bayite 1/2 x 6 Inch Survival Drilled Flint Steel Fire Starter Ferrocerium Rod Kit with Striker-Pro Striker Paracord Landyard Handle Large

Awesome ferro rod! Yes, it’s a little softer than some but that’s exactly why it throws tons of flaming globs of fury! Seriously... they’re not sparks... this thing literally throws a shower of mini fireballs which is fantastic for getting tinder to ignite (but be careful or you’ll end up burning tiny holes in your clothes). The cost for all this awesomeness is the rod will wear down fast (due in part to the very effective striker), but since it’s so inexpensive just get a backup or two. And like any ferro rod, make sure to practice with it.

Best buy for a rod of this size and with a paracord lanyard

Great product. Awesome after-sale customer service.

There I would buy a smaller version. These are on point!!!

Really beafy, should start fires for me for the rest of my life.

Great product. Shipped on time. For the price, you get a whole lot of ferro rod. Probably the best one Ive seen yet. The only reason its not a 5 star is the tiny little striker. It works just fine, mind you... but could be bigger for easier holding and also to throw more sparks. I havent had any problems yet, but I I foresee this flimsy lil thing not lasting long. That said, if you dont have a good knife for a striker, you should get one anyway. All in all, great product!

Works crazy good. Throws a lot of sparks.

Tired of those skinny ferro rods that break after a few strikes? This one is awesome. Made a few fires with it already and it shows almost know sign of wear. I use the back of my pocket knife and it sends a huge shower of sparks every time! The attached striker is handy though and works very well. Prepare your dry pile correctly and you should be able to get a flame in just one or two strikes!

At 6x 1/2 this Ferro rod is a macker! I like the Hole & Paracord because Ive had little luck with handles that are glued to the rods. If reliability is what you are looking for, You can Rely on the glue to fail and the handle to fall off 90% of the time. Ill fashion a small handle out of duct tape(works great as tinder) and maybe a couple feet of ss wire(snare etc,)and give my firesteel more than one function.

Do not forget to take coating off the side you will be striking. By far the best bayite ferro rod I have used.
