N/A: I've been through a lot of ferrocerium rods some being much more expensive than these. Still, I think I like these more than most that I've ever had. Also, considering the price, and the fact that these things are huge, I think these will be my go-to rods for now on (assuming they are available). Some of the comments I read about these make feel I should share a couple simple points. First, and most important, the proper and efficient use of ferrocerium rods takes practice. If you are just learning, you are probably gonna jack up a few rods before you get good with them. Also, it is absolutely crucial that your striker is a good quality high carbon steel. I currently use a Buck knife made of 420HC stainless steal. When you do learn to use them properly, they are, in my opinion, the most reliable fire starting method available. Here's another tip, before striking I like to quickly rub my striking edge back and forth along the rod, maybe for 20 passes, using moderate pressure (around 150g or the weight of decent quality pocket knife). Doing this will heat up the rod, charge it with static, loosen up some fine ferrocerium, and give you a larger shower of sparks when you do strike....

Eliot Plath: There really isn't a need for a handle or a pointed end for rods of you are using them as intended.

These work well without the unnecessary bits that just add cost to the end product.

They are Ferro rods, and they are plenty big. Expect thousands of strikes.

Coating is fine, nothing too extravagant but it doesn't need to be.

Need a rod? May as well get a big one without all of the extras.
