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

Good quality. Easy to use (just have to get the knack of it and scrape off the outer coating) but not as pictured because I didnt pay attention and ordered the 5 instead of the 8 You would have to be under water to not be able to get the sparks off the 5 one but come on size matters :) I wish I noticed the size drop down on the order page. Also the 5 one is a perfect cylinder not tapered like the photo of the 8 one.

There is a technique to using these, you cant just strike it once and have a fire, but its the best one Ive ever used.

Super nice ferro rod, however the multi tool to strike with is far too small for my big hands. Ended up using the back of my knife and had a fire within 3 strikes.

I love this monster, it is perfect, the only thing that is missing is a pouch to store it, but is perfect like that, definitely recommend.

Very easy to use high quality excellent spark

Thing throws some wicked sparks and decent chinks of molten metal that sit there and smolder for a bit. Havent started a fire with it yet but it will obviously do so very well. Plan to make a hardwood handle for mine just to have something a little bigger to hang onto.

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

excellent

A solid piece of gear I’d trust with my life.

This firestarter is ginormous in length and thickness. It would take a long long time to wear this puppy down, which is exactly why I like it. It is not too heavy or really bulky to keep in my survival pack. You will get a lot of hot strikes with this and it will stow away nicely. Honestly, what more could you ask for from a firestarter. My only critique is the outer coating gets on your hands, but hey, in an actual situation where you are using this thing, something tells me making a fire is a bit higher on the priority list than having black hands. I give it 5 stars and will buy this same one again after it gets used up in say, 30 years!
