Ferro rod source?

[shigawire4sure]

I have a bunch of differant size ferro rods but am looking for the fattest one around. I have a few strikeforces that are about 1/2" diameter. My question is are there larger ones out there? Also anyone know where I can find the plain rods? I see them on ebay sometimes but they are usually in bulk and dont need 100. Any help appreciated.

Campingsurvival.com has them. Tom is a member here and a great guy on top of it. I've placed many orders through him and have always been satisfied.

Marty Simon has 1/2 ferro rods too. He can be contacted through the WLC at www.weteachu.com

I just ordered some from here, but they don't have very large ones.

Kev/blaznic-thanx,I'll check those out. Any idea what lengths they come in? Im trying to make a rod with brass fittings that SgtMike at KF makes. Look to be very tough.

Sgt Mike got his from Marty at WAR two years ago. They are approx. 4" long. They come pre-drilled and all you have to do is epoxy them in place.
