Description

A WILDERNESS WORKHORSE – The simpler the better, an idea we followed when making the Überleben Kräftig Fire Starter. Nothing fancy, just a solid 1/2″ thick ferrocerium rod to get the sparks flying. It’s going to look like overkill, but is that a bad thing?
BEST FERRO BLEND, PERIOD — Our trademark Sånft-korr ferrocerium blend is an ideal balance that boasts both softness & durability. Ignite any fire with ease at any altitude you end up at or in any weather you get caught in, even when wet
HIGH-TEMPERATURE SPARKS – The reason you select a ferro rod over standard flint is the ease at which it sparks and, more importantly, for molten showers of up to 5,500F/3,000C to rain down and make sure your tinder sets ablaze when you wish to have it most
WITH LANYARD & MULTI-TOOL – All rods come with a shock-cord lanyard for a couple of securing options and a 6-function multi-tool that serves as a straight-edge striker, tinder scraper, map scale, ruler, hex wrench, and most importantly – a bottle opener
AVAILABLE IN 2 DIFFERENT LENGTHS – The Kräftig Fire Starter comes to be had with 2 length options: 5″ / 12.7cm or 8″ / 20.32cm long. Both have a 1/2-inch / 12.5mm thickness so that it will provide 20,000+ strikes. Not our lightest rod, but our best one
