6mm x 75mm Ferrocerium Firesteel Rod

The 6mm x 75mm Ferrocerium Firesteel Rod is an essential piece of hardware for bushcraft, outdoor survival, and everyday carry (EDC) emergency kits. Engineered to produce a dense shower of high-temperature sparks at approximately 3,000°C (5,400°F), this ferro rod reliably ignites tinder such as birch bark, char cloth, cotton wool, or fine shavings regardless of damp or windy conditions.

Measuring 75mm in length with a 6mm diameter, this blank rod provides the ideal balance between low weight and longevity—offering thousands of strikes in a highly packable form factor. Whether you are building a custom wooden handle, slotting it into a sheath loop, or stashing it directly in an Altoids tin or survival pouch, it ensures fire on demand when gas lighters or matches fail.

Key Features:

• High-Pyrophoric Alloy: Cast from premium ferrocerium alloy to yield shower-like, long-burning sparks with minimal striker friction.

• Compact & Lightweight: At 6mm x 75mm, it fits seamlessly into field kits, survival tins, knife sheath firesteel loops, and pocket organizer kits.

• All-Weather Reliability: Performs effortlessly in wet, freezing, or high-altitude environments where matches and butane lighters freeze or sputter.

• DIY Friendly: Raw blank cylinder design makes it simple to drill, epoxy, or fit into custom timber, antler, or micarta handles.
