## Features

- YOUR KNIFE IS YOUR STRIKER: Use the spine of your knife to strike the fireROD XL. Many bushcrafting knives do not round over the edges of the spine leaving them sharp for use as a striking tool.
- TINDER STORAGE: Remove the top cap to reveal a large compartment that holds four quickLIGHT tabs (included) or tinder of your choice.
- HEAVY-DUTY REPAIR TAPE: The approx. 12 in. (4.7 cm) of repair tape can be used for patching holes, as an improvised bandage, creating bush-crafting tools, or even as tinder (yes, it’s flammable!)
- 1/2 in. FERROCERIUM ROD: The included Ferro rod is not only waterproof, but replaceable as well. Simply unthread it from the body of the fireROD XL and thread in a replacement rod.
- ANODIZED ALUMINUM BODY: The fireROD XL is CNC machined, in house from USA high-grade 6061 aluminum then anodized for protection in one of four signature Exotac colors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and purpose built
*by L***H on November 22, 2025*

Well constructed, sturdy. I anticipate it will prove useful for its intended purpose, as a tool to augment my knife system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bday
*by B***N on October 10, 2025*

Bought as a bday present 🎁 he loves it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well thought out and throws out nice sparks
*by V***E on May 17, 2023*

The fireROD XL is awesome it throws a nice shower of sparks and the o-ring sealed tinder box/handle is awesome and has room for a little bit more if you feel the need. If you wear it out you can order a replacement rod and not have to buy the whole thing again which is awesome. I would like to build one like it that holds a 1/2" magnesium rod so I kind of have a matching set. Even the paracord for the lanyard has a red wax coated tinder inside of it for more tinder options and the duck tape can be ripped into strips for tinder or used to patch a rip id give this firerod a 9/10 I think only thing I'd change is putting beads on the lanyard for use as ranger beads/pace counting.
