Artisan Fire Starter™
Reviews£12.95
DESCRIPTION
The handcrafted Artisan Fire Starter™ is one of our longest-selling Ferro rods. It's more traditional in style and also includes one of our Stealth Fire Strikers and a piece of natural fatwood. Fatwood is renowned as one of the best natural fire starters, it boasts remarkable water resistance and high flammability.
The Artisan includes a hardwood wood-turned handle. We designed the handles to be easily gripped. The handles have been sanded and sealed with multiple coats of natural wood oil to protect against water and highlight the natural grain.
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.
The Artisan comes with our new Stealth Fire Strikers™. Designed from scratch and manufactured from heat-treated Steel, this striker will surpass all of your fire lighting needs. The striker also performs as a scraper/prying tool, spanner, and bottle opener. More info on the design process is available on our website.
The Artisan comes with a piece of natural fatwood. Fatwood is renowned as one of the best natural fire starters, it boasts remarkable water resistance and high flammability. Using the Ferro Rod striker and the Fatwood you can develop key bushcraft skills including batoning, creating ‘feather sticks’, and shavings.
Learning these invaluable fire-lighting skills will provide the perfect base for mastering the art of fire-craft using natural resources.
We have chosen to use 550 'Survival' paracord for the lanyard. This cord includes materials including copper wire, fishing line, waxed jute, and parachute cord. These materials serve a multitude of purposes in the field, including repairing shoelaces, fishing, constructing snares, building shelters, and more.

Super simple to use and throws plenty of sparks. Gets a fire started quickly without any hassle 🔥
Excellent ferro rod, scraper tool throws some fantastic sparks, I shop here regularly because it only sells stuff that works.
Excellent ferro rod, the strikers that come with it are superb, they certainly throw a shower of sparks, I keep mine separate to my knife. Absolutely great service as always from forest fundamentals.
Absolutely brilliant ferro rod and comes with a striker that actually throws sparks like the 5th of November. Great store, great product, thanks yet again.👍🏻😁🇬🇧
Excellent ferro rod, great size and the striker's on these are excellent. I definitely recommend them, great store.
I bought the striker as using the back of your knife isn't always the best way to be safe in the woods. The striker is light and very effective causing loads of sparks and feels nice in the hand, including the fire steel. Buy one you won't be disappointed.
Fab product, I gave the wooden handle a coat of Oil as it’s untreated and it looks great now. Didn’t come with the karabiner as listed, but no issues there.
Excellent fire starter from a great company. It throws a perfect arc of sparks and so far has ignited on the first strike every time. This independent company is well with your support. I will definitely be buying from them in the future.
Great product, great materials and well put together, I haven't used it yet but I did give it a strike and very impressed.
Fantastic firesteel! Didn't come with the fatwood stick. But excellent firesteel. Nice and chunky. Not to short either.
Awesome fire starter. It is great addition to my fire kit! This will last a lifetime, defiantly buying the Stealth soon.
These send out massive sparks and I'm not disappointed with this product at all! I bought two of them and I'm happy I found Forest Fundamentals.
Real quality rod, really well made - i bought the 12mm version and was worth it!
love the idea of including the fatwood as a bonus, great fire stater with loads of resin. makes a great backup if you want to start a fire fast with minimal effort.
Works great! Strikes easy, produces loads of sparks. Can't wait to use it on my next backpacking adventure!
I live as a full-time traveller, i love this ferro rod! Pretty much use it everyday and its still going strong!
Had a great time today in the woods, ferro rod lit wet bundle first time!
Stool up extremely well, first time fire
A fantastic fire steel from British Forest Fundamentals!
Excellent, one of the best ferro rods I have bought, from the US!
Good delivery time. Nice packaging. Even came with a personal thank you note and some simple instructionsteps on fire steel use. The product itself is a very good size, larget enough to get a good spark but not too big as to be unwieldy or impractical. The materials used are also very good quality and there is clearly a high level of craftsmanship. The steel striker looks and feels great to use. Came with a leather lanyard attached to a small silver clip to attach to a belt or bag etc... This is an awesome product both aesthetically and practically. 5 stars!!!
Can’t wait to trying it out in the woods!
Excellent service all round highly recommended
Bought as a gift & really happy with how it looks! Really fast delivery & excellent packaging too 😊
Arrived very quickly and my (grown up!) nephew is very happy with it 🙂
Génial comme tous vos produits
Great spark making tool
Great service Great product, lovely touch it coming with small peace of fat wood and the long lanyard and fire instructions card , Excellent 👌
Throws a shower of hot sparks, very easy to hold in cold whether. I especially like the larger striker.
Excellent fire starter will last a long time would definitely buy again.
Excellent fire steel. Great service from Forest Fundamentals
Excellent service and great product
Perfect for the order to the delivery. Keep that uo
best product!
Love all of the fundamentals gear 😊 well thought out 👍
Highly recommend! Great quality and great customer service. The fire starter looks great and I also love the packaging.
This is a very nice product. You can tell the items and its packaging have been well thought through. The wooden handle makes holding a relatively small ferro rod easy which in turn makes it easy to create descent sparks. The sparks could be created with the back of a knife but the supplied striker does a great job. The addition of the resin rich fat stick, which I'm saving for a needs must situation, is a lovely touch. This gear has enabled my son to enjoy successful fire lighting, which he's previously struggled with while using inferior equipment. I have no doubt this will give many more successful strikes!
Excellent service. Well made item. Wots really well. Thank you .
I am very pleased with the Artisan fire starter kit. Having suffered cheaper and inferior products l paid a bit more and got something that really kicks some sparks out. The fat wood attachment is a useful and nice touch and l look forward to starting many fires in the field in future. Very highly recommended for all outdoors folk.
