Ceramic Ferro Rod Striker Mini Size EDC Survival Kit for Fire Starter

We use ferro rods all the time for lighting fires and I had purchased the Bayite 3.14" keychain ferro rods to go on our key ring. I wanted a striker that was small, that didn't take up space. This is for emergencies and I don't mind having to remove it if I really needed to use it. The combination of the keychain ferro rods with this striker is perfect. The striker has a very good edge and it probably works better than any other striker except it is small and you have to be coordinated to stay on the ferro rod, but this was what I wanted.For hiking and larger ferro rods I use larger strikers.

I confess I was skeptical about using a ceramic striker with a ferro rod. Would it work? (Yes, it works better than the spine of most knives.) Would it break in my hand? (So far, so good.) And I love how light and small these are. I'm a guy with fairly large hands. (It's not bragging if it's true.) And I have no trouble using these strikers at all. There's a length of paracord through the top of the ferro rod I use, and I've attached one of these strikers to the other end of that line. Stopper knots keep everything together while still letting me put things where they need to be.I keep the whole thing, along with some drier lint I use for tinder, in a plastic Narwhal Co. screw-top tube (which originally contained pen refills), in the "emergency" kit I use for backpacking. That's a "bayite 4 Inch Survival Ferrocerium Drilled Flint Fire Starter" in the photo if you're curious. All this makes a pretty nice package I've used several times, just to make sure everything works.

Awesome 90 degree striking edges. I made a ferro rod necklace with this and it looks pretty cool. Mini ferro rod and mini striker took a bit to get used to but it works fine. So sharp I accidentally scraped a little chunk off my knuckle but it was user error. I now use these tied to a partner mini ferro rod as a back up striker.

About the size of a fingernail which is perfect. They work well with any size ferro rod but they are best with the 1" micro rods and they are just as small go both can go with you anywhere.

I have one in every car and travel pack with a giant fero rod attached by cord... you never know when you might need it.

These are great strikers for your Ferro rod. The make great sparks and are much easier to hold onto and has a much broader edge than a lot of other wearable sizes. I like that they have 6 usable sides for striking. It's not likely that they will dull being made of ceramic, but it's nice knowing that there will always be a sharp edge. You can also use it as a knife sharpener if needed. Highly recommend.

I keep this and a two inch fero rod on the start of laces on every pair of shoe,boots sneakers alway have emergency fire starting capability wherever I am.

as advertised. good quality.

Too small
