SOG Flint Multi-Tool

The SOG Flint uses a ferrocerium rod integrated into the tool's body. You simply strike the rod against the provided steel edge to create sparks, which can then be directed into your tinder to ignite a flame.

The carbide-tipped glass breaker is designed specifically for tempered automotive glass, which is what you will find on the side windows of most vehicles. It is not intended for use on laminated windshields or household glass.

Yes, the integrated whistle is designed to produce a high-frequency, piercing sound that carries well over distances. It is a reliable signaling device for emergency situations, though it should be tested in a safe area first so you understand how much breath pressure is required.
