Great
Good product. I've ordered a number of these. They last a long time. Members of our family love to go camping, and they have enjoyed this product as well.

Not Bad !!!
It's a good ferro rod. I cut it half and made two fire starter kits from it!

Massive Spark Shower
The media could not be loaded. Awesome sparks of molten metal. I started the first fire in video with one strike with shaved curls from really good pine lighter (fat wood) and dryer lint. Second fire I removed the dryer lint. Third fire is fat wood and dryer lint but it’s dark so you can see how much spark this rod throws with the right striker. I’m using the back of a carbon steel wood chisel as a striker and it also shaves nice curls from wood. Carbon steel or high speed tool steel make awesome strikers. Speedy Sharp carbide tool sharpeners are probably the best strikers but I haven’t personally tried one yet. Stainless sucks as a striker. One of these rods, a Speedy Sharp, and a piece of fat wood tethered together with para chord is $25 total and I guarantee that it will quickly make fire in the rain with cold numb hands.

As described, works great

Good for a beginner
It’s a bit small but will work for every once in a while easier to carry. Sparks well and easy to use. Takes a sharp edge to spark

Really good ferro rod
Much better than the small ones you get in cheap survival kits.

Sorry guys, Size does Matter when it comes to your Ferro (rod)
I am a Freelance Gear Reviewer, and former Top Reviewer from a well-known online gear review site. I am also a Survivalist, and professional wilderness survival writer and editor.When it comes to Ferro Rods, size does matter. The reason for this is due to physics & mathematics, both of which was my primary focus in college. It all measures down to surface area, and length. A small ferro rod will produce less sparks, that is just science and not opinion. The amount and temperature of the sparks is what will ignite the tinder.People that have problems lighting their timber with ferro rods either has a combination or one of the other problems; not enough sparks or sparks are too low a temperature or a combination of both. (this is assuming your tinder is not to blame)Being an older gentleman reaching 50 years in the not-too-distant future (sadly), I must say that I got tired having to press so hard on my striker against smaller, thinner, less 'hot' ferro rods.Con: heavier than smaller Ferro rods, and hole is a tad small to feed paracord through, so make sure you melt the tip of cord 1st, and have patiencePros: Hotter sparks up to 3000°F, more sparks produced, easier to use due to size, this product will last longer due to it's size (there is just more Ferro material), less pressure needed to produce same amount if not more sparks of smaller competitors)Conclusion: Buy Once... Cry Once,,, IMO it is better to spent a tad more money, and get this heavier, thicker, more durable, and far more sparks producing Ferro rod. It will allow you to more easily start fires, and more effortlessly, not to mention due to the higher spark temperature output, you will be able to catch fire far less 'suitable' tinder, like on those wet and raining days in the wilderness.

It works, lots of sparks
The rod produces lots of hot sparks, but also diminishes with use, or in order words, each time it produces sparks you are scraping away material, thus the limited number of uses.
