Review on The Friendly Swede Ferro Rods: The Ultimate Fire Starter Survival Tool For Camping & Hiking! by Andrew Schobinger

The handle on the rod makes a huge difference and is very comfortable to hold. The provided chain is long enough to scrape full length and help keep them together nicely. I may use paracord shell as a covering for the chain to prevent rattling. Unlike other rods I've used previously, this scrapes smooth and doesn't leave behind bumps or ridges. It also gives off lots of spark and in testing on tissue paper, it caught on 2nd attempt. Bought two, may buy a couple more as backups. After researching, don't go for the ones that claim 10,000 scrapes or more as you want the material to be softer and allow lots of spark. Speaking from experience, this is the one you want.
