Erim Nelson: I love that it's a good size for my big hands. Sparks great, and you can fill the handle with dryer lint to have what you need to get a fire going in no time

Amazon Customer: A little on the large side for my purposes (a backup firestarter for the backpack). I returned it. That said, it seemed to be a high quality product with an ample rod.

Carolee D. Carmichael: Inspired by watching an entire season of Alone in one sitting I eagerly bought this. Admittedly I did not know what a Ferro Rod actually was but I had to have one! I learned a valuable lesson in the hour I spent trying unsuccessfully to start a fire: I would probably die of hypothermia or starvation within days. But first I’d get crippling diarrhea from not being able to boil my drinking water. Having said this I believe in capable hands this would be a life saver. It shoots powerful sparks that seem very eager to start a fire. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I will not be surviving any kind of zombie apocalypse or backyard BBQ for that matter.

Jason A. Wise: I am a firesteel user and collector and have dozens of them running the gamut from cheap chinesium to $100 American made tools, all from various manufacturers. This WILDAIR Ferro rod is a great bargain firesteel that I liked so much I bought two. I paid $15.99 a piece for them and bought them both with the orange aluminum handle.

The anodizing is flawless, the machining is all very well done, the threads are crisp and even, there are no sharp edges or flashing left behind, the compartment inside the handle is sealed with an O-ring and is waterproof, and the rod screws easily into the handle.

This firesteel does fall a tad short in one aspect; as easily as the ferrocerium rod screws into the handle it will also come loose from the handle. The threads are of a standard pattern, not fine, so they are more durable but don't tighten down as much. The quickest, easiest fix is to wrap the threaded portion of the rod in a layer or two of Teflon plumber's tape and then screw it firmly into the handle. Just make sure you're wrapping the tape in the correct direction so that it stays put while being threaded into the handle. If you have one of those grippy pads in your coupon...

missspike: I gotta say that I was a bit skeptical at first but, bought it for a small “backup” and the idea that the handle opened up for some storage made the possibilities even better.
So I ordered and it arrived quickly and packaged well. It comes as advertised with pouch, Paracord for the lanyard, striker, and the rod with storage handle.
The important review for me is the rod. This seems to be a medium to soft density ferro rod that produces an ample amount of hot sparks! The storage handle is large enough for a few cotton swabs or some char cloth or matches even as a backup. It holds enough to have on hand for emergencies if dry tinder isn’t available. The one thing I was worried about right off was that the rod threads into the handle. I feared it would come loose during use and get lost. This has not been an issue as of yet. I notice no loosening at all. With that said all it will take is a drop of glue or thread locker to correct if that does occur.
The Paracord is their Fire Paracord and it delivers as promised and expected.
For my purpose I didn’t find much use for the pouch as storage for this rod and striker as it seemed difficult to quickly get rod and...
