Im about 75% sure I have such a set and I would love that stove.

Right I have found it and I was mistaken, it's not hand forged. If thats not an issue let me know and I will post pics.
Otherwise
I know where I can get my hands on a hand forged striker in the next couple days and put together a set and throw in some home made pine pitch.

still interested as long as it works like it should pic would be cool would not mind waiting few days though for the hand forged one
Thats the one I have, but TBH I don't think its a good enough trade for such a nice stove.
Give me a couple days and I will put a nicer kit together with a hand forged one. I will throw in some cramp ball and make a leather draw string pouch too.
wooow ok thank you very much that would be awesome cheers ATB Phil.

Just waiting on the striker.
I have tried to keep it as small as possible, the tinder/kindling includes Birch Bark, Artist Conk, Cramp Ball (needs a little more drying), Dryer Lint, Reed Mace, Coffee Stirer, Jute/Sisal, Char Cloth and Pine Pitch. You can fit around 4 or 5 of the tinder/kindling bags in at once which accounts for around 6-8 different tinders/kindling at any one time.... But my thought was that you would find which ones you like and probably just carry a larger amount of that.
I hope this is what you had in mind.

I saw these wee stoves first time round I think that's a fair swap I Really like this wee stove wouldn't mind owning one myself
Cheers dude
I thought they'd been turned on a lathe. Keen edge, that some serious stove fella. Nice work!
Ok so I just got my hands on the striker.
Just bear in mind that these dont throw sparks like a ferro rod, the sparks are easier to see in a darker room rather than direct light.
They take some technique practice, it's certainly something I havent mastered yet.
If you hare happy with this just let me know and PM your details and I will get it posted off for you in the morning as Im just out to work now.
If it's not to your liking I won't be offended.
All the best
