Uberleben – Kraftig Ferro Rod Fire Starter

The Uberleben Kräftig Fire Starter is the original workhorse ferro rod built for serious firecraft, survival, and emergency preparedness. Designed for reliability above all else, the Kräftig delivers massive spark output and long service life in the harshest conditions.

At the core is a half-inch (12.7mm) Sånft-korr™ ferrocerium rod capable of producing intense 5,500°F molten spark showers. This oversized rod yields up to 20,000 strikes, making it a dependable long-term fire-starting solution for bug-out bags, bushcraft kits, and off-grid living.

The handcrafted hardwood handle provides a comfortable, secure grip while adding natural durability and timeless aesthetics. Whether you’re striking in rain, snow, or high-altitude environments, the Kräftig ignites reliably—even when wet.

Included is Uberleben’s classic multi-tool striker paired with a rugged 550 paracord lanyard, giving you a simple, proven fire-starting system that’s easy to carry and always ready when fire matters most.
