after hearing and reading so much exited comments about this ferrocerrium rods(also often incorrectly called "firesteel" or "powerflint") i made the mistake of buying one of this newfangled toys. not only am i disappointed (too unreliable in my experience)by it, i had also to discover that this ***** piece of **** starts to oxidate (only from contact with LOW air humidity!!!) on the still coated and unused backside. has anybody had similar experiences and if yes: how do you protect yours from becoming a expensive pile of grey dust? would ordinary cooking oil do the trick?
thanks for your help
