  • YOUR KNIFE IS YOUR STRIKER: Use the spine of your knife to strike the fireROD XL. Many bushcrafting knives do not round over the edges of the spine leaving them sharp for use as a striking tool.
  • TINDER STORAGE: Remove the top cap to reveal a large compartment that holds four quickLIGHT tabs (included) or tinder of your choice.
  • HEAVY-DUTY REPAIR TAPE: The approx. 12 in. (4.7 cm) of repair tape can be used for patching holes, as an improvised bandage, creating bush-crafting tools, or even as tinder (yes, it’s flammable!)
  • 1/2 in. FERROCERIUM ROD: The included Ferro rod is not only waterproof, but replaceable as well. Simply unthread it from the body of the fireROD XL and thread in a replacement rod.
  • ANODIZED ALUMINUM BODY: The fireROD XL is CNC machined, in house from USA high-grade 6061 aluminum then anodized for protection in one of four signature Exotac colors.

It works but so dose the $5 one that is the same size… it is a fancy handle and a nice large diameter on a long rod that throws a lot of sparks and it has storage for a Cotten ball in the handle… but as I said the $5 one dose the same thing just with out the handle

Nice size rod and handle. I like having a little storage, and the tape.

This is price gouging at its best, only the people who think more is better will buy this, I was gifted one and I bought the Wildiar one for ten bucks and you can not tell them apart, I’ve been using both long term and both work fine, so why pay more when you can get the same for less, ridiculous.

The fireROD XL is awesome it throws a nice shower of sparks and the o-ring sealed tinder box/handle is awesome and has room for a little bit more if you feel the need. If you wear it out you can order a replacement rod and not have to buy the whole thing again which is awesome. I would like to build one like it that holds a 1/2" magnesium rod so I kind of have a matching set. Even the paracord for the lanyard has a red wax coated tinder inside of it for more tinder options and the duck tape can be ripped into strips for tinder or used to patch a rip id give this firerod a 9/10 I think only thing I'd change is putting beads on the lanyard for use as ranger beads/pace counting.

A superior quality product as we all have come to expect from Exotac. I have several smaller models and this 1/2" Ferro rod is built like a tank and should last a very long time.

Are you kidding me? Sixty-five dollars for something you can get for less than 10?LOL....it literally says "A waterproof striker." All you need to strike the rod, is the back side, in other words, the dull side, of a knife blade. You could probably get it done with a screwdriver if you knew what you were doing.....Is a knife, or a screwdriver waterproof? In the case of this......yes...... LMAO....Do not pay 65 dollars for this.....There is literally ZERO reason to pay that amount of money for this.."Made in the USA."........ooooohhh!Yeah....that's still not a reason to get f-d over that much......
