striker 100 times and nothing was catching. I took a lighter to the shavings, and even with the lighter it would not start a fire. It is total crap and a waste of money. If you want one buy it from Bass Pro Shop or REI I know the ones they sell work like a charm

Don't waste your time on this item, I only got it to save on shipping as an Add On item. Very low quality, I'm skilled in Wilderness Survival and have used Mag Rods for many years. This is very cheap, the chain that it comes with would serve you better. I tried for 20 minutes to get a spark going and to no avail did I get more than a couple tiny ones. You'd be better off using it as a weapon to throw it at someone. Do your self a favor and buy a real one. I'd not let this thing be something I'd rely on.

Don't waste your money. Buy a Doan instead. I couldn't get the "magnesium" to light with a lighter much less sparks. The last thing you need is junk like this when you don't have a lighter or matches. I thought these were all created equal until I couldn't get this to work. After research I found that there really is a difference. There are some nice YouTube videos showing the differences. This is the one I bought after chucking this one in the garbage: http://www.amazon.com/Doan-Magnesium-Fire-Starter-Tool/dp/B0079SEGO2

I bought this starter for an emergency kit and thank God I tested it before I assumed it would work as well as magnesium starters I'd used in the past. This thing could have left me exhausted without a fire when I needed one.Not all magnesium starters are the same. This one is a cheap Chinese made alloy that is hard to scrape, which takes more time and energy, and the shavings do not catch a spark very easily, or burn very well. The flint in addition does not make much spark.Buy a genuine product with soft magnesium and a good flint/scraper: MagSlab Magnesium Fire Starter OR Gobspark Firesteel with Super Scraper, Lanyard, and Red HandleIt may save your life, or at least save you 5 minutes of struggle to do something that should take 30 seconds.

I can't say for sure but based on the picture I am pretty sure I got a knock off. The one I received did not have a logo stamped onthe side and did not work the way those who gave high marks said it would. Pretty sure I would need a chisel to knock off enoughmagnesium to start a fire. The flimsey serrated blade is not match for what someone passed off as magnesium. Good thing 12/21/12 did not meet the end if the world expectations.

Didn't expect a survival bag to be made out of felt. Does not pass survival or logic test.

Could have put this kit together for under $10.

Not even close to being worth $24, I don't know what I was thinking buying this. The flashlight/whistle is equal to what you might get as a giveaway keychain light, the fishing line is really too big (lb. test) to be used for "survival" off the bank fishing, tested the cord saw on a small bush and broke on 10th back and forth pull. The quality of most of the items is somewhat like what you see on the counter at a convenient store/gas station. I strongly recommend buying your own parts and making your own kit for less.

Waste of money for what it is.

Just received my Kit. It's Missing the Fire starter bracelet . Regardless of how good everything else may appear. It is incomplete. That is why I am giving it 1 star. I have email Leknes. I will see how long it will take for them to correct this problem. Send me the missing item.
