Survival Fire Starter Flint & Steel Striker for Bushcraft and Emergency, Firesteel Magnesium That is 5/16 inches Thick, Waterproof Ferro Rod with Custom Wood Handle and Necklace Paracord

Perfect size and the ferro rod is firmly secured to the wood handle. I like the fact that the wood is not stained or sealed. The striker works well, and after you scrape the black stuff off the rod it sparks very well. Took a napkin today outside and three strike's it was burning. Very nice and would highly recommend to others.

Good quality. Sparks very well with both striker and both knives Ive tried it with. Good size handle and comes with a good striker and a long enough cord to be easily worn around the neck.

4 stars because I haven't used it yet but seems to be durable . Dedfinently going in my hiking/camping pack for emergencies

Scrape off all the black paint, and slow strike, works every time. Simple small and smart. I've tried a lot of the flint steel strikers and this one just works for me.

I'm not sure if those that wrote poor reviews got a rod that was a dud, but the one I received works like a charm. As with any ferrocerium rod, you must prep it by striking it a couple of times prior to trying to get your spark. One or two prep strikes, and then this thing throws a shower of bright hot sparks. Using the striker that comes with it you should have no problems. It's a great deal for just under $10.

Honestly, I didn't expect much. I usually stick to the Swedish light my fire or Uberlebin brands, but I must say, I was pleased with the quality of this rod. A decent striker and parachord too. I will purchase this product again.

Could be better

Love these they fit perfectly into my GCS custom knives sheath steel rod holder. It strikes hot first go around. Must buy first survival kit ...I'm buying this again to have as a back up. Also bought 2 more..one for a new knife and a replacement for the wife's GCS custom knife
