So far with the Fireflys I’ve been able to light TWO outdoor grills with corroded igniters (thereby saving TWO summer cookouts) and bewildered one exchange student from China who didn’t think a Swiss Army Knife could start a fire. Plus they came through when I needed to burn old receipts in my driveway so I didn’t have to worry about shredding them. These things need to be standard issue with every SAK.
These are so innovative and practical I can’t believe it took this long to invent them. I have carried a SAK for more than forty years and still carry it daily. Now after the purchase of the Firefly Ferro Rod I feel I’m totally prepared. Will they replace a standard Ferro Rod? No, but this Firefly will be with me everyday, all day. They produce surprisingly hot sparks with little pressure. They seem a little thin and could be prone to break but so far so good. Excellent product and emergency backup.
Hi. I recently bought the firefly. Such an exelent invention. But i found out that it does not fit to the SAK evogrip. It just when in half way. I have to force it to went through. And its hard to took it back out. But it fits nicely to my tinker and my outrider.
Hi, there are a few models like the evogrip that they don’t fit into all the way. Just snip of a bit of the end with wire cutters. This issue is addressed in our “Tips and Tricks” video on our videos page: https://tortoisegear.com/product-video-2/firefly-video/
I have received the ordered fireant :-)) is amazing I recommend it to all ovners of Victorinox pocket knives they must have this miracle 😉

I have waited a while to receive the FireAnt pack that I ordered on Indiegogo early last year but it arrived today! Took a while to get to New Zealand! Very impressed with the size & professional packaging & quality of the items within. I carry a Victorinox “Outrider” as part of my EDC and this awesome product means I can easily carry an additional means of starting fire (which I would need very infrequently but deem important) without any extra bulk in my pockets & negligible weight as well. Great work Tortoise Gear, a great product which I know has been along time coming but very much worth the wait. All the best, Regan.
I ordered the FireAnt for my Swiss Army Knife and was so impressed that I got additional Helix Tinder and the Firefly. I use the FireAnt and orange tinder as my main fire starting items when camping. I now can have a complete fire kit on my knife. I am so glad I found your company. Thanks again for a fantastic product!!!!!
Great small emergency backup ferro rod. About time SAK owners had this option.

Will it fit the Evolution Grip S54?
Yes it will fit all evogrip knives with a quick 5 second trim off of a bit of the end with wire cutters.
Hello! I want to ask when the 3 pack firefly (big size) will be available for re-purchase?
Hi, it is back in stock now!
is this compatible with the SAK huntsman?

What a great idea! Was sent here by Felix Immler on YouTube, who seems to like your product as well! Wishing you the best.

Bonjour je voudrais un paquet de 3 s’il vous plaît
I have 2 questions:
1) DO you ship to New Zealand??
2) What size do I need for a Victorinox Huntsman Swiss Army Knife?
Yes we ship to New Zealand. The regular size fits the Huntsman model.
