Something's missing...
The steel that comes with the firesteel is stainless and does not yield a good spark, the sparking is unreliable, the lanyard is too small to be worn around the neck and to large for the wrist. The lanyard also makes the using of the firesteel extremely awkward. The only positive about this was the hidden waterproof compartment in the base of the firesteel.

Poor quality control
Got it yesterday & the two halves will not fit together. I will return it today & go for the simple magnesium & flint model at about 1/3rd the price.

Reliable
Picked this up in store, have not had to use it in an emergency yet, but I feel comfortable that I could if need be. Playing with it in the fire pit I got a good spark off it consistently and I've never had an easier time starting a fire with out a match or lighter. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that the tool can get bent with rough usage and it's already becoming difficult to fit it into it's case.
