They are down the bottom of the page. Lucky that I have everything on my bookmarks.

I have no connection with the seller, etc...

I have a couple of Mike Ameling's (member here) strikers and can vouch for them.

He sells on Ebay as..."line-shack-rider", buthas no sales listed at the moment.

Don't be put off by the fact that hs is in the USA. Even with postage, they can be cheaper than similar found domestically.

Drop Mr Fenna a PM, he should be able to sort you out with a nice little flint and steel set.

I would always recommend the handmade steels rather than the mass-produced ones as they all have their individual qualities that makes them special - which is in contrast to the mass-produced ones - even if they are slightly more expensive.
