Badger Outdoor Fire Rod Flint
Fire Rod flint is a practical and handy tool for lighting a fire quickly and efficiently. Thanks to its simplicity and ability to generate an intense stream of sparks, it is an ideal choice for camping, survival trips or emergency situations. It allows you to easily light a campfire, start a hiking or gas stove, providing a reliable source of heat and allowing you to prepare meals in the field.
Ferrocerium - a reliable source of fire
The flint uses a solid ferrocerium rod - a material that is a special metal alloy - with a length of 67 mm and a diameter of 8 mm, which guarantees long life and easy handling. Just one vigorous pull of the attached spark igniter produces a dense stream of sparks, which effectively ignites the prepared fire starter. This action is possible due to the oxidation of cerium contained in the rod, which leads to its self-ignition.
The rod generates sparks with a temperature of 3000 degrees C, which makes it possible to effectively light a fire even in the rain or in low temperatures.
Easy to use, Spark igniter with bottle opener
The set includes a metal spark igniter in the form of a serrated plate, which not only effectively generates sparks, but also acts as a bottle opener. This practical solution increases its versatility in the field.
The small size of the flint allows easy storage - it fits in a trousers pocket, a backpack compartment or a small bag. Using the tool is comfortable both with gloves and bare hands, making it practical for any situation.

I recommend this fire starter for both adults and young people, who can be taught how to use such equipment. Very good value for money. The set includes a practical metal striker on a string, so you don't have to use other tools, such as a knife, to create sparks.
-
The Badger Outdoor Fire Rod works great both on forest trips and for everyday carrying in a backpack – in case you need to start a fire. It is solid, comfortable to use, and has an affordable price. I definitely recommend it!
-
A great solution for people who don't have a lighter with them. The fire striker is included in the set, so it's always at hand. It also contains a ruler with centimetre markings and a string that secures the elements from getting lost.
-
The product was used only a few times and it's already fallen apart 🙄 I do not recommend buying it! I was tempted by the low price, but it's not worth the frustration. Fortunately, my son had a better solution.
-
Simple and effective product, I have nothing to complain about. The only downside is the edges on the striker – they have different shapes, so not all of them are equally comfortable to use for striking sparks (it is also possible that this is due to my lack of skill in using the tool).
-
Durable fire starter at a good price. It produces plenty of sparks, which makes it easy to light a fire even in unfavourable conditions. The sparks can easily ignite kindling. I definitely recommend it to bushcraft enthusiasts.
-
The flint and its knife for making sparks arrived well packaged and without any damage. Not tested yet. It will go into the emergency kit.
-
The fire striker fulfils its function – it works flawlessly. The workmanship could be a bit better and more solid, but for this price you can't complain. I recommend it.
-
I have had a hard time getting any sparks from this using the included striker so I would recommend using a knife or something else. For the price it's acceptable to buy and try to see how you get on lighting fires and if that works for you then maybe spend a bit more money on something that is higher quality especially if it's something you're going to rely on.
-
It's definitely suitable for learning, however the plate is of poor quality and the rod often falls out of the holder. As a first fire starter for learning, it's okay to check if you'll actually need it or if you'd prefer to stick with classic matches or a lighter.
-
A solid and uncomplicated fire starter, I recommend using a knife to spark it, as the included metal plate generates sparks, but not very intense ones. Unfortunately, the downside is that the fire starter can slide out of the plastic handle.
-
The fire starter serves its purpose and for this price it is completely sufficient. It is intended for specific tasks and accomplishes them exactly, it is simple to store and use.
-
The fire steel is really very good. As always, the shop and the seller impress me with good quality and fast delivery. I tested the fire steel in the wind, with cold tinder and even after immersing it in water – everything works perfectly. Clear recommendation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
-
The fire starter matches its price, but its durability is a drawback – after a short period of use, it started to break, so you need to be careful. Nevertheless, for this price, it works very well.
