When i was a kid i always remember my parents having strike anywhere matches laying around for different uses... Somewhere along the way local stores stopped selling them and i thought that they had quit making them.. I ran across these and thought i'd give them a try... They worked great.... Of course i had to play with them for old time sake. They strike very well on wood, metal and other rough services... I did manage to light afew by using my fingernail but you have to watch or the white tip will chip off... Although theres no point in lighting a match with your fingernail, I just thought i'd do it because i always thought it was cool when i saw old people and people in movies do it.. lol..... These are good matches for all different uses. They're also priced very cheap and a great value... I would def' recommend these...Read full review

I cannot say to or not to buy these matches. They do work, just not as well as we thought they would. Definitely not strike anywhere and yes, we are being reasonable about where we were trying. For me, the price is high at over 3.00/box for the quality of our successes in getting them to light anywhere. We will keep testing them out though. If there is a "learning curve" I will post as such. I don't hate these, but I probably wouldn't by them again. They do work EVERY time on the box striking pad though, that's why this isn't a total loss.

These matches are so nice to have at the camp ground. I only gave four stars because the match heads are smaller than normal, but they do strike anywhere on the first strike in most cases. Great for lighting gas grills, lanterns, hand warmers, gas water heaters, and gas stoves.

These are very good quality strike anywhere matches. To be as accurate as possible, I can’t say these matches are at the “strike anywhere” level, but with practice I could light them on most surfaces that had some level of roughness. It’s really cool when you can light them on your jeans. That took some practice, but it’s possible.

Strike anywhere matches are great and dependable for outdoor use. Does not require just a box strike surface. Will ignite on just about any rough surface or with the scratch of your thumb nail. Can remember using the leg of Levi Blue Jeans. I know I can count on these matches to light every time.
