A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
This Kombat UK ferro rod does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a decent-sized ferro rod that throws proper sparks without the fancy price tag. At 8cm long, it's got plenty of material for thousands of fires, and it'll do the same job as those expensive bushcraft ferro rods that cost three times as much.
This isn't one of those tiny ferro rods that's awkward to use. At 8cm x 8mm, it's a proper size that gives you something to grip and plenty of striking surface. You'll get about 4000 strikes out of it, which is years of camping and bushcraft use. The sparks are hot and reliable - everything you need for getting fires going.
Here's the thing - ferro rods all work the same way. This one throws the same hot sparks as those fancy branded ones, but without paying for marketing and packaging. It's honest kit that does the job properly. Sometimes the best gear is the stuff that just works without making a big song and dance about it.
If you're getting into bushcraft or want reliable backup fire starting for camping, this ferro rod is spot on. It's forgiving enough for beginners but reliable enough for experienced users. The size makes it easy to handle, and you won't be worried about using it because it didn't cost a fortune.

Fine dry grass, birch bark, or commercial tinder all work well. Ferro rod sparks are hot enough to light most dry materials.
