Extra Thick Ferro Rod + Steel Striker [WAREHOUSE SALE]

A ferrocerium rod, commonly known as a ferro rod, is a type of fire starter. It consists of a metal rod made from a mixture of iron and cerium, along with other rare earth elements. When scraped with a rough surface such as a knife blade or a piece of steel, it produces sparks that are hot enough to ignite tinder, helping to start a fire. Ferro rods are valued for their durability and reliability in various weather conditions, making them popular among outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and campers.
