Forest Fundamentals SideKick Fire Starter Necklace

Product info

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 edge – more 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 scraper – built 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 Paracord – gear 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 - it’s 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.
