The Isis Fire Rope Dart combines a durable Kevlar wick head with a high-performance rope leash for a versatile fire spinning experience. Available in two head sizes, it offers a balance of flame size, burn time, and maneuverability that makes it a great choice for beginners and experienced rope dart artists alike.
Compared to heavier designs like the Mega Isis or Shuriken Fire Darts, the Isis Fire Rope Dart offers a lighter, more responsive feel. This makes it particularly well suited for learning new techniques, practicing martial arts-inspired movements, and performing tricks that benefit from quicker changes in direction.
Choose between heat-resistant Technora and smooth, uncoated Dyneema to customize how your rope dart feels and handles.
Choose Your Fire Dart Head
- 4 inch (100 mm) Isis Head: Weighing approximately 4.00 oz (113 g), this smaller Kevlar head provides a lighter, more maneuverable feel. A great option for beginners, technical movements, and martial arts-inspired rope dart flow.
- 5 inch (125 mm) Isis Head: Weighing approximately 5.00 oz (142 g), this larger head provides additional Kevlar for greater fuel capacity and potentially longer burns. Its increased weight also creates more spinning momentum while remaining lighter than our larger fire dart designs.
Both options feature 100% Kevlar wick construction designed for repeated burns with proper fueling and maintenance.
Choose Your Rope Dart Leash
We offer two high-performance rope materials, each with distinct advantages depending on your experience and preferred spinning style.
- Technora: A high-strength, heat-resistant aramid rope that is particularly well suited for beginners. Its excellent heat resistance makes it more forgiving of accidental tangles and brief exposure to elevated temperatures. Technora has a slightly more textured feel against the skin and gradually softens with use. The leash uses a continuous length of Technora from the hand loop to the dart-end hardware.
- Dyneema: A lightweight, low-stretch rope with an exceptionally smooth feel against the skin. Many intermediate and advanced rope dart artists prefer Dyneema for its fluid movement during wraps, releases, and technical tricks. Our Dyneema is completely uncoated, with no polyurethane coating, so it feels smooth right out of the package without requiring a break-in period. A heat-resistant Technora lead is spliced between the Dyneema and the dart-end hardware to provide additional protection near the flame.
Important: Dyneema has a much lower melting temperature than Technora. Although the Technora lead provides protection near the fire head, the Dyneema portion can still melt if exposed to flames or excessive heat. We generally recommend Technora for beginners and Dyneema for more experienced rope dart artists who prioritize smoothness and have developed consistent rope control.
Swivel & Quick Link Connection
Each rope dart includes a swivel and quick-link connection between the leash and fire head.
- Swivel: Helps prevent the rope from twisting excessively during rotations and other spinning movements.
- Quick Link: Allows the fire dart head to be detached or replaced without replacing the entire leash.
The connection hardware is securely attached to the rope using spliced construction rather than relying on a simple knot.
Adjustable Hand Loop
Instead of a separate handle, the rope dart features an integrated hand loop formed by splicing the end of the rope back into itself.
To create the handle, pass the rope dart and remaining leash through the small spliced loop, then pull it through to form a larger, secure loop that fits around your entire hand.
This simple design provides a dependable connection without adding unnecessary handle hardware. You can also shorten the effective rope length by tying additional loops near the handle end.
Choosing Your Rope Dart Length
The included leash measures approximately 10 ft 2 inch (310 cm), providing plenty of length for a variety of spinning styles and body proportions.
A common starting point for rope dart sizing is your wingspan plus the distance from your shoulder to the ground. This measurement should account for the complete setup, including the rope, fire head, and connection hardware.
If the supplied leash is longer than your preferred setup, you can shorten the effective length by tying additional loops near the handle end.

Fire Safety & Maintenance
Fire rope dart requires proper training, spatial awareness, and appropriate safety equipment. Always inspect your Kevlar head, rope leash, splices, swivel, and quick link before use.
- Never soak the rope leash in fuel. Only the Kevlar wick head should be fueled.
- Keep the leash away from direct flames whenever possible, especially when using Dyneema.
- Avoid leaving the burning dart stationary on the ground, as concentrated heat can damage the wick, rope, and surrounding surfaces.
- Replace any rope showing signs of fraying, melting, heat damage, or compromised splices.
- Ensure the quick link is fully closed and securely tightened before spinning.
