These 100mm (4inch) long * 10mm think ferrocerium rods come with a paracord handle which allows you to use the full length of the rod, and a striker so it's ready for use! These are great when paired with tinder such as birch bark, cotton wool, jute, feather sticks, fatwood, or anything else that is flammable, and you can shave down well enough due to the sparks producing heat of nearly 3000° C! These are great for hiking, survival, preppers, bushcrafters, and a reliable back up for those who prefer lighters/matches.
