HOW TO USE: 1 – Gather tinder (dry branches, bark, grass, pine needles, lint, paper, etc.) of the preferred size/amount. 2 – Use the serrated edge of the striker to scrape along the length of the magnesium rod to create shavings. 3 – You can either sprinkle the magnesium shavings throughout the tinder pile, or scrape the shavings into a cluster to the minimum size of a U.S. quarter coin. 4 – Then hold the flint at an angle over the pile, while forcefully sliding your striker along the length of the flint to create sparks. 5 – Continue to slide the striker against the flint until the sparks land directly onto the shavings pile and ignite a flame. PLEASE NOTE: For first-time use, stripping the protective layer of paint from the striker before starting your fire will help produce the best results.

These rods are pretty standard if you can use one you can pretty … First thing you need to understand is this thing is massive. Make sure you actually have room in your kit for it. If you attach this to a keyring is about the size of a standard kubaton. The first thing I did just take a 3 inch wide piece of a gorilla tape rap about a foot of it around the rod just below the lanyard hole. The size of this thing you do not need a handle but doing this will present to you just over two and a half inches of the rod which is plenty to work with and you’re not…
The best ferro rods – no need to look further These are some massive firesteels. They’re 6″ long and half an inch thick. They come pre-drilled for a lanyard. If any of you have ever drilled into a ferro rod you know how much fun that is. Sparks flying everywhere, you have to go slow or you’ll ruin your drill bit. So that’s awesome about these.
Better than average and a great deal As stated in the description and in other reviews, these are large and thick “ferro” rods, being 6 inches in length and 1/2 inch in circumference. They are delivered in a cardboard box with an interior divider to prevent them from contacting each other and removing their protective coating.
