Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It is very primitive and satisfying way to start a campfire. The rod comes with a coating, once the coating is scraped off, it strikes every time; without fail. Rod is a good length to get a spark with a knife spine.

Not the best but very useable and fairly priced. Works like a charm! Better than many cheaper small copies from big box stores.

Save the cheapies for the grill at home. It is far longer (6), and larger in diameter (1/2), than other sellers on amazon, and it's about half the price. This larger rod is easy to hold and long lasting.

Ferro rod and a striker. Any hard, sharp material (metallic or not) works. Easy to keep the hacksaw blade with it though.

Took this on a 10 day tenting/camping road trip. One caveat, if you are a backpacker and weight is a big deal to you, this rod is somewhat heavy.



Cons

Minimal spark shower. Low heat production. Minimal wind, warm day. I was disappointed with its performance.

For the price size however just one is still a good deal


Good value does what it is advertised to do showers sparks

Packaging/appearance


Wrapped a little gorrilla duct tape as a handle for more fire resource along with 550 paracord through the lanyard hole


The description slightly seemed like possibly 2 came in the order

Competitiveness


I believe that bayite makes the best 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 ...  Read More

    Great ferro rod as it is big and could probably start a thousand fires but beware that only one comes in shipment
