Fire piston

[georann]

Where is the cheapest place (best value) to buy a fire piston? (preferably with one of those nice wooden handles rather than made of metal pipe)
Does anyone here make them?
I might be able to get some more orders in the future from my scout group.

There was someone on e-Bay (in the States, but ships to the UK) who makes very good, and very good value, fire pistons. Have a look at this thread for details: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27791&highlight=piston

They are really good and he is a nice guy to do business with! I got a bag of extra char-material to compensate for postage/customs. The tinder tin is an excellent idea too. You won't go wrong with these, mine worked straight from the box - first time!

I might buy another. It impresses the kids.
