Can anyone tell me about the "Ferro Cerium Firesteel Flint Rod"?? Is this something that is easily broken??
I am thinking of building a few knives and including a Firesteel in its own pocket on the case. That way if you got the knife you got the ability to start a fire, anytime, anyplace!!
I don't know a lot about them but I do consider that fire is one of the best assets if not the best, when in the field!!
I know years ago I broke thru the ice on a river back home. Once ashore the first thing I did was start a fire and build a temporary wind break. Then I shucked the wet clothes and began to dry out me and the clothes I had on. If it hadn't been for the ability to start a fire that day, well lets say it might have been a real bad day!!
So what can you tell me about the firesteels are they durable??
