The Zippo Magstrike Fire Starter Rod is built for those who rely on dependable gear in the great outdoors. Whether you're prepping for a backwoods adventure, building a survival kit, or just want a reliable fire starter for camping trips, this compact tool is ready when you are. Designed by Zippo to deliver performance when it matters most, the Magstrike is a smart addition to any pack, pocket, or gear bag.
At the heart of the Magstrike is its corrosion-resistant ferrocerium rod, known for producing a high-volume shower of hot sparks. Paired with a rugged 420 stainless steel striker blade, this fire starter delivers the ignition power needed to spark dry tinder and get your fire going quickly—even in damp, windy, or high-altitude conditions. It’s a no-nonsense solution to one of the most critical tasks in outdoor survival: creating fire when you need it most.
The ergonomic ABS plastic housing includes a textured grip, giving you a solid hold even when your hands are wet or cold. The striker and rod snap securely together with a smart snap-lock closure, keeping everything compact and protected when not in use. At 4.3 inches overall and just 2.7 ounces, it’s lightweight without sacrificing usability, and the integrated lanyard hole makes it easy to attach to your gear or carry on a carabiner for quick access.
Zippo’s design prioritizes durability, ease of use, and real-world performance. This isn’t just a piece of survival gear—it’s a field-ready tool you’ll reach for again and again. Whether you’re hiking, hunting, camping, or facing emergency situations, the Magstrike delivers peace of mind with every spark.
