## Description

This ain't your daddy's fire steel, but it could be your Grandson's someday. Foretrekker's Heavy Duty Fire Steel is unlike any flint you've seen before. The extra long design gives more contact with your striker per stroke, maximizing spark buildup, projection, and heat. You'll notice the difference when you ignite even difficult tinder with ease. The extra thickness means it will last far longer than any other fire steel on the market. With included Fire Cord and striker, you're guaranteed to have a flame, even in wet conditions. This will be the most dependable fire steel you've ever owned.

## Features

- Extra long stroke means a MASSIVE shower of sparks.
- WIll last for tens of thousands of strikes. Superior to flint in every way.
- 13 inches of cordage with an ignitable center strand for guaranteed fire in any conditions.
- Striker included. Designed and assembled in USA.
- This is Foretrekker's most serious fire steel, for serious hiking, camping, bushcrafting, and survival.

    Pricey, but what is a fire worth in wet conditions ?
  

*by O***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2016*

Great ferro rod but I deducted one star because I had to replace a very short  lanyard with new para cord, I wonder how much money they save, is it worth a star lol.

    Good Job. Fire works display!
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2017*

This is the best. Went camping in cold weather this winter. Torch lighter and regular lighter didn't light because the fuel was too cold, Busted out the big Foretrekker ferrium rod and we had combustion. Sparks like 4th of July. I gave my lanyard a quick shot of florescent orange spray paint so that it was easier to find if I put it on the ground. My camping buddies want them now, too.

    WORKS FLAWLESSLY!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2016*

I'm incredibly impressed with this product! After my friend told me about his I had to get one! Sparks EASILY fly off the bar and I don't have to worry about having a knife or additional materials on me to start a fire because you have the fire starting cord as a lanyard! Weighs 4.8 ounces and makes a great addition to a serious hiker/campers bushcraft kit!Check out my unboxing video-[...]
