Description

Overview

Taking its name from the ancient Basque word Su Harri (Fire Stone), the SUHAR Ferro Rod is designed as a dependable fire-starting tool for any outdoor environment. Built with high-quality ferrocerium and paired with a hardened steel striker, it delivers consistent sparks, even in harsh weather. Whether you are lighting a fire in the rain,or preparing tinder in a damp forest, this ferro rod is engineered to perform when it counts.

Premium Materials

Every rod is built around a high-yield ferrocerium alloy engineered for superior ignition. This specific composition generates showers of molten sparks reaching 3,000°C (5,430°F), hot enough to ignite stubborn or damp tinder easily. Unlike softer generic mixes that degrade quickly, our blend strikes the perfect balance between longevity and aggressive spark output. This technical core is anchored in a handle of natural Basque Beech wood, chosen for its warmth and grip even in freezing conditions. We finish each piece with our signature blend of walnut stain and beeswax, creating a durable layer that ages beautifully.

Precision-Made Striker

The hardened steel striker is crafted for clean, aggressive sparks. Its edges are ground to the right angle to maximize friction on the ferro rod without damaging it. Beyond striking, the tool also works as a tinder scraper, bottle opener, and map ruler, making it a compact and versatile companion in the field.

Performance in the Wild

This ferro rod is built to function in real survival conditions. It throws a bright, high-temperature spark capable of igniting fatwood, jute, birch bark, cattail fluff, charcloth, and other natural tinders. Because ferrocerium works even when wet, you can rely on it in rain, snow, and wind. With proper technique, it will provide thousands of strikes over its lifetime.

Handcrafted in the Basque Country

Every unit is made and finished one by one in a small workshop in the Basque Country. This slow, hands-on process ensures that no two pieces are exactly the same, and each one carries its own character and wood patterns.

Built for Bushcraft and Everyday Use

The SUHAR Ferro Rod is designed for outdoorsmen, hikers, bushcrafters, campers, and anyone who values reliable tools. It is compact enough to carry daily yet powerful enough for demanding trips in the mountains or forest. Whether you are practicing skills, teaching beginners, or preparing for emergencies, this rod gives you a dependable fire source you can trust.
