A really good, really BIG, ferro rod!
This is a really good, really BIG, ferro rod! I originally bought one with the striker and paracord lanyard but wanted one to mount for myself and use with my preferred striker so I also bought one of these plain ones. Either way these work exceptionally well, giving big, hot sparks that easily ignite any suitable natural or commercial tinder. The rod is relatively soft, so it strikes easily and makes lots of sparks, which means you can work with it from near the end and gradually work back as you wear it down rather than striking all the way along it from the start, and the size means that it will last a long time even though it does work so well. Well worth it's reasonable price and good value. I would buy more but I'm not sure I'll ever need them!
