All of our Ferro Rods are manufactured using our Forest Fundamentals Ferrocenium™ blend. We tried and tested numerous Ferro Rod compositions till we had perfected the optimum balance between softness and durability. Our Ferro Rods throw down large showers of molten sparks, but we were also careful not to make the rods too soft to ensure longevity. More info is available here.

All of the Ferro Rods also come with our new Stealth Fire Strikers™. Designed from scratch and manufactured from heat-treated Steel, this 7-function striker will surpass all of your fire lighting needs. More info is available here. 

What is a ferrocerium rod?

Ferro Rods, also known as Fire-Steels is one of the most popular means of fire-lighting by outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike matches or lighters, Ferro Rods are extremely reliable, long-lasting, and completely water and wind-proof.

Ferro Rods are made using a blend of elements including cerium, lanthanum, iron, and magnesium. Ferro Rods work by striking the rod which removes small fragments of metal. These fragments produce hot sparks reaching temperatures of 3,000 °C due to a rapid oxidation process.
