Introducing the Sidekick Fire Starter Necklace, your trusty companion for all of your fire lighting needs. The ultimate backup Ferro Rod for everyday carry and longer expeditions. The Sidekick also performs as a tinder scraper, mini wrench, and bottle opener. While it may not be the largest Ferro Rod we sell, rest assured it will definitely get the job done! To best explain the Sidekick Necklaces’ features we’ll walk you through the design:
Enhanced Striking Edge: With a lot of Ferro Rod necklaces it’s often hard to create sufficient sparks as the rods are so small. The new slightly-raised striking edge removes more material when striking and produces larger showers of sparks. The striking edge is also manufactured from heat-treated Steel to ensure it will not dull with repeated use.
Streamlined Tinder Scraper: A lot of Ferro Rod necklaces use serrated scrapers. In testing, serrations would often get stuck and were difficult to use. These new beveled scraping edge ensures a much smoother, and more efficient scraping process. Despite its size, it ensures a fire could be created quickly, from processing the shavings to ignition.
A Larger Ferro Rod: The increased length of the Ferro Rods produce larger showers of sparks. The Rods have also been widened and allow for up to 20,000 strikes. As a backup Ferro Rod, you definitely don't need to worry about it failing you when you need it most! All Forest Fundamentals Ferro Rods are manufactured using their own Ferrocerium blend. Tried and tested to the optimum balance between softness and durability. These Ferro Rods throw down large showers of sparks, but not too soft to ensure longevity.
A Multi-Purpose EDC Tool: As an EDC tool, it was a top priority to squeeze a bottle opener in! Manufactured using hardened Steel to ensure they will not bend under excessive pressure. In a survival situation, the necklace can also be used for wood splitting and as a prying tool. The Sidekick is also extremely lightweight, it’s the perfect back-up for multiple-day expeditions. You won’t even notice it till you need it most!
Necklace Chain: The necklace uses 550 'survival' cord which includes strands of copper wire, fishing line, waxed jute, and parachute cord. This multi-purpose card is invaluable in the field and has a range of uses including repairing shoelaces, fishing, snares, shelter building, and more. For safety, a magnetic breakaway clasp, strong enough not to open without pulling, but it won't present a strangulation hazard.
Aesthetics: As the necklace is intended to be worn on a day-to-day basis, so Forest Fundamentals made sure it looked good! The shape and added matt black anti-scratch finish keep the necklace as minimal as possible.
