UK Mischmetal ferro rod supplier?

[chris_irwin]

Does anyone know of a UK based mischmetal ferro rod supplier, like the ones sold on goinggear?

I missed out on the group buy and I don't really want to pay the postage fees. I'm interested in trying mischmetal as opposed to my light my fire firesteel.

If you give FGYT a PM he will probably have spares he will be prepared to sell to you I imagine.

I'm convinced they're all made in the same factory. Buy the ones from Axeprice on Ebay and save some money. I can't tell the difference between those and some I've bought from two US companies for a lot more.

Misch metal in its own right is too soft to strike usable sparks. all rods have iron and magnesium added to make them firm enough to spark. The LMF version is probably the hardest and allows better control + will last longer but isnt as good for lighting wet tinder where the softer versions will win out given their tendency to give off big globules of molten metal.

Axeprice on ebay is certainly where you will get most bang for your buck. Ive just had a 6in by 0.5 inch one from him for a tenner.

I got my misch metal rod from a seller on eBay called contact left. Fast delivery. Throws a great shower of almost napalm from the spine of a hillbill knife

There's also www.firesteel.co.uk

I have a couple of them, but I'm not sure if they differ from the goinggear ones. Goinggear are pretty easy to deal with and offer a good service, so don't be afraid to use them. Bet you chuck a few other bits in your basket too
