After 3 unsuccessful attempts with 3 different mag block. I tried this.
This worked great!!!
The scraper does not have to be taken apart from the lanyard to use. After several successful tries. I noticed that the best technique is to hold the scraper still while slowly pulling the flint rod against it. This allows the spark to be directed toward your tinder without you inadvertently knocking the tinder away.
Boys Scout of America sells an even smaller version of this for 1/4 of the price. It does not work as well due to the size but still works well.

Once you scratch the protective coating off the flint you will not believe how much spark this thing puts off. Amazing.

I had a flint and steel kit from my old Boy Scout days (almost 40yrs ago). It contained cotton balls that ignite with one swipe of the steel. Same happens here, but the sparks are about 3x more. I had a lot of fun showing my 10 year old daughter how to start a fire without a lighter. She enjoyed creating the sparks and catching the cotton on fire (in a safe protected concrete area). I highly recommend this product for the outdoor enthusiast, lightweight and waterproof and should last many years.
