How To Start A Fire with FERROFIRE Ferro Rod and FERROFIRE Striker?
-
Step 1 of 5
Prepare tinder. The perfect tinder is fat wood, dry leaves, cotton or scraped chips from a piece of FERROFIRE ferro rod can also work well
-
Step 2 of 5
The black coating is to protect a ferro rod from oxidation in air. It needs to be partially scraped off before ignition.
-
Step 3 of 5
Grab FERROFIRE striker scraper with your dominant hand, with its sharp edge against the ferro rod (scraper tilting about 45 degrees relative to the ferro rod)
-
Step 4 of 5
Brace your hand on the ground closer to tinder. You will be keeping the ferro rod striker stationery during striking.
-
Step 5 of 5
Grip the ferro rod with your secondary hand, bring it under the ferro rod striker, pull the ferro rod toward you, making sure that it rubs against the sharp edge of the striker.

I purchased these small/mini fero rods to place in a lightweight get home bag also in my wazoo cache belt and cache cap. I was a little worried that being so thin that they might break easily but I found them to be sturdy. I tested one on a Bigfoot bushcraft fire plug using the tiny victronox classic and it worked like a charm. 2 strikes and I had fire. I would buy it again however they come in 20 per package so they will probably last long after I'm gone. Also a great gift idea for those that enjoy the outdoors

Bought these on a whim. Recently purchased smaller ferro rods from a company selling 1 3/8"x3" for $30 shipped, and these were touted as some of the best made. Figured for $12 for 5, I'd see how these compared. I was pretty surprised to say the least. These are easier to strike, and I get sparks with a light flick. These throw a lot of sparks, more flaming sparks and caught my jute easier and with more regularity than the ferro rod 10x as expensive. I am astounded that I have (5) 3/8"x3" rods for $12 shipped and i was going to waste $30 on 1 that wasn't better in the least. Buy these, you wont be disappointed if they ship you what they shipped me,

These small ferro rods are easily packed or carried in a wallet. I got them to fit in a DPx knife handle that has a hidden space. The rods are small, but used wisely will last a bunch of fires. Don't plan on these being a primary ignition source, but they are handy and they work.

Not my mainline service sparking choice but THESE can be secured without noticing on keychains, knife sheaths, and zipper-pulls for those "just in case" moments. On a knife sheath I like to encase these tiny fero-rods in a rubber or plastic tube, folded and tied closed before securing on an exposed sheath.I make a point to, after returning home from an outdoors adventure, re-paint all Ferro-rods with clear fingernail polish.**The Whole Point ** of a ferro-cerium rod is that it is extremely reactive. Water, especially salty water, sweat, and oils from your skin will degrade these most reactive tools.When you need one -- you NEED one. Make certain it it usable -- just in case.

I put these with a tiny flashlight in lots of nooks and crannies. They work as intended and actually I hope they're never really going to be needed. I prefer matches and lighters. Ha

But these are pretty good. My bad .. reading comprehension. I interpreted 'mini small' in the description to mean 2 sizes and was surprised to see 20 rods the same size, exactly as described, 3" by 5/32. You would have a difficult time holding anything smaller and getting sparks, though. Receiving 20 of these, which are small enough to keep stashed pretty much wherever, so you should never again not be able to get a fire going wherever you are.

These things are great! You don't need gigantic ferro rods to make sparks and start a fire, these minis work fine.Perfect size to build-into a sheath, include with a survival kit or attach to your keychain (like I did - see the photos).Sure, they won't individually last as long as a 6" x 1/2" rod, but you get TWENTY and each rod could probably still start a few hundred fires.

I got these to use as awards for Scouts passing my fire-building class. Mine arrived dirty and beaten-up-looking compared with others. Not used, but not in good, uniform shape. I feel like 3 inches is too short for serious use. Four inches with a handle makes more sense to me, although the ones I use the most are six inches long and half an inch diameter. If these were drilled for a lanyard, they might be okay with the lanyard held taut as an extension of the rod like a "handle".Anyhow - unless you're gluing or threading and screwing these into a handle, I'd say look for something s bit longer. Oh, and good luck cutting a thread into these!
