How to start a fire with FERROFIRE FS124?
1. First of all, the black coating is to protect a ferro rod from oxidation in air, especially in wet air. It needs to be partially scraped off before ignition, please make sure you are striking the inside silver ferrocerium when start a fire.
2. Grab FERROFIRE serrated scraper SA02 with your dominant hand, with its sharp edge against the rod (scraper SA02 tilting about 45 degrees relative to the ferro rod), brace your hand on the ground closer to tinder. You will be keeping scraper SA02 stationery during striking.
3. Grip the ferro rod with your secondary hand, bring it under SA02, pull the ferro rod toward you, making sure that it rubs against SA02’s sharp edge, you will find it so easy to generate hot spark shower.
- We highly recommend using SA02, instead of a knife to start a fire, SA02 is designed to save a knife’s life because the spark’s temperature is up to 5,500°F/3,000℃, hot enough to hurt a knife blade. SA02 can be ordered separately.

I love this firestarter! My wife and son even got in on the action! It worked perfectly and is very well made! I plan on buying several more as gifts for outdoors lovers in our family!
Nancy –
This thing works very well. The rod is nice and thick and easy to hold (women love it too). It throws massive sparks every time and is my go to fire-starter. Good value for money
Kelly –
This fire steel comes with a striker that works better than most others and very easily produces a shower of sparks every time. I highly recommend it!
Jone –
Wow just wow! Though I try, I am not the most outdoorsy or coordinated person but I like to be that mom friend who is prepared for anything whether it be an emergency or a birthday cake (lol haven’t tried that with these but hey who knows might work). These are perfect and so easy to use. I literally used a box knife to scratch the black stuff off till it was shiny and it works like a charm. I’ve already had one match/ lighter free bonfire and look forward to many many more! Thank you!
Alice –
