I like the striker. Next time strike harder/faster. You will take huge gashes out of the rod but it will rain down molten chunks of 5500f Ferrocerium. And please don't breathe so heavy next to the mic next time..
I just ordered my ferro rods from goinggear. Was it the angle of the carbide steel that caused shavings instead of molten balls? I'm curious as to what the correct striking technique is.
Turns out it's a technique issue as I suspected. Full length and full speed strikes throw MASSIVE sparks. Actually calling them "sparks" is an understatement.
Molten balls would be more accurate. They'll skitter across the ground and burn for a full second easily.
LOL WOW...... are you serious? STRIKE HARDER AND FASTER..... use your brain.

Not the angle as much as just a committed strike. Keep the speed, pressure, and length up and you should be fine.
