Firesteel quality ???

As you specify the black handle, what are the green handled ones. I thought I had bought a Light My Fire Swedish Army model, but it has a green handle.

A brief search around seems to show they come as either the Scout model (red handle) or black handle (Army model).

To answer myself, it looks as if the green handled ones are a "cadet" model, which are the same quality as the army model but with a reduced number of strikes (3000 compared to 12000). Probably explained on the Light My Fire web site, but I can only find reseller pages.

Yeh. I'm not familiar with the green handled model, only the red (Scout) and the black (Swedish Army).

I have read this thread with interest and need to review what I have at Scouts and whether I need to buy new ones to help with scouts success rate.

The LMF firesteel are available in different colours and even a wooden handled version look here
