Hold the ferro rod close to the tinder at about a 45-degree angle. （Dead grass or weeds, fine, dry wood shavings, twine pulled apart, dryer lint or cotton balls… all make good tinder.）2. Place the scraper near the top of the rod (so it makes solid contact with the rod). 3. Pull the rod back (away from the tinder) with a slow and steady motion. Tip: Many people will hold the ferro rod next to the tinder and rub the scraper toward the tinder. By pulling the rod back (instead of rubbing the scraper forward) you’ll create a spark at the same place. But you’ll do it without risking bumping the scraper into your pile of tinder and scattering it all over the place. PLEASE NOTE: Because Ferro rods contain iron, they’re often coated to prevent oxidation. You’ll need to scrape away the coating to expose shiny metal before first use.

Ferrocerium rod is made from Iron, Magnesium and mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal with an excellent pyrophoric percentage : 98%min. **Q: Can you scrape pieces of the rod into your kindling with the striker itself? Or only use it to strike?** A: My experience with this rod is you cannot scrape off bits of rod material like the inexpensive fire starters you can get at Harbor Freight. BUT... you do not need to. Striking this rod produces some very strong and hot sparks. I have had no problems starting a fire by striking sparks into a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly. **Q: What is the country of manufacturer?** A: It is made in China. **Q: Approximately how many strikes will it last?** A: This Ferro Rod showers sparks! Of course, you have to scrape the top layer off first. I only scrape off about 20% of the coating so the coating to extend the life of the rod. I agree that this Rod should provide 100's of strikes...even though the company says 1,000's.
