1/2"× 5'' Pack of 2

  • Can be used for the kitchen as well as survival.
  • Not only for emergency bug-out bags, but also for gifts.

Size Comparison

  • Large size( 1/2'' thick) means plenty for your hands to hang onto. If you have large hands, we recommend the large size.
  • The 3/8'' × 4'' is big enough for easier strikes and small enough to carry.

How to use

  1. Scrape away the coating to expose shiny metal before first use.
  2. Hold the ferro rod close to the tinder at about a 45-degree angle. Place the scraper near the top of the rod.
  3. Pull the rod back (away from the tinder) with a slow and steady motion.

    What a big Rod !!! Can I say that here ?
    Seriously… it is great quality, throws great sparks and is a nice heavy size which should last my lifetime. (if you’re having problems getting good sparks, scrape or sand off a portion to bare metal. The type of steel you use can also make a difference…experiment a little before you depend on it ..lol. Also you can find videos on Youtube under Macramé or others that will show you how to make this square knot pattern with your paracord or just make a loop with a secure knot.) Guys…I hate to say it but size does matter…..

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry guys, Size does Matter when it comes to your Ferro (rod)
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023
    I am a Freelance Gear Reviewer, and former Top Reviewer from a well-known online gear review site. I am also a Survivalist, and professional wilderness survival writer and editor.

    When it comes to Ferro Rods, size does matter. The reason for this is due to physics & mathematics, both of which was my primary focus in college. It all measures down to surface area, and length. A small ferro rod will produce less sparks, that is just science and not opinion. The amount and temperature of the sparks is what will ignite the tinder.

    People that have problems lighting their timber with ferro rods either has a combination or one of the other problems; not enough sparks or sparks are too low a temperature or a combination of both. (this is assuming your tinder is not to blame)

    Being an older gentleman reaching 50 years in the not-too-distant future (sadly), I must say that I got tired having to press so hard on my striker against smaller, thinner, less 'hot' ferro rods.

    Con: heavier than smaller Ferro rods, and hole is a tad small to feed paracord through, so make sure you melt the tip of cord 1st, and have patience

    Pros: Hotter sparks up to 3000°F, more sparks produced, easier to use due to size, this product will last longer due to it's size (there is just more Ferro material), less pressure needed to produce same amount if not more sparks of smaller competitors)

    Conclusion: Buy Once... Cry Once,,, IMO it is better to spent a tad more money, and get this heavier, thicker, more durable, and far more sparks producing Ferro rod. It will allow you to more easily start fires, and more effortlessly, not to mention due to the higher spark temperature output, you will be able to catch fire far less 'suitable' tinder, like on those wet and raining days in the wilderness.
