Storl,

Hey, that's great of you to stop in!

-Blast

welcome newguy!!!

Stick around, I'd actually assumed you were here already and just were being quiet.

Yeah, I actually have been around for a while. I already spend too much time posting on forums, so I was trying to limit myself. My weak will lost again.

FIRST POST!

usaknifemaker has the cheapest prices, I looked and looked, even thought about exporting them, and their prices are almost the same as i could find direct from the manufacturer. $4 for a 3/8
x4" rod and $1.75 for a 1/4" x 3" rod and their shipping is fair. mark on the order exodus125 recommended him, maybe they will give me a discount the next time I order, lol.

I have some of the big ones from ferrocerium.com, and am having problems with them once I get past the surface and start scraping the interior. I'll do more testing, and post it when I have some quantifiable results.

In the meantime, the Swedish Army large ones have been good, as have the ones they use in Strike Force's and Blast Matches. If you don't like all that plastic, you can always remove the rod and re-handle them.
