Flint steel striker sources UK?

[TarHeelBrit]

As it seems I have a fetish for collecting steel strikers I thought I would ask the collective genius here if you know of suppliers of strikers in the UK? I have one of Andy's kits but I'm always interested in what's out there.

Thanks in advance,
Malc.

Not sure if it's the same Andy but Andrew Kirkham blacksmith. Was at Bushcraft Show and some really nice strikers etc.

You'll not be disapointed by the quality. He puts a nice makers mark on them too. I think you can get in touch directly via FB.

A lot depends on the quality of flint that you use, since I’m not in an area where flint is common I tend to use flints knapped for use in a musket cock. They’re a good shape and size for my style of striking sparks and they’re a good dark flint.
