bayite 1/2 Inch X 6 Inch Large Ferro Rods Ferrocerium Rod Drilled Survival Fire Starter Flint Steel with Toggle Lanyard Hole for Camping Emergency

My son and I took this outside the day it arrived and were able to get a bundle of dryer lint going with one hearty strike, which we then built into a nice little fire. It throws a large shower of sparks and the length means youre able to get some purchase on it and still have plenty of surface area for generating sparks. I have since started numerous fires with the rod and have been impressed with it since day one. I dont know whats wrong with the folks who gave it 1 star but Id have to guess user error.

Just buy it already... Yes, it is bigger than just about any other ferro rod out there. And yes, it is extremely heavy. BUT, the reward is massive amount of sparks! Note: try to avoid looking directly at the sparks, youll get little blind spots in your vision for a few minutes!

Excelent firesteel really easy to use due to its size

Works

Soft Mischmetal firesteel at a damn decent price, this thing throws globs of sparks and is pretty sizeable in hand. Would definitely recommend.

Throws massive sparks. Solid buy.

Gives a nice spark, Im no pro at this but even I can get a fire going with this nothing fancy about it just works well.

Best fire starter ever. Got tired of overpaying for long stem butane lighters, so I bought this, works great, lights up my cedar bark shavings on first or second stroke.

6 rod is a good size.. At least thats what she said. Hmmm... Easy to use. Good spark. A little weight, but a life saver.

Best ferro rod I have used. Showers of sparks with every strike, I tried it with multiple different strikers and blades and it works great.
