Where to find small flint and magnesium rods?

[jlo]

I am looking for a source for small flint and magnesium rods for a compact emergency kit. Anyone know a good source?

Google BCB America, they sell pocket sized magnesium rods.

Look for ferro rods, there are no such thing as flint rods....flint is a rock, when used with the right kind of steel will throw a spark, but no where near as intense as a ferro rod.

Scroll to the bottom for ferro rods of all sizes. The prices are reasonable and I have ordered from them many times. They are quick and efficient.

All kinds of good knife and sheath making supplies too.

Two things I noted on the page that I linked below.

1. I don't charge nearly enough when I add an antlered firesteel to a knife.

and

2. Seems as though the larger the quantity you buy, the more expensive they get (beyond 1).

It is very handy and the ferro rod does not take much away from how comfortable the grip is. I used this in my tutorial I posted last night about twine matches
