I know somebody in here has a link in their sig to a site that sells firesteel blanks, but I can't find it. Anybody wanna help me out?
 
There's a guy on eBay now selling them in some weird sizes. He has one that's like 1/2" thick by 12" long. You could probably start a nuclear reaction with one of those.
 
Is there any advantage to the monster sizes? I have a Light My Fire Scout model and Army model, and I prefer the Army due to it's size, but not sure that I'd want any bigger.
 
I usually carry a LightMyFire Scout model, but my girlfriend told me I need a bigger one. :(

Holy crow! I would like one just for the novelty.
A bigger rod does make more sparks, it's all about surface area.
I once flattened one on one side with a file, after about 10 minutes of an insane amount of sparks, it could throw a mean shower of them easy. I have been meaning to do it on a bit smaller scale with a few more, partly because it was so fun.
