Practical and looks good

This an awesome emergency ferrocene rod! I have my primary fire kit and my backup fire kit with me when I am backpacking in the bush. However, if for some reason those 2 are unavailable for whatever reason, I always have this little guy on me for emergencies! Awesome piece of kit for any backpacker or bushcrafter out there! Highly recommended! Uberleben makes beautiful stuff! PS: I shortened it up a little by tying an Overhand Loop Knot at the top. However, if doing this be careful you do not strangle yourself when hiking! This allows my liquid filled map compass to hang below this piece of kit on a separate piece of cordage. My bear horn hangs above this piece of kit on yet another piece of cordage. This setup prevents the 3 items from banging into one another as they are all at different heights. Furthermore, this gives me modularity in my kit setup as I do not have to wear all 3 items if I only require 1 or 2 of them, since they are all on different pieces of cordage. Plus, a little extra cordage can never hurt.

This is my second purchase from Modern Outdoor Life and I'm just as happy with this Leicht Fire Starter Necklace as I am with the large Kräftig ferro rod. I like this necklace because it's not only a fantastic way to daily-carry a backup ferro rod, it's also quite stylish and easy to adjust. The two safety clasps will detach from each-other with a little prying and will allow you to shorten the paracord to the length that you would prefer. For me, I took about two inches off each end and burn the ends with a lighter to create the hardened cord so the two plastic caps won't slide off. Just snap them back together and your back in business. As for actual use, I have tried this unit out on a small cotton ball that had been caked in Vaseline. After removing the lite coating of black protectant, I was able to get the cotton ball lit after a few swipes on the small ferro rod. I do have big hands, so finding the easiest way to grip the necklace and rod was interesting at first, but not difficult. Don't expect a massive shower of sparks with this little ferro rod, you want to be prepared with your tinder, but you will get a good hot fire going in no-time. The provided scrapper works well and looks good around your neck (I've already had some positive complements on it just in the last few days) The one thing I would possibly change is to remove the teeth from the scrapper and provide a simple-sharp squared edge for scrapping. I can see the teeth digging into the ferro rod if this were to get used in excess over time and shorten the lifespan, but it would still take a very long time and it's not an issue at all..just an observation. I'm going to take this out to my property and give it a better review in a real-world settings. I'll update this in the near future with my findings and thank you Modern Outdoor Life for providing us with great looking products and very reasonable prices!

Very durable and strikes well. People always point out how cool it looks and are blown away when I show them it can make sparks too. I've used it to make a few campfires now; keep in mind it's a bit difficult to start a fire from sparks if you don't have the know-how. Otherwise, a very cool and useful necklace. I personally like my necklaces to be a bit tighter on the neck, and you can see I took off the clamp and tied a tightening system. Very easy and I'd suggest doing the same if you like adjustable necklaces. Many people ask if it's sharp and if it might stab my neck, but I've had no issues with it poking me. It's actually fairly dull, only sharp enough to strike the flint. I like the design and the paracord is durable, flint can be changed out as well if it were to run out. Waterproof of course, I never take it off. If you're looking for a cool, durable, and useful necklace, look no further.
