The Tortoise Gear Firefly is tailor-made to replace the toothpick in a Victorinox Swiss Army knife (SAK) or tool. A perfect EDC fire starter, the Firefly is a firesteel, which will produce sparks when struck against the back of a knife.

Glow in the dark top.
Custom sparking material twice as easy to spark as a typical firesteel / ferrocerium.
140% stronger than typical firesteel / ferrocerium.
Soft sparking steel, so it is less brittle and can be easily used with any sharp edged stainless tool on the Swiss Army Knife.
Comes in neon green-yellow glow and classic ivory glow.

Very expensive

Posted by Roger on 26th Aug 2024

The rods work well and fit the Victorinox scales well. The problem is the cost which is too high for the product.

head came off

Posted by Unknown on 31st May 2024

Great firestarter, yeah it's super thin but it works just fine as long as you are careful and follow the instructions (strike along narrow side only - not along broad side, stabilize with index finger etc.) Out of the 3pack 1 came with the glow in the dark head already shattered, so maybe it was a transport damage, or the plastic is a bit brittle, but without the head you cant put it in a swiss army knife, or rather you could'nt retrieve it anymore, which beats the hole point of the thing Still I'm not going to send it back, 2 go in my swiss army knives as intended and the one without head just lives in one of my fire kits as a backup because the ferrocerium obviously still works

Firefly 3

The firefly 3 certainly sparks very well. I haven't tested it with the available tinder. It also fits snugly into my "handyman" knife.

Brilliant back up ferro rod

Posted by Kevin Hodgson on 16th Feb 2024

A tiny backup ferro rod which is always at hand whenever you're carrying your victorinox SAK. Provided you check out the instruction and videos on how to correctly use it, this tiny ferro rod WILL light decent tinder like fatwood shavings. Use the back of the wood saw and pull the firefly towards you on the NARROW side. This technique is so good, I plan on using it with my normal ferro rods as well. And of course this is also an excellent backup for lighting gas stoves. I'm not sure I'd be happy to use the even smaller fire ant, but the firefly is surprisingly good.

Don't fit rangergrip SAK

Posted by Rob on 14th Feb 2024

The first one I tried got stuck and the tip broke off. I had to cut a piece of the next one to make it fit. As getting it through customs cost me an extra 11 euros, I'm afraid I'm not happy with this purchase

Great bit of kit.

Posted by Tony S on 23rd Dec 2023

Great idea perfectly executed. Does the job and completes the SAK.

Firefly

Posted by Nigel Trigg on 8th Dec 2023

Works well to cause a spark as long as you support the back of it whilst striking.
