Description: 6-14-24 Shipping update: I am currently out of leather and waiting on the next quantity to arrive in my shop early next week. In the mean time, should you purchase any leather items there will be an additional 2-3 day wait in shipping times. Leather should be back in house on Tuesday so any leather goods purchased between now and then will be competed and shipped by this time next week. Thanks and have a great weekend. Here is a really large ferro rod for starting camp fires and to keep in your wilderness survival/bushcraft kit. This bad boy starts out as a five inch long by 1/2 inch ferro rod blank. I turn the handles, made from Tennessee hardwoods, and then create the sheath for each one. The sheaths are made from hand-dyed tooling leather and each is double hand stitched with high strength artificial sinew. I don't use sewing machines and never use cotton thread with my leather stitching as I want to make a product that will last. The belt loop, which will fit up to a two inch belt, is firmly held in place with three metal rivets and then double hand stitched. Let me know if your belt is wider than two inches so I can make the loop bigger at time of order please.Speaking of lasting, I have no idea how many fires you can start with this thing but I am guessing you will lose it before ever wearing it out. I like to think of it as a lifetime investment, unless you live in the woods full time and use this thing for multiple fires every day. Notice the last picture: That is my hand holding it and, disclaimer, I am a giant Ogre of a man, so that picture is a great reference to the size of this tool.Being hand made, the shade of the leather will vary slightly, as will the finish on the handle, but the pictures represent an average ballpark of what you will receive. This handle design makes getting a grip easy and can also be used as a fish "thumper". Please see our reviews and, rest assured, you will get good quality work and great communication when dealing with me. Thanks for looking. This listing is for one (1) large ferro rod with sheath. 6-26-2020 Shipping Information: My Products are designed and hand crafted in my little workshop in Pulaski, TN. Due to the nature of this type of work sometimes shipping takes a couple days. My items are marked for up to five business days handling time but, in most cases, your package will not take that long to ship. Depending on volume of orders at the time of purchase, and quantities on hand, your package will ship somewhere between same day (of order) and business five days after time of order. You will get a message from me after your order is placed giving you an indication of how long it will be. My usual shipping days are Mondays and Wednesdays, and most packages ship within three business days or less.Tracking: Tracking information is always provided after shipping. Keep in mind, sometimes the postal service is slow right now, but most items I ship arrive within a couple days. If your package does not show up on time feel free to use the provided tracking information for an update or contact me and I will gladly track it for you. Either way, if it isn’t on time we will get it figured out, one way or another. Thanks for looking at my listings and have a great day.
