SOG Flint 4.3" Survival & Defense Portable Compact Tool for Outdoors and Emergencies | Includes Glass Breaker and Whistle

Haven’t had to use the glass breaker part in a real life situation, just on empty bottles. It works, the whistle is nice and used to wrangle my nieces and nephews or play with them. It’s nice and sturdy, has a great feel. It is small and can be lost. Overall a nice addition to your EDC

First, it is indeed tiny BUT thats exactly what makes it great to have as EDC item. As it is a small volume whistle, one must blow forcefully to get good volume. This, a AAA flashlight, and a small neck knife make a great "Trinity" to have on at all times. Any larger and heavier just reduces chances on one having it available-I'd rather have a small glass breaker immediately when riding with others than a huge full sized one sitting unavailable to me in my vehicle.

Good product

I am going to keep this and put it in a go-bag, but I am not convinced it is entirely useful.The whistle is very high pitched and will not carry all that far and definitely not as loud as other emergency whistles I have blown. Also, it is a metal whistle so unsuited for very cold weather, unless you want it stuck to your lips.The ferro rod is pretty small, and so is the stash of tinder, but I think I could definitely start a fire with this. The tinder, a small piece of steel wool, is good for one use. The rod will last for a bunch of fires, but it is pretty thin. Interestingly, it is threaded. I don't know if I could find a replacement, but it is replaceable, which is always nice.In any case, I'll toss this into a kit that I hope to never need, and I may not see it again.

A little smaller than I expected. The glass breaking features seams limited. The item is very light weight. Not sure it would be effective. But, it is compact and is easy to carry and pack. Being new it is very tight and difficult, at first, to separate. Cautiously recommended.

I have not had the problems others have written about. Doesn't come apart in my pocket, and the ring is solid and has not come apart. Two of the three screw in compartments are sealed with an o-ring. The fire starter produces significant spark and it comes with the steel wool tinder, but I will replace that as steel wool attracts moisture and rust. I will put a small ball of cotton soaked in 100 percent petroleum jelly as that is an awesome tinder and it does not attract moisture. The whistle is not really very effective, but will alert dogs. I have another whistle I carry constantly, so that wasn't a deal breaker for me. I have not tried the glass breaker, but feel it will work well. I will try it out next time I see a junked car. It would work as a self defense tool if you know how to wield it, which most people don't. Fits compact into the hand and is easily concealable.

SOG is a great company. I trust everything they make at this point of owning so many of their products. This is another great self defense tool for anyone. I got this for my wife for her walks. The whistle is great, but I’m writing about the tactical steel and its unbreakable power. Plus the fire starting ability for camping or emergency situations. I have tried to get my wife and daughters to carry small knives and kubatons.... but it’s tough because of the size and the focus of their walks or.... This is also great for the glove compartment of a car or in the purse/case. It’s loud whistling capability is also great in places with people around and in the night at a camp site.

Great quality product and compact in size. The whistle isn't very loud but the size and durability makes up for that. The flint is great and works perfectly so far. Perfect for throwing in a day pack and heading for a hike or overnight camping trip.

Praktisches kleines Multitool

nice handy tool to have on hand - small but still very useful, high quality

Tamaño muy portátil, discreto y muy funcional para el EDC.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Arrived early and is a great product. Small enough that it fits nicely in my first aid/ survival kit. The flint is great

Cómo multiherramienta para EDC resulta útil, ya que complementa muy bien las funciones que tienen la mayoría de multiherramientas o de navajas suizas. Como contra es que las herramientas son pequeñas, el silbato no es muy ruidoso, y el pedernal es pequeño, la punta para romper vidrios no he podido probarla, pero espero tener la oportunidad de hacerlo
