Review: This is a huge rod (Ferro)!! - First let me just say, this is a very, nice, thick ferro rod. I smile everytime I hold it! It's a joy to hold! The pleasure I derive from sliding my striker down It's long, thick, shaft and showering the large tinder bundle with hot, burning sparks is amazing. I have heated up many bundles with this rod. If you like to stay hot, buy one today, you will be pleased! Seriously, it works great! Review: This thing is big enough to become an heirloom. - This really is a pretty nice ferro rod, the protective coating is thick and takes a bit to scrape off but produces a good shower of sparks with the included striker. I replaced the cord that came with it with a long bit of Titan Survivor cord tied in an electrician's knot so I'll always have tinder and fishing line with it. The handle it's attached to is sturdy and shaped well, it fills my large hand and gives a decent grip in wet conditions, way better than my previous 1/2"x6" rod. One thing to think about, it's heavy, not your everyday carry type of ferro rod. ## Features - EXTRA LARGE - The 3/4" by 5 1/2" long Fat Boy ferro rod weighing in at 11oz is more than twice the Size of a 1/2" Diameter Ferro Rod. - HIGHLY EFFECTIVE - Not all ferro rods are made the same.

These will easily start a thermite reaction going. I use a 10 inch Nicholson coarse file as a striker. Won't last as long but that makes giant longer lasting sparks. It's why I bought 2 of these .. **Q: how much does it weigh** A: Item description says 8.8 oz. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a huge rod (Ferro)!! *by W***G on November 20, 2022* First let me just say, this is a very, nice, thick ferro rod.
