Everyone told me the same thing MD so when I ordered flints a long time ago, I ordered me some of the French Amber flints. They had an impressive long spark to them, but I really don't think they lasted any longer then a Black English Flint. Are finding a longer life in them?

Also being double the price of a Thomas Fuller Black English Flint, and never really having trouble with the spark from a Tom Fuller, I kind of figured you're getting twice the flint for the same price.

But again the five of them I purchased did throw a nice long spark, and seemed to work perfect in my Lyman Trade Rifle.
