## Overview

The FireAnt 3 Pack is a patented, ultra-compact fire starter system designed exclusively for Victorinox Swiss Army Knives with corkscrews.

Weighing only 1 gram, it fits perfectly into your knife, ensuring you’re always ready to ignite a fire—rain or shine, day or night.

## Description

The FireAnt is a patented fire starting tool that fits into the corkscrew of Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. Paired with the included Helix Tinder these make a complete and 100% waterproof fire starting system. A true life saving tool! One FireAnt can last for several hundred fires when used with Helix Tinder. Helix Tinder Helix Tinder is a patent pending wax impregnated waterproof fiber tinder that integrates with the FireAnt into the corkscrew. Each Helix Tinder can be cut or pulled apart and used for multiple fires. Glow in the Dark: The FireAnt glows in the dark to help you locate your knife at night. 100% Waterproof: The FireAnt and Helix Tinder are 100% waterproof and have been tested to work even after being submerged in water for over 4 months! *The FireAnt fits into all modern Victorinox Swiss Army knives, but may not fit into older grooved style corkscrews.

Review: Fits other knife close enough - While not intended for every knife it ha]ens to fit the Gerber Armbar cork. As it wasn't intentional for this knife the fero-rod doesn't screw in all the way. The plastic threaded part could be sanded down a little to fit easy enough so the cork screw can completely fold to its rest position.
Review: Love these things - If you carry a Swiss Army Knife that has a corkscrew these are a must, in my humble opinion. I use shrink tube around them to keep the fire wick from breaking apart in my pocket/pack which is a terrific solution.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know of another way to light it without a saw? Eventually I'll own the Huntsman but the Explorer lacks the saw.**
A: All you need is a good sharp 90 degree edge to scrape slivers of ferocium off a rod to create sparks. Carbon steel works best.

**Q: This company isnt affiliated with Victorinox rt???**
A: I do not believe so, but the product fits perfectly with the victorinox knives! And it works well for what it is!

**Q: How long does each kindling burn?**
A: I'm not one for whipping out a stopwatch and going viral etc.  I will say this...if you are in dire straights, has potential to burn long enough to get you out.  If y'all just want a cup of coffee, break some off (fluff it up) and use sparingly.  You tube Jon gadget and his take on these.  G'luck, stay safe & never stop learning!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hot!
*by J***O on October 12, 2022*

My wife said the spark in our marriage is gone. I figured why not have the ability to make sparks wherever I am by adding this to my EDC swiss army knife. Now things are so hot they are being set on fire.
