Description

The FireSteel.com Micro FireSteel™ is is our smallest FireSteel Rod.  The rod is ultra thin - only 3/32 of an inch in diameter, two inches long, and weighs just 0.053 of an ounce.  Put another way, there are over 300 Micro FireSteel.com FireSteels in every pound!

Made of the same special high sparking ferrocerium formula used by all of its larger FireSteel.com FireSteel relatives, the Micro FireSteel™ can be utilized to make fires when space is at an absolute premium.

Because it is very thin, extra care is needed when scraping it.*

    Great little rods! Please never stop selling.

    Posted by David Deutsch on Nov 12th 2023

    I saw the price went up slightly. Still good pricing as I cannot find this size around domestically. Rods work well! You need to apply slight pressure to get heavy sparks but that’s expected. No globs but long lasting and accurate size I am happy with. Thanks!

    Perfect Size and Use

    Posted by Greg Dreelin on Nov 28th 2022

    I needed something that was small enough to fit in mini Altoids case and these worked perfect. I did a test of them over the weekend and got a good spark to start a fire outdoors. Great product!

    Firesteel Micro 3/32"

    Posted by David Sachs on Feb 28th 2021

    This thing throws really good sparks! The trick is to support it with your finger and draw it backwards against the striker. The tinder should be on the back side of the striker. Practice a few times and as long as you are using decent tinder, it works every time, easily. I bought these because they fit (with some length trimming) in a Swiss Army Knife corkscrew PERFECTLY. Also appreciate the eco-respect the company shows in their packaging. These are good people with a great product line.

    Perfect for lanyards

    Posted by Dan D on Jan 24th 2021

    This fire steel easily fits into the sleeve of 550 paracord, if you purchase “firecord” and seal the fire steel inside you will always have what you need to make a fire. Then make your knife lanyard out of the paracord with the. Firs steel sealed inside, it is light, easy to carry, perfect for edc. It’s about the size of one match with the ability to make the same amount of fires as a box of matches.
