$13.99 $9.99

This Medium Ferro Rod features a carbon steel striker with a braided dark olive green paracord lanyard long enough for easy striking!

The Medium 4-inch Ferrocerium Rod will provide thousands of high-temperature sparks to help get your fire started.  Toss it in your pack or pocket for quick access!

The medium ferro rod does not fit SlicKnives sheaths.

 

Key Features:

  • Provides thousands of sparks when being struck with the included carbon steel striker or via the back of a 90-spine of a knife
  • The braided olive green paracord lanyard provides a larger grip, enough length to easily strike the rod, and nice 4 foot length of cordage if needed
  • Impervious to water, so that it’s always ready – just wipe it dry, lay dry tinder in your fire set, and strike it to get a fire roaring
  • The carbon steel striker includes an ergonomic polymer grip, is powder-coated black, has a scraper on one edge, and a flat edge for making spark fly

 

Caution - All commercially available ferro rods are coated with a protectant to prevent corrosion after they have been made.  Once the ferro rod has been scraped, the exposed iron in the rod will corrode over time when humidity or water is present.  A corroded ferro rod still works as a good fire starter, however, its rust can stain materials that are in contact with it. 

SlicKnives suggests storing a used ferro rod separately from fabrics and leather sheaths to protect against rust stains.  A thin layer of petroleum jelly can help protect a used ferro rod's surface while being stored and is easy to wipe off when the ferro rod is needed to start the next fire.
