Lyndon hopkins: This is a great survival tool, which will last a long time

Lauli: Easy to use. Works great. Thanks to other reviews I learned to sand off the paint first.

Ryan Warner: If you dont have one of these in your SHTF or bug out bag what are you doing? Must have, works every time and even in moist conditions.

Wayne Hicks: Easy to use once you figure out the best angle to hold and use your striker.

Tony Hamilton: The fire striker works well- The smaller size is still easy to hold and the striker feels good.

Received this in replacement for something I did not order- The seller immediately corrected it- Thank you.

Kevin Boone: I can confirm that this device will start a fire in the woods, given the right conditions. Of course, if the conditions are bad, you might struggle to make fire with a blowtorch, but that's not the fault of the device. It makes a shower of what are obviously extremely hot sparks (don't test it over your carpet). I've found that bone-dry tinder will usually flame on the first strike.

If the conditions aren't optimal, though, expect pain. Both the rod and the striker are fiddly to grip. If it's going to take dozens of strikes to get the tinder alight, you're going to get blisters. Using the back of a knife rather than the supplied striker reduces this problem but, of course, finding drier tinder -- if there is any -- will work better.

In short, I think this works as well as any device of this type can be expected to.

Jonathan Peter Clark: It's a firesteel, so there really isn't a lot to go wrong with it. It's nice and chunky and it's got a decent bit of weight to it. You have to remove the paint covering first, just like you have to with any new firesteel, but once you have cleaned it off it strikes really well. I have successfully used it to light fires.

Nick: This is surprisingly substantial in comparison to many Ferro Rod Firestarters. As well as being 4 inches long which allows a decent grip, it is 1 centimetre thick. Feels nice and solid and will last a long time before neeiding to be replaced.

The scraper element has a nice plastic tab covering much of it so there is something to get hold of besides bare metal. The paracord lanyard is also longer than I expectd although I have not unwound it. There is a plastic tab that holdes to two ends together to for the lanyar into a loop. It looks as if it can be prised off by depressing a small tab on the side, allowing you to adjust the length of the cord by either cutting or simply weaving together in the same manner as the rest of the cord.

In testing it took only a few strikes to remove a strip of the black protective coating on the Ferro rod and a simple strike of the scraper down the exposed metal produced sparks with no problem and little effort. Many of the sparks were large and all were easily directed at the tinder. It will ofcourse take some practice to get a fire lit, but that is no fault of the striker itself and more to do with creating the right condition with...

Trimgrassdaily: The media could not be loaded.  Lots of reviews on rods just showing a fire, all fires look the same however the sparks that these things throw definitely don’t.

The order arrived very fast, 3 days before expected.I took off the paracord and replaced it with my own, as there’s a plastic thing on the original that gets in the way for me.
You can see in the video the rod and striker work quite well with large sparks. The rod is softer than I was expecting but a good thing as it throws large sparks and allows to create shavings, the striker works just as well or better than a carbide sharpener.

Stephen: This ferro rod was 3.5 - 4 for quality in my opinion :) I like the striker on it but didn’t want to lose it by removing it from the paracord lanyard at the same time the lanyard was about 25-30% too short :(
Still way better than your typical saw blade and ferro block.
