I have for trade some aluminum fire pistons. I have a few of both the hex and round style. I have been selling them for a while here.
I am looking for (PE only):
Benchmade Griptilian
Benchmade 530
Kershaw Leek D2 composite blade
Spyderco Caly 3
Spyderco Military*
Benchmade Skirmish*
Benchmade Rukus*
Surefire LED lights
Fenix TK20
JETBeam Jet-III
Other flashlights, knives, gear. Please make me an offer.
Details:
>Machined 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum (Will never rot, and much stronger than wood). Very robust design make this one tough fire starter.
>3/4" diameter wire brushed grip cylinder with precision reamed 1/2" bore piston. O-ring is standard 1/2" OD x 5/16" ID that can be inexpensively obtained at any hardware store should a replacement ever be needed.
>Piston has a tinder retainer machined into its face.
>Tinder can be stored in the large cylinder while the fire piston is not in use, the water tight seal will keep it dry.
>I machine these fire pistons myself in my machine shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA. They are machined by hand on a lathe, which is time consuming, but also guarantees the highest quality. Tolerances are held very tight for excellent compression and reliability. Each piston is individually mated to it's cylinder for a precision fit. I test each fire piston and usually get ignition on the very first try.
>These fire pistons are of my own design, and are the result of many prototype models. I found that the method I use is more reliable than a two hand fire piston, and causes much less fatigue on the hands during practice and actual use

Quick Press method
Slam Fire method
