Review: Ferro rod works well with included striker and a range of knives. I use this with my Benchmade Bushcrafter and the rod fits snuggly in the leather scabbard. When struck with a knife or the striker the rod throws small beads of burning material that last about 1 to 2 seconds. The material is sufficient light a fire with dry material. Rod produces a large quantity of sparks/material on each strike.
Review: I am new to this. I have never started a fire with anything but a lighter. After scraping the black coating off I tested. I used a small bundle of the wax hemp roap provided and fuzzed it up. Second strike and I had fire. I also did this on wet grass while it was raining lightly. I am eager to use it outdoors!

*by G***R on 5 September 2022*

Just got it yesterday. Planning a trip where I will try it out. Have used this type of fire starter before. A thin rod can break if not careful. Hope this holds up. As Long as you have a dry bundle of one of those that burn even when wet haven't had too much trouble using a rod. The only time I had trouble and almost didn't get a good fire going was in high country and heavy snow.
