Fire where you need it, when you need it, no questions asked. Waterproof, windproof, and built to handle extreme temperatures, this compact ferro rod is designed to last virtually forever. An essential for your everyday carry, bugout bag, or survival kit.

Unlike traditional flint and steel, ferro rods are made from an iron and rare earth metal alloy that produces sparks exceeding 5,000°F when struck — with no fuel to leak, no batteries to fail, and nothing to degrade over time. Strike with virtually any sharp edge, from a knife spine to a jagged rock. Every rod includes our custom multi-function striker.

Key Features

• High Performance: 5/16" diameter with 2-1/2" of exposed rod for easy, high-temperature strikes. Capable of thousands of ignitions, providing a reliable fire source for years to come.

• Ergonomic Design: Shaped for a secure grip and precise control, with a lanyard hole for easy attachment and a variety of attractive finishes to choose from.

• Potent Glow: Select versions feature glow-in-the-dark handles powered by strontium aluminate, the brightest and longest-lasting glow technology available. Green glows brightest and longest; purple requires sunlight or UV to fully charge. Charge with any bright light; UV (320–400nm) works best. Learn more about our glow tech.
