Hello, I am looking for some more ferroceriam rods a.k.a. "metal match"- previous websites for them are gone. Where can you buy these online?
Also I'm curious what you use to coat them for corrosion resistance if anything -
Thank you
Martin


PS- I know Ron Hoods site has the rods alone, no handle- I'm looking for the ones with handles. Thanks
 
Not sure where you can get them in the US, but in Canada they're availabe in just about any outdoor store under the Coghlan brand. The product number is 8647. The package says "emergency tinder kit", and includes a metal match.
 
Is this what you're looking for?

KERSHAW FIRE STARTER - Made in Sweden, the Kershaw Fire Starter produces a spark reaching a temperature of 3000°C with each strike. Made with a Magnesium shaft & steel striker, molded plastic handle with lanyard. Good for approximately 3000 strikes. Will work in rain or snow. Also can be used for signaling.

You can find them on the 1SKS page Camping, Survival & Preparedness @ 1SKS.

They've also got the Doan Magnesium and the Spark-Lite Survival Fire Starter.
