What is a ferrocenium rod?

Ferrocenium rods or fire-steels are one of the most influential innovations in outdoor products. They are extremely reliable. Unlike matches or lighters, they very rarely break and require no fuel. They are 100% waterproof and windproof and will light fires at any altitude, making them the perfect survival tool.

Fire steels are a blend of ferrocerium, a synthetic alloy that produces hot sparks due to a rapid oxidation process that occurs when you strike the rod. We believe our unique blend of Forest Fundamentals Ferrocerium™ is an industry leader. It produces showers of molten sparks. We have developed the perfect balance between softness and durability. There is a reason Forest Fundamentals has set a new industry standard for ferrocerium rods.

The Artisan is perfect for outdoors people who value more traditional style gear. This would make the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys bushcraft or spending time in the great outdoors, particularly those interested in developing more primitive outdoor skills. This handcrafted product is extremely long-lasting and would make a unique gift to keep and remember!

This product is handmade and uses natural materials, so it is possible there is some very slight variation from the exact measurements specified.
