TOP TIPS =  If you have not used before then opt for the largest thickest rod you can afford as will be easier to use. Please note like alot of ferro rods these flints come with a protective film over them. So when you start you dont get best performance until a few scraps have taken off the outer layer. This is when a broken hacksaw blade makes a really good striker. Then you will find with practice and use you will get the best perforance from your rod. With practice and trying different strikers and tinder materials you will soon master these rods. Check out Youtube (Search "How to use a Ferro Rod") to see how its done. Try a cotton wool ball as your tinder - GREAT FUN.
