  • STRIKER/SCRAPER made of hardened steel is sharpened to create large showers of sparks and won’t cut your skin. It also scrapes the magnesium rod and hardwood handle with ease.
  • PARACHORD rated at 550 lbs. tensile strength made in the US by certified US govt contractor. Won’t break or rot.

This Portable Tiny Tot Packs a Fiery Shot

A 'Made in America' Tale of Fire & Passion

Effortless Ignition, Even in Harsh Conditions

Let's face it, starting a fire in tricky conditions can be a real downer. Whether it's a sudden downpour or you're running low on kindling, our fire starter is your fail-safe solution. Don't let the weather or lack of resources rob you of the joy of being outdoors - with our waterproof fire starter, you'll be stoking the flames of adventure in no time. This little dynamo ensures that a roaring fire's warmth, light, and comfort are always within reach, no matter the odds.

Built Tough to Fuel Your Outdoor Adventures

Ever been left in the cold because your matches got soggy or your lighter decided to quit on you? Not a pleasant situation. Well, this fire starter is built like a tank - ready to endure all those wild adventures you have planned. So whether you're setting up camp in the backwoods, hunting in the highlands, or backpacking across the country, it's the loyal companion you can count on to keep the home fires burning.

This Portable Powerhouse Packs a Fiery Shot

This fire stick, ranging in pack sizes of one to three, ensures that a cozy, comforting fire is always just a strike away - without bulking up your pack or slowing down your journey. Weighing in at a feather-light 5 ounces and measuring a compact 6.5 inches, it slips into nearly any size backpack or bag with ease, leaving plenty of room for all your other outdoor essentials.

A 'Made in America' Tale of Fire & Passion

Our story is a testament to grit, growth, and a burning desire to elevate your outdoor experiences. We delved deep into research, handpicking only the finest quality components to craft the ultimate tool for igniting adventure. While we could have taken shortcuts, we chose the path of excellence over expedience, refusing to compromise or settle for average.

The Superior Spark of Genuine Ferrocerium

Crafted for Comfort & Control in All Climates

A Shower of Sparks, but Sans the Scrapes

550 lbs. of Tensile Strength at Your Fingertips

The Superior Spark of Genuine Ferrocerium

Our fire starter integrates superior materials, utilizing a 3/8" diameter rod of genuine Ferrocerium, boasting a remarkable 96% purity. We've also incorporated a second essential component - a highly pure, 97% Magnesium rod measuring 3/4" in diameter. This soft, easily scrapable metal serves as metallic tinder, providing a powerful surge of heat upon ignition. This not only aids novice users in successful fire ignition but also ensures the ability to start a fire under adverse conditions.

Crafted for Comfort & Control in All Climates

Thanks to our fire starter's African hardwood handle, you'll maintain a firm grip no matter how wet or frosty it gets. And here's a cool trick - you can scrape the waterproof handle in a pinch to create dry tinder. So even when the weather's pulling a fast one on you, you're prepared and in control. Now, isn't that a warm thought?

A Shower of Sparks, but Sans the Scrapes

Our premium striker is made from hardened, high carbon tempered steel, sharpened just right to shower sparks like it's the Fourth of July, but won't nick your skin. Plus, it's a multitasker - it can scrape the magnesium rod and hardwood handle like a champ. So you get a rain of sparks and an easy scrape without the 'ouch.'

550 lbs. of Tensile Strength at Your Fingertips

The paracord that we use is born and bred in the USA, boasting a beefy 550-pound tensile strength. Rain or shine, it won't snap or rot, ensuring your fire-starting tag team is always ready for action. So, this dynamic duo has your back no matter where your adventures take you.

Got this ferro rod for a ……challenge in the wilderness of Africa. It was one of 4 items I had to work with for almost a month, and made fire effortlessly. The magnesium is soft and easy to remove from the bar, and the ferro rod is thick and hot, unlike other magnesium based fire starters where the rod breaks easily and the magnesium is very hard to take shavings from. BONUS- the fat wood handle helps a ton and is a huge bonus🔥 🪓🪶 recommend 💯5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️~Shell

This is a very well made Ferro rod. All materials and parts are very high quality. Produces a serious amount of sparks.

In the past I've bought a couple Fieldcraft Survival brand Ferro rods, I'm absolutely convinced this is the exact same product, just branded differently and cheaper.
I'll be buying more to give as gifts.

I have had a ferro rod and lost it. I almost bought another one similar to the one I lost but read the reviews on this. Then went on Youtube and watched a video or two on this one. After watching the videos I liked it. And figured if it was no good I could always buy another ferro rod.

When I got it I took it outside to try. It seemed odd to scrape a bit of the wood off but I did. The only thing, you have to make sure there is no wind or put it in a hole so the tiny slivers of wood do not blow out. Then I scrapped the magnesium on the wood. I have had bad luck with magnesium not starting in the past and was not expecting much.

Finally it was time to see how the spark would go. Looking at the little tool to strike the rod I almost got my backpacking knife and used the back of the blade. The tool looked so small lol. But I took the little sharpened tool, struck it down the rod and Wow!

It made a big and Strong shower of sparks! The first try actually surprised me it was so intense! The tiny pile of wood and magnesium I had made for a first try did not light but honestly I was off a little. I positioned the rod better and the next strike lit it right up!

The magnesium shavings were small enough even they lit! I was very pleased. Of course I had to try it again and made the pile of wood shavings from the handle a little larger as well as the magnesium. Took the little scraper-tool and first try it set the shavings on fire.

Then I had to try it on other things without using the shavings from the tool, like cotton balls with Vaseline. Worked perfect.

I love it. Much better to me than a regular ferro rod.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not lightweight or tiny, but it works very well
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2022
Style: 1 PackVerified Purchase
This thing is too bulky and heavy for backpacking, and if you carry a few bic lighters, do you need one of these? But I carry it anyway.

The ferro material that generates sparks is far and away better than anything else I've used. You get a veritable shower of sparks and I've never had to strike more than twice to get cotton balls burning. It's like fireworks, compared to most cheap starters, and it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. And it looks like it will be good for hundreds if not thousands of lights. It works when cold and wet (which a bic lighter might not) and with metals other than the enclosed striker (the back of a knife will do).

The magnesium is hard to shave off, but if you need it to start a fire, it's because you really need a fire and you'll put up with the difficulty. The use of paracord to attach the striker to the rod is a nice, if showy, touch. The fact that you can carve up the handle for kindling in an emergency is cute, though I question whether it's worth the extra size and weight it adds. People can pack their own tinder. To be perfect, they probably should have hollowed out the handle as a place to pack cotton balls and petroleum jelly, the firestarter's friends.

I don't know how much of a value this is since I'm new to fire starters, but I can say it works. This makes it fairly easy to start a fire as long as you have some dry paper, leaves, dryer lint, etc. etc. as a starter medium.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will last for the serious outdoorsman
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2023
Style: 1 PackVerified Purchase
The whole thing looks like a serious outdoorsman could use this for a very, very long time. Quality is by far better than two others I’ve bought. . Rod is three times the size of the others, striker won’t bend over time and the handle is “solid.”

I ordered 3 different Mg rods with plans try them out. The best one would stay in the regular camping kit, the ones we didn’t like could go to scout camp and the emergency kit. The quality difference between this one and the other two was striking (couldn’t resist). The other two “average” rods look like Walmart knock-offs.
