Ferro rods are a great way to start a fire when your lighter or matches get wet. Ferrocerium is a synthetic pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks that can reach temperatures of 3,000 °C (5,430 °F) when rapidly oxidised by the process of striking the blade or spine of a knife or specialised striking tool.
Wooden handled 8 mm x 100 mm ferrocerium rods with a flat elastic lanyard. A Leather mounting loop and hardware is provided for pouch and sheath mounts. 90mm of the rod is exposed for striking.
The ferro rod mounting adaptors suit our Survival Tin Pouches
