NexLand Outdoors Ceramic Ferro Rod Striker Mini EDC Survival Kit for Fire Starting in Any Situation

SJ: These are great strikers for your Ferro rod. The make great sparks and are much easier to hold onto and has a much broader edge than a lot of other wearable sizes. I like that they have 6 usable sides for striking. It's not likely that they will dull being made of ceramic, but it's nice knowing that there will always be a sharp edge. You can also use it as a knife sharpener if needed. Highly recommend.

Oops: It’s a good pack of kit for the price, in my case, the sample in the model’s hand made it appear larger in contrast. I guess my hands are much larger and it was a bit difficult trying to get a reliable grip and stroke angle, I like the product, but I think I might look into the next step they provide, CS4015, for about the same price they provide a 2 pack.

Calvin: We use ferro rods all the time for lighting fires and I had purchased the Bayite 3.14" keychain ferro rods to go on our key ring. I wanted a striker that was small, that didn't take up space. This is for emergencies and I don't mind having to remove it if I really needed to use it. The combination of the keychain ferro rods with this striker is perfect. The striker has a very good edge and it probably works better than any other striker except it is small and you have to be coordinated to stay on the ferro rod, but this was what I wanted.

For hiking and larger ferro rods I use larger strikers.

Jeff CloughJeff Clough: I confess I was skeptical about using a ceramic striker with a ferro rod. Would it work? (Yes, it works better than the spine of most knives.) Would it break in my hand? (So far, so good.) And I love how light and small these are. I'm a guy with fairly large hands. (It's not bragging if it's true.) And I have no trouble using these strikers at all. There's a length of paracord through the top of the ferro rod I use, and I've attached one of these strikers to the other end of that line. Stopper knots keep everything together while still letting me put things where they need to be.

I keep the whole thing, along with some drier lint I use for tinder, in a plastic Narwhal Co. screw-top tube (which originally contained pen refills), in the "emergency" kit I use for backpacking. That's a "bayite 4 Inch Survival Ferrocerium Drilled Flint Fire Starter" in the photo if you're curious. All this makes a pretty nice package I've used several times, just to make sure everything works.
