Has anyone ever made a decent folder that incorporated a slot for a thin ferrocerium rod in the handle/spacer area?

I was just looking at the construction of the Paramilitary 2, and with some minimal re-engineering it could likely hold 4mm ferro without obstructing the existing blade geometry...I am sure plenty of other folders could be adjusted accordingly as well.

Thoughts? References?
 
Tool Logic SL pro. Now at first you might not consider this a decent folder, I didn't either. I just thought it was a cheap (ish) gimmick.
But after using it for the past few years, it's actually not bad!
Good points - Very sturdy frame lock, Spydy type hole, excellent fire steel, good whistle.
Bad points - 420J2 blade, one sided grind, useless mini torch, only one position for the pocket clip.
It's not every bodies cup of tea, but I quite like the knife & the ideas behind it, I just wish that some better manufacturers would come up with something similar.

It might be worth considering a pouch with a built in firesteel slot .
