Its 5\/16\" ferrocerium rod throws sparks even after a soaking, and when it eventually wears down you simply unthread it and thread in a replacement rather than discarding the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is CNC machined in-house in the USA from high-grade 6061 aluminum and anodized in one of Exotac's signature colors. Pull the top cap and the interior becomes a sealed capsule for two quickLIGHT tabs, water purification tablets, or the tinder of your choice — which is why it turns up so often in searches for a waterproof ferro rod, a survival fire starter, and a bushcraft fire kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for bushcrafting\u003c\/strong\u003e — sized and shaped to carry in a knife sheath ferro loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour knife is your striker\u003c\/strong\u003e — use the squared spine of a bushcraft knife to throw sparks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/16\" ferrocerium rod\u003c\/strong\u003e — works when wet and is fully replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTinder capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — the body holds two quickLIGHT tabs (included), iodine tablets, or your own tinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnodized 6061 aluminum body\u003c\/strong\u003e — CNC machined in-house in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard and spare o-rings included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExotac\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efireROD V2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEXO-FIREROD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFerrocerium rod (replaceable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStriker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpine of your knife (not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA high-grade 6061 aluminum, anodized\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinder capsule holds two quickLIGHT tabs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife sheath ferro loop or lanyard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlaze Orange, Olive Drab, Gunmetal, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003equickLIGHT tinder, spare o-ring set, lanyard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you use the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD by its aluminum body and scrape the exposed ferrocerium rod with the squared spine of your knife. Many bushcraft knives leave the spine edges sharp specifically so they can serve as a striker. Aim the sparks into prepared tinder and the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD will light it quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD work when wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Ferrocerium sparks whether it is dry or soaked, so the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD keeps working in rain and after immersion. The o-ring sealed tinder capsule in the body of the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD also keeps your tinder dry, which is usually the part that fails in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ferro rod on the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD replaceable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is. The 5\/16\" rod threads into the body, so when it wears down you unthread the spent rod from the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD and thread in a replacement rod. That is the whole point of the design — you keep the machined aluminum tool and only replace the consumable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fits inside the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD tinder capsule?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the top cap of the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD and you will find a compartment sized for two quickLIGHT tabs, which are included. It will equally take water purification tablets, fatwood shavings, or any compact tinder you prefer to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD come with a striker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo separate striker ships with the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD, and that is deliberate — the tool was co-developed with the Habilis crew to be struck with the knife you are already carrying. If your knife has rounded spine edges, a dedicated scraper or the back of a saw blade will also work with the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD is CNC machined in-house by Exotac in the United States from high-grade 6061 aluminum, then anodized in one of four signature colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can buy the Exotac fireROD V2 EXO-FIREROD at Going Gear, an authorized Exotac dealer.
