How come everyone here is talking about ferro rods? I am putting a firesteel, not a ferro rod, in the knife.
A firesteel is a piece of high carbon steel tempered to HRC 60 that, when struck with a hard rock, makes sparks capable of lighting charred materials and a few mushrooms. Less efficient than a lighter, but very low maintenance. (Along with the history)
A ferro rod is an inefficient mall ninja device that wears out in a year and both costs and weighs the same as three Bics
Look up the firesteel river, there is no way it was named after the modern “flints”
