Staight outta the PNW Survival Strikers!

[Gallus]

Last I heard he's extremely busy making and shipping orders. I don't think he realised how popular his strikers are. After posting for sale threads here and on BC-US and his own website he was overwhelmed....a victim of his own success.

Wow! Thanks for that update TarHeelBrit!

That's good to hear (for him). Maybe not so good for me!

Hopefully he'll get back to me about it shortly, his success looks and sounds rightly deserved and it's like the opportunity to testify to that!

Thanks again.

No Problem Gallus.

He had a vendorship over on BC-US but didn't have the time to devote to it so he closed it and offered his strikers at sale prices as a way of saying thanks for the support from members. Well bad idea as the thread went to 3 pages and he got more orders than he knows what to do with.

I've got a couple of his toggle ferro rods and even for the size they give great sparks and are well made. He is pretty much a one man band and makes each one by hand. I think that's why his communication can be a bit erratic as he's busy making rods rather than surfing forums or answering PM's. It might take longer than most people would prefer but he delivers and delivers a cracking ferro rod. I know I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again. That's just my 2p's worth

Cheers TarHeelBrit,

Sounds like he's got his hands full indeed!

Best of luck to the guy! If it's paying him to do it and we're the lucky recipients of his handiwork, then it's happiness all round!

And I don't mind waiting a bit for happiness!

I haven't heard a bad word about his strikers and I doubt I will. They look quality.

Very much looking forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Thanks again.

See the previous thread here: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135237


I posted a combo kit awhile back, and have decided to list most of the full line up here, and just allow you to pick what items you'd like. I can also sell the metals alone. So if you wanted the metals to go ultra light, or handle your own, I can sell that too. Usually the metals cost $4 less than the handled version. I wont be selling any of my antler models internationally! Sorry, customs doesn't like that.

All prices are in US dollars! I was doing the conversion, but Paypal fees were not friendly to me. All specs are in standard, if I get bored sometime I'll switch them to metrics. lol

Shipping is $14. Contact me about how I fill out customs papers to go as smoothly and reasonable as possible.




I'll try to cut the costs of my products as low as possible to help offset shipping. Many of you have probably seen my products, and know their absolute stellar reviews. We get NO bad reviews! The product really is that good! These are hands down the best fire starters made, and a must have piece of kit. Nothing else comes close, and my reviews speak to that.

These are made from the absolute highest quality materials. We use European hard style ferro rods, American magnesium, American hardened steel scrapers, and African Padauk wood. Even the Epoxy is American made. We don't use ANY sub-par Chinese materials. A fact we take a lot of pride in.

Our tools are designed and made here in the Pacific North West. They were made for our wet remote temperate rain forests. There's no gimmicks or false advertising. Just robust tools meant to work in harsh environments for many years.

*Only high quality US or European metals used.

*Hard LMF style European made ferrocerium.

*Pure soft high quality magnesium burns wet

*Handled models feature exotic hardwood African Padauk. Handles are large for cold or arthritic hands, and scrape easy for dry tinder.

*Hardened Steel scraper that can be resharpened


Large $25

LARGE/"THE BEAST" Has a 5/8" Mag and 3/8" Ferro
3.2 Oz

Nylon Belt pouch for the Large made in the US Add $6

Medium $18

Medium 1/4" ferro, 1/2" Magnesium
1.8 oz

Small $13

Small Has a 3/8" Mag, and 3/16" Ferro
1.5 oz

Keychain $5


Key chain 1/8" flint 1/4" mag
.4 oz with striker and chain

PM'd you about an order.

Regards,

Anybody got one or two of these for sale pref large ?

 

[ScottE]

I'd like one of these in large if possible too please?

Old thread but are they still available.

What did people think that have had them a while?

 

[Nice65]

I don't think they are. He used to have a website that gives a 404 error now. I had a couple, sold them both on and went back to my old firesteel and tinder. I have a magnesium block and various other bits in my waterproof fire tin that give more options.

It was a nice idea, well executed, perhaps over complicated in terms of production having the firesteel incorporated in the milled section of the magnesium. The firesteel was a bit too hard for getting the molten globules spewing everywhere, and threw just sparks. I was losing my magnesium curls in striking. That was a bit of a deal breaker, the molten balls get magnesium going very easily, sparks less so.

I have some lying around, not sure but iirc it was a set, small, medium and large. I don't think either one has seen use ? if I can find them I might sell them on, if I can find them

 

[cascare]

Bought mine last year and not had a problem, there well made and do exactly what the ad states, used mine most of the summer teaching the youngun how to go on and even he can get a good fire going at 7 year old. A big A Plus from me !!
