Forest Fundamentals Sidekick Fire Starter is a compact, necklace-carried fire-making backup – always with you, always ready for use. It is designed for EDC use and as a backup tool for situations where a fire must be started without hassle. While the Sidekick is not the largest ferrocerium rod in the range, it is built to perform when needed. Lightweight, discreet, and multi-purpose – but with no compromises in performance.
Enhanced striking edgemore sparks from a compact size
Small ferrocerium necklaces often struggle with weak spark output. The Sidekick solves this with a raised and sharp striking edge that removes more material with each stroke. The result: a larger and hotter shower of sparks that ignites tinder faster and more reliably. Heat-treated steel ensures the striking edge will not dull with use.
Improved scraperbuilt for real field use
Many similar products use serrated scraper edges, which tend to catch on material and make them difficult to use. The Sidekick uses a beveled straight edge, making processing tinder smooth and efficient. This speeds up the entire process – from shaving material to ignition.
The ferrocerium rod in the Sidekick has been increased in both length and thickness. It produces a larger shower of sparks and lasts for up to 15,000 strikes. The Forest Fundamentals Ferrocenium blend provides a balance between easy ignition and durability – sparks ignite easily, but the rod does not wear down too quickly.
Multi-purpose EDC tool
The Sidekick is not just a fire starter. It also functions as:
- a bottle opener
- a compact prying and scraping tool
- an aid for splitting wood (batoning)
- a prying tool for field use
The hardened steel body withstands heavy use without bending.
550 Survival Paracordgear around your neck
The necklace chain is made from 550 survival paracord, which includes:
- fishing line
- waxed jute (for tinder)
- copper wire
- a strong paracord core
This makes the Sidekick more than just a tool – its a compact kit of backup materials you carry with you. For safety, the necklace features a magnetic breakaway clasp that only releases under sufficient force.
Discreet but always with you
The Sidekick is extremely lightweight and designed for everyday carry. The matte black, scratch-resistant finish and minimal design make it discreet to wear – but invaluable when needed most.
