Ferro rods are up in the shop in time for Christmas. Maybe not my most exciting project but these little guys are 5/16 inch diameter and a little over 2 in long beyond the handle. All the handles are mule deer antler and come with a loop for hanging or can be replaced buy a cord of your choosing. www.etsy.com/shop/LostWorldCrafts #Ferro rod #survival #survival gear #Firestarter
