Your cart is empty. Firefly adds firepower to your Swiss Army knife!
Firefly is a firesteel flint type fire starter tool accessory replacement for the Swiss Army knife toothpick. Designed and manufactured by Tortoise Gear for use in Victorinox brand knives.
Regular size Firefly replaces 50mm slanted top toothpicks for use in Victorinox knives 84mm and larger.
Firefly Mini size replaces the 45mm flat top toothpicks for use in smaller 58mm keychain type Victorinox knives.
The Firefly is made from a superior custom ferrocerium misch-metal formula giving it many advantages. The softer custom metals mix provides greater flexibility making it less brittle and giving it double the break strength of a typical firesteel or ferrocerium formula. The softer metals formula also allows for bigger sparks without harming the relatively soft stainless steel metal tools of Swiss Army knives. The Firefly mix sparks very easily with very little pressure needed during the strike.
Every Firefly comes with a glow-in-the-dark top. When charged in sunlight this provides up to 12 hours of glow to help find your knife or Firefly at night. Two color choices are available: Neon green-yellow glow, and classic ivory glow.
Firefly products come in high quality packaging with fully illustrated instructions for use printed on the inside. The re-closable clam shell can be used to store removed toothpicks and extra Fireflys.
Firefly products are backed by a 1 month manufacturer warranty against any manufacturing defects.

People keep asking about the toothpick on the Swiss army knife. I guess they are so bothered by the thought of a toothpick on a knife, they can't eat or sleep. This product just replaces the toothpick with a ferro rod which should be more useful and quell some of the criticism.

I figured this was probably just another hyped up gimmick that wouldn't be worth the cost, but decided to give it a try anyway. As long as you hold the little flat rod as directed, it works surprisingly well. If you have decent tinder such as cotton, good fatwood shavings or the fluff from a cottonwood tree, it will start a fire for you quickly and easily. Obviously, it would probably work effortlessly with most manmade tinders as well.

I was so excited about these. Pulled one out of the pack and the first strike it broke! So now I have 3 of 4 long ones left. I still think they are a benefit to Swiss Army knives, but to break on one of them the first strike was very disappointing.

Tested one out yesterday to start a wood stove going. I got it to ignite a pile of dry spruce shavings. Seems to throw hot sparks. It took quite a few tries but I admit I was trying to start a pile of spruce shavings. Had I mixed in scrapped birch bark or old man's beard it would have gone faster. Still was a lot of the rod left when I was done. I put one in a tooth pick slot and another in the tweezer slot. Got 2 in there now. Great idea, nice useful product.

All I can say is,”It’s about time!”These are great, work good but they are delicate.Pay attention to the instructions and keep the rod supported with your finger while striking.Takes Swiss Army Knives to a new level of usefulness! I’ve started my fire pit a couple times now, with it. With good tinder it’s a breeze!A toothpick you can make with the knife, a ferro rod is a resource for fire, so who needs a toothpick?
