SlicKnives Ferro Rod - Standard Replacement - No Lanyard

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. 

This replacement rod fits all SlicKnives sheaths.  It does not include a new shock cord; please, use the originally-supplied shock cord received with your knife to loop it through the drilled hole to securely fit the ferro rod loop on your sheath.  Pick up any of the Standard Ferro Rods with installed shock cord for a direct fit.

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
• Please, use the originally-supplied shock cord that came with your knife to loop it through the drilled hole

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.
