Does it have magnesium

Yes. Ferrocerium rod is made from Iron, Magnesium and mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal with an excellent pyrophoric percentage : 98%min.

Can you scrape pieces of the rod into your kindling with the striker itself? Or only use it to strike?

My experience with this rod is you cannot scrape off bits of rod material like the inexpensive fire starters you can get at Harbor Freight. BUT... you do not need to. Striking this rod produces some very strong and hot sparks. I have had no problems starting a fire by striking sparks into a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly.

Approximately how many strikes will it last?

This Ferro Rod showers sparks! Of course, you have to scrape the top layer off first. I only scrape off about 20% of the coating so the coating to extend the life of the rod. I agree that this Rod should provide 100's of strikes...even though the company says 1,000's. Excellent product.
