überleben Kräftig Fire Starter - Round Solid Ferro Rod - 1/2 Thick Fire Steel - 20,000+ Strikes, Sparks Up to 5,500F/3000C - Survival Igniter with Shock-Cord Neck Lanyard & Multi-Tool Striker

Compact for the outdoorsman and easy to use it will take some time to get the right spark but its perfect

Hard pass on this.

This thing is big and full of spark should last many years.

High quality, large item that is an asset to any survivalists backpack! Works great!

Arrived in several pieces. Will update once replacement arrives. Really big though and I can definitely see how this might stand up to 20 or 30k uses! Added a picture, hand and marker are in there for scale to show just how large this thing is. Update: Return process was fast and they shipped a replacement out the following day! Great Amazon service. Had some time to play around with this, definitely want a smaller one thats more rugged. I feel like the first time I drop this itll shatter. After scraping off the outer coating, I was easily able to get some nice, long lasting sparks off of this rod.

Oversized and super easy to strike. I keep this one in my glovebox and carry/ wear the ultralight Uberleben Leicht lanyard when out and about in the backcountry. Love these products

I tried this right when I got it. I first just wanted to see how it would spark so I did one strike in the house didnt burn anything but just a heads up tons of sparks. The next day took it outside and started this first in the fire pit. Took one strike to get it lit in the Southern United States. Also I should add I have never been able to use a striker and get a fire going in any condition. So happy with this.

Its a giant fero rod and it creates giant sparks. Not too hard, not too soft, should last a really long time

Definitely big enough to handle easily. Good amount of spark. Great product

Very easy to use high quality excellent spark
