The humble Fire Stick is, without a doubt, one of the most fundamental and reliable pieces of Bushcraft equipment available. As used by Ray Mears and the entire Woodlore team for well over a decade, the Fire Stick (or ferrocerium rod, as it is also known) is favoured in Bushcraft and survival situations due to the fact that it can be used even when wet, and can be gripped easily when your hands are cold. When used properly, the Fire Stick will produce a shower of sparks which will light your tinder of choice with ease.

Our Fire Sticks come fitted with a sturdy, moulded plastic handle which is subtly embossed with the Ray Mears 'snowshoe' logo. A hole in the handle allows you to securely fasten your Fire Stick to your belt or knife sheath via a lanyard or length of para cord.

The Fire Stick performs best when used against the back of a knife, but also comes fitted with its own striker.

I’ve been using these for over 20 years and they never fail me. I don’t use any other Ferro Rod. Awesome thanks

I used one of these on the Fundamental Bushcraft course and it became a trustworthy, reliable friend. I wanted to get one as a souvenir of my adventure too because it has the logo on it. There are many ferro rod options out there and if the Woodlore team trust this one then it's a go. Cheaper ones might have a ferro outer layer and a core made from something else. Let the buyer beware. The Woodlore shop is also surprisingly competitively priced against Amazon and the like. Thank you Woodlore team!

Very light and small enough to carry in your pocket or top of rucksack, easy striking action.

Well made product, however found it difficult to create sparks with the metal scraper supplied. This was partly due to the rod coating, which seemed to initially inhibit spark formation. Hence three stars for the product as supplied. However, using an old hacksaw blade as a scraper gave much better results and the spark formation vastly improved as the rod coating was worn away, so currently would give five stars.

Superb, high quality fire steel. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use with plenty of sparks!

The rod works very well, definitely akin to the market leaders. I'm less impressed with the striker though as it doesn't work as well as the strikers that come with rival products.
