Hi guys! I've been contacted many times over on BCUSA asking about shipping to the UK, and if there's European sellers. Well I decided just to go ahead and sign up here and ship them myself. 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 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.


I'll be selling amongst other things, this combo kit. The combo is a sm/med/lrg. I will also include a free keychain for you guys! The key-chain is a handy model to every day carry!

SOLD

Message me with your Email, and I will invoice you!




*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





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

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

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

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





That's Mnt. St Helens in the background. These starters are made in her shadow.

Hard African padauk wears like iron so you'll always have dry tinder.

Soft 99.9% pure magnesium comes off in flakes and curls, not cheap zinc mixed china junk.

Hard ferro allows you to focus the heat where you want it!

No way! I bought one of these from you about 6 years ago I think? At a market stall in Eugene I believe. It's been great - and the magnesium is lovely and "scrapeable".
Sparks are nice and hot too :)

Thought I'd posted a reply to this, this morning?? Must have gotten lost in the tinterweb a somewhere!

I bought one of these in 2007/8 when i was visiting my dad over in Eugene - there was a stall set up at the Eugene Sunday market, and there were a whole table of these to choose from. Still use mine, and it is by far the best one I have.

A couple of instructors on a course I did a few weeks ago wanted to know where it was from as it was throwing such good sparks - and I couldn't tell them! I'll have to drop them an email :)

If anyone needs a new ferro rod - give one of these a whirl!

Alone now.
I'm sorely tempted to grab a H60, have to check the paypal first. Now I see pouches available as well...dammit knew I should have picked one up while I was still in Raleigh but time and circumstances conspired against me. :mad:

Yes! Prices on the large are £25 GBP shipped. Add £3 pounds for a Belt sheath. The sheath is made here in the US too!

These look great - about £22 for the pack seems like a bargain to me! PM inbound...

No, £41 shipped. Sorry for any confusion! It's $62.36 USD shipped.

Hi Hemlock,
I hope you don't mind that I've edited your "$" sign to a Sterling "£" which might avoid any future confusion.

And there's a PM on its way.

So £41 for the small/medium/large and a keychain shipped. The combo pack.

£25 for Just the large.

Add £3 to either order if you want a belt sheath for the large.

Hey guy's I have to bump the price slightly to £43 GBP. Paypal and shipping costs were taking a little more than I anticipated. I can guarantee they're still worth twice that though!!

If you purchased already don't worry about it. I'll cover the loss, just want to change it for the future.
