Buy It
I absolutely love it. Big and robust with hot sparks. Sure, maybe a smaller one will work, but this one will work easier, last longer and you'll love the heft of it; easy to hold in cold hands or with gloves

It works as advertised. It makes lots of pretty sparks!
It's really hard to screw up with something this simple. It functions. It makes pretty sparks. And the instructions that came with it - Provided a mild chuckle - It says to make a small pile of FerroCerium shavings. HOW does one make a pile of FerroCerium shavings? Hmmm, I'd use the included Striker Steel, but everytime I try all I ever get is Sparks and all the shavings Instantly burn up! LOL! Obviously, English isn't their 1st language! The ONLY improvement I could suggest is to include some sort of small bag or case, like a maglite pouch or something such.

Good tool
It’s going to light a lot of fires. Probably the one I’ll ever need. Good length and heft with its own striker.

Definitely worth your money
This is a great fero rod, the length and thickness make it easy for beginners and longevity for the experienced. The amount of sparks this one provides due to the amount of time your in contact makes for a really hot focused shower of sparks.

Works as advertised.
After seeing people on survival shows use these I thought it would be fun to try. It was. The better you prepare your kindling the quicker you can get it going.

Best striker I have ever owned.
Like the quality of it. Love the large sparks it and the amount of sparks each strike. Wish I had bout a couple more along with this one. Best striker I have ever owned. This will last me a lifetime unless I loose it. Makes more spark then I have ever seen. I am going to buy a few more for myself and as gifts. Definitely worth the money!

Heavy, long. Very nice
Heavier than I expected, but that’s ok. I had no problems creating sparks. The tool does allow you to scrape the coating off first. I read a comment that said it didn’t but I haven’t had that problem. I have a 4 year old that has been practicing and has gotten good sparks.

durable, lasting and best value
best value and very long lasting. I hav bought several and use in teaching elementary survival. There are better scapers---eg broken hacksaw blade or small file.
