Introduction to Ferrocerium

Cool never tried glass before, I can show up my scouts now. Your awesome keep up the content.

Thank you for the good upload, very helpful.

Good video on the ferro rod thanks for sharing

Thanks for the great information! I always thought you had to have some sort of metal to get sparks from a ferro rod... never knew anything sharp would work (REALLY neat to see the glass trick). PS- Glad to see your bout with Bell's Palsey has subsided. :)

Outstanding video brother. This should dispel lots of myths all on one fell swoop!

I am glad you cleared this up, people get very confused about this. In fact, I still haven't watched a series of "Survivor" where they aren't hacking away at their magnesium and ferocirrium block to my frustration, only to wonder why their "fire steel" hasn't got anything left lol! Good video. And Subbed buddy, if you get a chance, get me back. I am trying to develop some bushcraft products myself! Peace VOTED!

Awesome person - backs his products - we have purchased a number of items from Mikhail - nice video! - Elaine

Dude knows the difference between flint and chert, awesome

Awesome brother I will have to get me one of them.

Was looking for a good ferro rod video. Found you. Your channel looks awesome. Subscribed!

very informative and thanks for the video ! didnt know you can use any hard sharp edge to strike ferrocerium

Cool man just came across your channel n subbed, great content!

Ok. Thanks for the demonstration. I was under the belief that only a carbon material would create a spark. Now I know. Thanks for clearing that up.

Very nice I just come across. And even seen a friend dark matter here so if he watches you your worth a sub he's got great taste in content and people and you made a good video. I've been learning and I no I need to learn more. I've had a small one and med one have to me as blessing I like them my next step is find a bigger one to try. Well not just a bigger one ide love to start a collection like others and try different sizes and makers see what I like then do a video of all and share what I've learned. I'll go check yours my groups funds are out right now but having a big sale real soon cause I'm moving and it's time to raise money for my kids non profit fishing group. So I'll let you no when I can get one to support your channel I've got about 4 I want to try. You have a good week god bless.

nice video brother . who dont like to play with a ferro rod lol . god bless

Flint is found all over the world, in this country, Georgetown Texas has some of the finest flints in the world. I have been a flintknapper for 60 years and have knapped flint from all around the world.

Pretty good Mikhail! A few thoughts... it is pronounced "fair-oh-sear-ee-um" with the "sear" as in searing a steak. No worries though. So many get that wrong, especially in America, that I expect pronouncing is as in "share" will soon become a recognized variant pronunciation. A few additional scrapers that have worked for me are the shells of fresh water river clam, oyster, black mussel and green mussel. Also tin cans and sandpaper. You covered the rest and did very well IMHO by repeatedly pointing out that "hard and sharp enough" is our rule of thumb.

Flint is across the world here in NYS there is a flint mine in athens NY look it up

Sir can you tell me how to make one because I can't find it in my area I will be thankful

Ferrocerium? Never heard about that before. What I know about are magnesium rods. I own magnesium rods myself. Is Ferrocerium better? Or are those two words for the same material?
