One of the most important skills you must have in the wild or in a survival situation is the ability to build and maintain fire.  Ferrocerium rods (commonly known as firesteel, flint rods, or ferro rods) combined with a good steel knife, are a great way to always have the tools needed to create fire with you. Scraping the rod with a piece of hard steel(as long as it has a good sharp & hard edge), such as the back of your knife, a hacksaw blade, will emit long lasting sparks of over 3000 degrees.
Ferrocerium rods are covered at the factory with a dark colored veneer to retard oxidation. This veneer is easy to scrape off in 2 or 3 scrapes to expose a shiny metal surface, which when vigorously scraped with a sharp knife or other object, will provide a shower of sparks.
For the best results, remember that you are literally scraping flakes of metal off of the flint. Position your steel at a more or less right angle and, bearing down hard, scrape as much of the full length of the rod as your grip will permit. If you can brace the end of the flint against a solid object like a rock, you can get a more vigorous spark. Char cloth, hemp rope, cotton balls, dryer lint, dry grass are good tinder. You can use them to start your fire easily.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and contact us to resolve the issue before opening a case.
Thanks a lot!
