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

excellent

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.

We bought this for our outdoor adventures. We tried it in the backyard and it was very easy to use and well made!

Ease of use

I purchased the 8 model. Actually a great size, as I struggled with those smaller models. You get a great grip and a very long striking surface. This thing will throw sparks with the provided tool with ease, sorry to see others struggle with theirs. For me, I actually have to be careful as the sparks fly pretty far. I start fires with ease with this. This compliments my magnesium bar and both have a permanent spot in my pack.

This is the best ferocerium rod out there. Its my go to out in the mountains. Its a little heavy at 6 oz. and it has an added bonus because it has a wood scraper and striker on the cord too. I highly recommend this product!

Easy to use

My husband wanted this after using a cheaper version that didnt work well. This one never fails.

This ferro rod is what it says it is, started 3 camp fires with it twice with the supplied striker within 10 strikes but the third fire it just wouldnt light after about 30 or so strikes. I just bought a new morakniv knife and one clean strike she was lit! Buy it enjoy it!

Super long fire starter. Works.
