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

Great package, great ferro rod I love it!

Huge and strikes great on my high carbon 1095 knife great spark throw

Bought this for my friend. Works every time. He uses his pen knife as a striker.

An excellent choice for your fire kit.

These ferro rods are way over hyped. They require significant pressure and long strokes to work. They tend to form ripples and have to be filed down. I agree with some others here that there are much better rods out there that function much better. The ones to look for are the ones that you can get a large spark just stroking the first 3/4 of the rod and not having to use real heavy pressure. You can test a ferro rod with a file. If it takes a long heavy stroke to generate sparks, my suggestion is to find a different rod where a light stroke with a file will easily generate sparks.

Bought for my bug out bag hopefully it works

While using a flint or ferrorod to start a fire always takes practice, its easier and more consistently reliable to use a larger ferro as the sparking surface is longer, creating better sparks, but also the heavier weight and larger size is more stable. For consistency, ease of use, the bayite is a good choice.

Great fire starter,more real estate to travel to get a good fire going,good sparks.

Repeatedly tried to get spark ... nothing. Shame I waited until went camping to try it cause now too late to return.

This is a great product! I highly recommend this over the more expensive smaller rods.
