Heritage Estate Endurance Fire Steel

20,000+ strikes · Bare rod

Twenty thousand strikes. That's a fire every night for over fifty years. This 5-inch, half-inch-diameter ferrocerium rod is built for longevity — the kind of tool you buy once. Comes with a 4-inch HSS (high-speed steel) scraper that throws monster sparks and a generous 12-inch length of waxed jute tinder. No handle — this is a purist's rod, bare and functional. Pair it with your own handle build or carry it raw. Either way, it'll outlast everything else in your pack.

Our longest-lasting bare ferro rod — 20,000+ strikes with HSS scraper and 12-inch waxed jute tinder. For folk who measure fire starters in decades, not seasons.
