Review: They're Ferro rods, what did you expect? - They seem to work fine. I actually bought these small once for 2 reasons. One is that the cost was low, so you can give them away without feeling like you're reaching into your wallet. The main reason I bought them is that I wanted to keep one on my keyring (and a big fat one would be too bulky). These are the same diameter as the working end of my Boy Scout Ferro rod. I don't use the Ferro rods the same way many do, I do single strikes into tinder. So I neither need a long rod, nor a fat one to make it wear longer. I cut the rod in half, so it's shorter yet. Then took 2 electrical ring terminals of an appropriate size, and JB Welded, then crimped (while still wet) the rod into the ring terminal. It's a good size sitting on my keyring, and still long enough to strike a fire.
Review: Just right for what we needed - These were perfect for a Valentine's gift we made for our nature school kids. We put together a little survival pouch to attach to their backpacks that included these, some fire starting materials, a mini knot tying booklet and some Paracord. We had to put together close to 60 pouches so the cost was just right. They are a great size to always have in your backpack or first aid kit and work with any metal knife blade. It takes a couple strikes to get the top coat of black off but then they easily make sparks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They're Ferro rods, what did you expect?
*by C***K on July 17, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just right for what we needed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small rod, big sparks
*by T***R on August 9, 2025*

I added a highly reflective lanyard with a strip duct tape, about 1/2" wide. I'm sure you know that duct tape is an excellent fire starter. I made cuts in the end of the duct tape about 1'2" long so it could easily be torn into narrow strips for a bird's nest that will catch a spark. This keeps things together and adds purchase to the rod and small ceramic striker. Together, this weighs 0.4 oz or 10 grams.
