The Hive Fire Starter™ is not your typical rounded Ferro Rod! The Hive is hexagonal with six flat sides. The flat sides have a larger surface area which results in more material being removed when striking, meaning larger showers of sparks! The Hive will make fast work of your fire lighting needs, here's why:
The Hive is available in two sizes: 3 and 8" lengths. Both lengths are extremely thick and allow for up to 20,000 strikes. All of our Ferro Rods are also 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.
As all of our Ferro Rods are pretty large, we wanted to offer something a little. The 4" length Hive is perfect for fitting inside survival and fire kit tins. If you are looking for something even smaller, make sure to check out our Sidekick Necklaces!
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.
The new Stealth Fire Strikers™ are also included. Made from heat-treated Stainless Steel the Stealth Fire Strikers™ include 4hex bits, a beveled straight-edged tinder scraper/prying tool, and also functions as a bottle opener, a pretty handy feature when sitting around a campfire! More info on the design process is available here.
This is perfect for all Ferro rod junkies, who just want to try something new!
