Ignition of suitable tinder couldn't be easier.Nice and chunky (8mm x 80mm) so 10 should last the rest of my life!I've tried scraping them with various sharp things, and had no surprising failures. A shard of flint (stone) or broken bottle (glass) will do the trick nicely if you lose your knife (use the 90deg spine to save messing up your blade edge).Remember that it's the sharpness and hardness of the scraper/striker that matters, not what it's made of!Can be drilled *** BUT *** only very, very slowly.If you drill through this stuff (at your own risk), be aware that the resulting swarf will of course ignite easily and violently!Best done far away from flammable things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At this price, can't fault them. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 April 2018* For the money these are fantastic. Whilst they might not give quite as good sparks as some of the "off the shelf" items, they work and work well.I buy these to use with student groups so that they can make their own unique handes for them and learn to light fire from a spark. They do have a protective layer on the outside which hinders performance a bit the first few times but this quickly wears off. The striker does need to be quite hard - for the students I use a short length of hacksaw blade (the toothed side) but for my own I use a piece of HSS tool steel or the back of decent knife. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ferro rod blanks *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 June 2020* This product came a day early. Very impressed as I thought they would give off little spark. I was wrong they are going to be perfect for my bushcraft fire lighting teaching as they give off a decent amount of sparks with little effort. I will be attaching handles on and have used flint as a striker. Cost was very cheap but will do the job very well. I will be buying more.
