Top Sellers TKC: Firesteel Ferrocerium Rod – Earth Camo G10 Handle

Description

The Architect Knives Custom Firesteels are the large Swedish style firesteels with custom handles produced from man-made and natural materials. The handles are large enough so you can get a firm grip even when wearing heavy gloves but not so large that it will interfere with most carry methods such as a firesteel loop on a sheath. The handle is shaped to provide a secure and comfortable grip and features a generous lanyard hole.

Includes Paracord Lanyard and Striker

These custom made firesteels use ferrocerium rods. The rod is 3/8″ in diameter and it will fit in LT Wright Knives sheaths and other ferro rod holders that have a 3/8″ firesteel loop.

Please be aware that the color and patterns may vary on firesteel handles due to layering differences in the manufacturing process.

These rods are durable and will last up to 12,000 strikes.

They produce a 4,000 – 5,500 degree spark and are designed to work in adverse conditions even when wet.

Please note: The color texture and grain pattern on natural handle materials will vary.
