I got one of these a week or two ago and it is AMAZING !!!!! Usually three to four strikes and the fire is going !
It's definitely a workhorse in the field, Thom.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Please, is this better than Light My Fire Army 2.0 Firesteel? Have you ever tried both to compare? Thanks
Excellent review and really , tutorial also . Using the Ferro rod up close in the manner that you demonstrated isn't something I would have thought of . Thank you for such a well thought out and well done video .
Thank you John, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Enjoy the weekend, be safe and thank you for your support!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
You are very welcome, glad that I could help! 🍻

Thank you for the review. I was going to order one of these but I don't think they have any better spark throwing ability than some of the cheaper ones I have. I appreciate you saving me the money!
Glad that I could help, Schlaznger.

I have been hearing very good things about this company. They are serious about the quality of their brand.
I agree with that, Mark.
I have reviewed a few of their products over the years and was impressed each time. Their customer support has been, top notch, in my experience.
Hopefully they will continue to grow, while maintaining quality. From what I see... That is certainly their goal.
Thanks for sharing your info with us.

Very good review 👍 thanks 😊
Thanks Lego City, I appreciate the kind words.
Enjoy your weekend!

Great job. Thx
Thank you for your support! 🍻
Just received this Fire starter and the lacquer is a bit of a pain of the ass to get off but once you do it is an excellent ferro rod. Looking forward to starting many wood stove fires and campfires as well with it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, RJ.

Great vid
+Emmanuel Muñoz Thank you Emmanuel; I was definitely impressed with this tool. Thanks for the support! -Hg
Can the ferro rod be replaced in the wooden housing?
Also, I see that you're using a Solo stove. Any idea how that compares to say an Emberlit or Bushbox stove? Thanks!
Hello Jerry, the rod cannot be removed. As far as the Solo Stove, I haven't tested the Emberlit nor the Bushbox stove so I cannot give you my opinion. I have done reviews on the Solo Stove Titan & Lite models which are found in this channel if you are interested.
Thanks for commenting & have a great day.

Any flat edge striker is going to cut into your finger after a given period of time if your just trying to light tinder alone.
If your going to use this type of striker, cover it with some hemp-wick. You'll save your finger and have something to burn slow.
Thanks for sharing, RandomUploads.
I appreciate your advice.

nicely done.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!
Have a great day.

"uberleben" branded Chinese rod from eBay. You can get it for $5 -$7. Doesn't mean it doesn't work as you can see. Great review!
Thanks for the heads up, Ivan.
I reviewed this rod over 4 years ago and at the time, Uberleben was the only game in town. I guess this model did quite well since similar versions started popping up all over the place.
Thanks for the info; I'm sure that many on here will be interested in knowing that there are options available.
Thanks again and than you for your support. It is appreciated!

I'd like to know how ferro rods are made, but can't find anything, even on youtube
I don't know anything about the process, Howard.
Have you checked Wikipedia as a starting point?
-Hg
Interesting, looks very similar to the Friendly Swede ferro rods.
Thanks for sharing, jelkel25. I agree!
-Hg
Oui le friendly Swede lui resembles vraiment
Please, is this better than Light My Fire Army 2.0 Firesteel? I mean, does it work better, making it easier to catch stuff on fire etc?
Hello Greek, I don't have the LMF version. But if it's a good ferro rod, then you are good to go.
-Hg
Hit that one with some hemp twine. Better than paracord (for starting fires at least)unless you’ve got that fire paracord but I don’t think it takes a spark well 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the advice! 🍻
-Hg
You pronounce it correct. Unlike in the companies own video
Thanks Peter! :-)
-Hg
Dang. They come with 550 cord now. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for your support, WakeMarine! 🍻

Wasn't suppose to get one for my bday but I did
Happy Birthday!

I hope that helps.

Hi there. What else do you carry in your fire starting kit? :)
Hello Veda, I have various fire starters; since every gadget seems to have a ferro rod attached to it these days. ;-)
But I do keep my trusty cotton balls, that have been heated and combined with Vaseline, as fire starters. They have served me well for years in various climates and scenarios.
How about you? What is your go-to item in your fire-starter kit?
-Hg
What is the width? Thanks.
Hello Ricky, it is 5/16″ (8mm) thick.
There are more specs in my blog post, if you need them:

Hope that helps.

is the company actually German? or they just like the name?..
It is just the name from what I understand. Thank you for commenting & have a great day! -Hg
They are American Boys from Idaho
you can get this exact item shipped from china (without the branding) on it for like $3 dollars /ea from gearbest
+entitled millennial thank you for passing along the info.
-Hg
Link? I don't see it there
Maybe any millennial turd will do that.. personally...I prefer supporting Local ..Uberleben is Idaho based so I support US made and Sold
@@NoldorinPrince they order it from china to lmao
Avoid China, and Sugar, Hard to do but Possible, China is responsible for 90% of poaching of animals worldwide.
Cripes. The striker is crap! Except for a bottle opener I guess. I have to use my knife to get any sparks
Thanks for sharing your experience, Trooper2221.
Are you using the beveled or 90 degree edge to strike? I never had an issue with the striker. I wonder if the manufacturer changed their specs?
I appreciate the feedback.
-Hg
Coach Helder sorry I’m stupid! Lol I wasn’t using the 90 degree side I was using the bottle opener lol I must recant. The striker works very well!! Sorry. It works very well!!!
No problem at all; Glad that I could help!
