EXOTAC fireROD XL

The fireROD XL is Exotac’s largest ferro rod system and the preferred choice for bushcraft knife sheaths. Designed to ride in a ferro-loop, it provides a reliable high-spark ignition source with integrated tinder and repair storage. Made in the USA and built to last, the ferro rod is fully replaceable, meaning the tool serves for a lifetime rather than being thrown away when the rod is used up.

Why Choose the XL

The larger ferro rod diameter produces hotter, longer-lasting sparks and survives extended field abuse. The integrated repair/tinder compartment means you carry fewer separate tins, making it ideal for belt carry setups and minimalist kits.

Reliable, field-ready, and modular — the fireROD XL is built for long-term bushcraft carry rather than disposable fire kits.
