The Gerber Fire Starteris a high-performance flint with a ferrocerium rod that works in all weather conditions. The rod, about 12 cm long, is made of ferrocerium, a synthetic pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks when struck, reaching temperatures as high as 3000°C. The chair works even when wet, in the rain, during snowfall, at any altitude and latitude. It even allows for about 7,000 flints.

The non-slip grip makes it easy to chair sparks
