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. Review: Surprisingly good - 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. Review: Tortoise Gear Firefly ferro for SAK,outstanding ! - 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? ## Features - Direct plug and play firesteel fire starter replacement for the toothpick in Victorinox brand Swiss Army knives and tools - Superior quality flint formula - Easy to spark, twice the break strength, makes big sparks, easy on knife tools - Glow-in-the-dark top - comes in a bright neon green-yellow color or classic ivory - Two Sizes - Regular Firefly (replaces 50mm slanted top toothpicks) / Firefly Mini (replaces 45mm flat top toothpicks) - Ultralight & compact fire starter perfect for EDC (Every Day Carry) use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B092WTJ3R1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #221,147 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #222 in Fire Starters | | Brand | Tortoise Gear | | Brand Name | Tortoise Gear | | Color | 50/50 Color Mix | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 203 Reviews | | Folded Size | Compact | | Included Components | Fire Starter, Knife | | Item Weight | 0.02 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tortoise Gear | | Manufacturer Part Number | FRFLYV8 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 month warranty against manufacturing defects | | Material | Metal, Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Metal, Stainless Steel | | Model Number | FRFLYV8 | | Number of Pieces | 8 | | UPC | 850029353065 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tortoise Gear - **Color:** 50/50 Color Mix - **Included Components:** Fire Starter, Knife - **Item Weight:** 0.02 Kilograms - **Material:** Metal, Stainless Steel ## Images ![Tortoise Gear Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ravn0JdBL.jpg) ![Tortoise Gear Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pW0hNsMNS.jpg) ![Tortoise Gear Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61o1Jz-yRaL.jpg) ![Tortoise Gear Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611eCN-iN5L.jpg) ![Tortoise Gear Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SnghwULtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good *by J***N on July 9, 2024* 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.

A toothpick you can make with the knife, a ferro rod is a resource for fire, so who needs a toothpick? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well - but use care *by A***8 on September 19, 2019* Have used these a few years - they work!! Throws a good spark for fire starting or lighting a grill (be careful). I’ve found the size slots on the SAK knives are not precise for toothpicks and tweezers. In order to get a reliable fit adjustment has been needed (clipping length or grinding down edge). I have several SAKs and this product is in each one - I chose to eliminate the tweezers. These fire sticks are brittle and can break easily - either the head can come off from repeated removal and insertion in the knife - or during use to throw sparks - if not reinforced with a finger the stick can break. Definately use a scraper or knife with a squared corner - carbon steel works best. ## Frequently Bought Together - Firefly Variety 8 Pack - Fire Starter Accessory for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives - Tortoise Gear Helix Tinder for FireAnt and Firefly Fire Starters - Tinder for Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Corkscrew - FireAnt 6 Pack - Fire Starter and Tinder System for Swiss Army Victorinox Knives (Variety - 2 of Each) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/321160976-tortoise-gear-firefly-variety-8-pack-fire-starter-accessory-swiss](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/321160976-tortoise-gear-firefly-variety-8-pack-fire-starter-accessory-swiss) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
