Ferro Rods

This Standard Ferro Rod features a Red shock cord lanyard for increased visibility, ease of use, and to secure it, so that it's always ready when needed.

The Standard Ferrocerium Rod is designed to rain high-temperature sparks down on a fire set to help get things warmed up when in need.  It securely fits all SlicKnives sheaths that feature a ferro rod loop, so that a fire starter can be kept close at hand while in the field.

Key Features:

• Provides showers of sparks when being struck with the 90-degree spine of a fixed blade knife
• Fits all SlicKnives Sheaths that feature a ferro rod loop
• Red Shock Cord Lanyard for improved handling and high visibility
• 1/8" loop of shock cord offers secure mounting options such as sheaths, molle webbing, and a variety of packs

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 touching it accordingly. 

SlicKnives suggests storing a used ferro rod separately from our leather sheaths to protect the sheath from becoming rust stained - unless you're looking for that sort of patina.  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.
