A paracord needle perhaps?
1. It will be easier to thread it with a paracord needle.
2. But it is also easy to thread it without the paracord needle, burn the paracord, when the cord is melt, make the end smaller, then it’s easier to thread it.

About product:
These things are compact and spark really well. It is true that you won’t get quite as many sparks as you would with a larger ferro rod, but that is the tradeoff for making them small enough to put these things practically anywhere.

Easy use and easy carry, they produce fire – whenever and wherever you need it.

The flint fire starter was wetted by the rain, after drying also can be used, so it is a backup or emergency survival item to compliment your EDC items.

PLEASE NOTE that due to lighting effects, monitor’s brightness / contrast settings etc, there could be some slight differences in the color tone of the pictures and the actual item!
