Size Comparison
- Large size( 1/2'' thick) means plenty for your hands to hang onto. If you have large hands, we recommend the large size.
- The 3/8'' × 4'' is big enough for easier strikes and small enough to carry.
How to use
- Scrape away the coating to expose shiny metal before first use.
- Hold the ferro rod close to the tinder at about a 45-degree angle. Place the scraper near the top of the rod.
- Pull the rod back (away from the tinder) with a slow and steady motion.

These work if you have nothing else but they are challenging to use because of the small size. Good enough as as backup, far too small to be your primary ferrorod.

these rods are the perfect length--the length that is pocketable, stashable and long enough for even arthritic hands to manipulate and spew sparks all round. Price is right. When it's there on a keychain or in survival kits/altoids--- its added security. pre-drilled so that you can retain it, you'd be foolish not to put these on your kids' or grandkids' packs--after teaching them how to use these responsibly. great insurance.

Only used it once to make sure it works. It’s a bit small and definitely not what I’d want to be my primary. But for keychain it’s very nice

I bought the 2.5" rods.You want a Ferro rod to throw sparks - which these will do. I have started several campfires with one of these little guys. Could they be bigger? Yes. Is the price a tad high? Maybe. I actually think the size is perfect for attaching to a keychain or lanyard - which is exactly what I did. Plus, they come with a nice little tin - which I now use for storing tinder and a lighter for backup.Bottom line - if you know what you're doing, you should have no issues starting a roaring blaze with one of these little guys. Satisfied with purchase.

I have larger rods, a couple in fact, and they mean business. However, they’re heavy. Too heavy for EDC. These are small, and easily slip on my key chain to go unnoticed until needed. Once the coating is removed, they spark just fine. I have a couple of multitools with me, and my pocket knife has a wide back edge I can use to spark, so that’s really not a problem. In an emergency situation, I don’t think putting some scratches on any of these things is going to be my first worry.If you are looking for something that strikes and you can keep with the rods, look at “bayite Striker-Pro High Speed Steel Striker for Ferro Rod Fire Starter,” also on Amazon. They work beautifully, can also hang on your keychain, and you get three for the price.

Note that the are kinda short. Best for use as an emergency flint you want packed into a small emergency kit (as in the SAS survival guide), so for a general use flint you might want a longer one with a handle. But this one definitely works. The pack comes with two. They even come in a nice little metal box you could re-use. You have to scrape through the outer black coating until you get to the shiny part before it will begin to spark. It would be nice if this also came with a small saw-blade for striking, but it doesn't advertise that. You get exactly what it says you get.I would buy again. In fact I may buy again. The only real concern with buying such tiny flint rods is finding a good iron striker for sparking. Cheap scissors work very well. That is my solution. Buy some cheap iron scissors. If you need something smaller, then cut them to size using bolt cutters. Use any edge of the blade to create a spark. This way you don't damage your favorite knife.

The bast part was the 1/4" diameter and 2 inch length. Very few Ferro Rod options are available in the less then 3 inch size, most have a big fat handle. I have one of those Spec Ops "The Wallet" , my goal was to get a Ferro Rod that fits in the mesh pocket, this is the ticket. A 3" ferro rod would have been too long, a 1 inch would have been really hard to use, but the 2" is fantastic.The longer the ferro rod the easier it is to use so a 2.25" would have been the max for "The Wallet", but for the price you get two, a backup for your spouse too. Key rings were not used in my application and removed.Ferro Rods worked great after scraping off the protective black coating, I cut a 12" Saws-All blade down to 2.25" and put a "bur" on the cut edge as the scraper, worked great and have a 2.25" course saw blade in the wallet too.
