Product Description

5col Survival Supply’s Original Auermetall firestarter is the highest quality ferrocerium rod blank available. Manufactured in Austria, these flints were first developed in the 19th century for industrial applications. They are substantially harder than Asian-manufactured ferro rods, and so last significantly longer.

Product Features

• Ferrocerium Rod Blanks can be used as they are, or you can add your own handle or lanyard.
• Easily throw a shower of sparks with any carbon steel striking edge, such as a hacksaw blade, the spine of a knife, or a purpose-made striker.
• This highly pyrophoric firestarter’s magnesium content ensures super-hot sparks to start your fire.
• Made in Austria by Treibacher Industrie for 5col Survival Supply
• These ferro rod fire starters are lacquer-coated to prevent oxidation.
