My first ferro rod came with my Gerber knife. It is really cool that Gerber made a sharp area on the back of the knife specifically for use with the ferro rod.

Same here, got given a BG ultimate knife. Not sure why everyone seems to hate those knives , the orange is bit bright but you grow to appreciate that it's easy to see when you put it down.

@lesstraveledpath 3 года назад

Having the edge of the spine be a sharp edge is more important than the actual angle. And rounding over of the edge of the spine will dramatically decrease the effectiveness. I actually file the back of my knives to make the "leading edge" when scraping a slightly acute angle (87deg ish). I find that it is sharper, better for scraping hardwoods, and better on a ferro rod. This does give the knife a "handedness preference" when scraping. This is the same basic angle I use when sharpening a cabinet scraper.

@joelbenoitthewanderingbiso4976 3 года назад

don't know why one would want to "scrape" hardwoods anyway.

@leighrate 3 года назад

Having a pre-made flame extender like cotton wool & petroleum jelly (CWAPJ) can make life enormously easier. Fat wood is great, but I personally have found that a small dab of CWAPJ to catch the spark rather helpful. And no, that's not a reflection of my skill level, it's more an appreciation of the material limitations.

@kejadventures241 3 года назад

Not to mention fat would makes all of your stuff very sticky. these videos don't do enough Justice explaining how messy fat pine is. Especially if I got to eat later, fatwood is a big No-No with a knife.

@chapstickit 3 года назад

Question about technique: Should you aim to draw the full length of the rod when creating sparks to avoid developing a "canoe" where the middle of the ferro rod is more worn down than the tip? Or does it really not matter?

Nice demo. Don't know why some instructors still teach that the striker (knife) has to be carbon steel to work with a ferro rod. I think they get confused with traditional flint & steel. At least you nicely showed how well a stainless steel knife with a 90º spine works with the ferro rod.

Mr Canterbury, Your videos, are as always, awesome. I have a request, if you are interested. On the lines of self reliance, have you ever considered making a pair of shoes/boots out of an old tire? No minimum specifications or anything. Just a useful pair of footwear that is closed toe. Thanks again for all you do.

@Doxymeister 3 года назад

Now that I think about it, that's a neat idea. In a survival situation, footwear isn't going to last forever, and you must take care of your feet if you are to survive.

Fun fact: if you heat it until it's glowing red then throw it, it makes a pretty neat "firework like" explosion

ok, make a video now, and prove it, since it's not a fact yet.

@RustyGunn7 3 года назад

I've heard people describe heating a bic lighter 'flint' until it's very hot, then throwing it. Supposed to explode in sparks. But to heat up a large ferro rod? Yeah, video it, dude.

@gierhedd75 3 года назад

Haha we used to take our empty BIC lighters apart, wrap the flint in the spring, and heat it up with another lighter, and toss them.

@Leopardosx 3 года назад

You can also shave some of the material from the rod into the tinder. This works great if the rod you have is short and small diameter.

@RideAlongside 3 года назад

I’ve also heard of a technique to put the sharp edge of the blade down on the surface with the tinder, then take the ferro rod with index finger and pull across the top 90 degree spine. What are your thoughts on that Dave?

It works fairly well

@kejadventures241 3 года назад

Because ferro rods tend to be an aspect of the survival/Bushcraft community which is people who like to beat on and abuse their knives. And putting a Ferro rod in a knife would mean there's a large void in the handle which does not do well with impact and rattling. That being said not everyone uses a ferro rod with a belt knife, I think that combo is a little less common than people think.

Man that thing throws out some fireballs! Stainless knife won't work with flint my understanding?

@maxpinson5002 3 года назад

Won't work with real flint rock, like you would find in the wild and use to knap arrowheads and cutting tools and such. When you use it for making a spark, the hard rock is shaving bits of the steel from the knife blade that combust. The opposite is true with a ferro rod. The sharp edge of the striking surface is shaving away bits of combustible metal from the ferro rod to make fire

@joelbenoitthewanderingbiso4976 3 года назад

no, cause he's not using flint, he's using a ferro rod, to different things. Though yes a stainless steel knife will work on a ferro rod.
