Encrypted payments processed through trusted providers. We never store your card details.
Ferrocerium is a man-made metallic material that produces hot sparks at temperatures of about 1,650 °C (3,000 °F) when scraped against a rough surface (pyrophoricity), such as ridged steel. Many high carbon steels will create a spark but the ferro rod is the most widely used fire making tool. These sparks can be used to catch all kinds of tinder sources on fire. This is the most bomb-proof modern fire making tool you can bring with you to create fire. When fuel in your BIC lighter runs out and your matches are all gone, then you must turn to a quality ferro rod.

In extreme conditions, the dexterity in your hands could be detrimental, and gross motor movement skills are diminished. In some cases, individuals couldn't even spark a lighter, but the simple scraping motion can easily be accomplished in almost every survival situation. Fire is one of the most important bushcraft skills.
NOTE: This ferro rod does not come with a lanyard, but does have a machined hole in one end for compatibility for a lanyard.
