Ferro rods - supplier?

[badgeringtim]

A while ago i did a swap for some decent little ferro rods - intending on adding them to my next knife as part of the sheath and promptly lost them (of course).

Im wondering if anyone knows of a preferably UK seller with a range at not overbearing prices id like a few small/medium rods to be made up with beech and rose i think at the mo.

There is an american store here whch seems rather cheap but dont know if the rods are reasonable although the import cost is a bit a frustrating.

Recomendations would be welcome.

Thanks

thanks for that but are they any good - there are many places that have them for about 1/2 this price - hence my confusion!

the UK supplier also only does the larger 9mm rods

IVe got some from our Resident USA supplier and they are cheap and they work well but as Misch mash metal they are softer than the LMF ones and require a slightly different striking tecnique

if you buy several to split eh shipping etc its a good deal i got 23 last time in lots of sizes including teh big one

oh the new Strikers they have Are the best on the market for any Ferro rod that i have used

cheeers for that Duncan - yeah i saw your post on the US supplier - i thought he said that there rods were harder than the Swedish version? Not that it matters.

I reckon 23 is a bit beyond me - i was thinking 5/6 - dont suppose you wanted to part with some of the smaller ones - squirel to beaver size i think....?

I have no complaints about the http://firesteel.co.uk/ ones.They produce a nice spark,did'nt realise they only sold 9mm sized ones,it was this size that I wanted so did'nt look any further.
