View Full Version : Mini Firesteels
Please note this isn't a Group Buy yet - just gauging interest.
I've had a reply from Cam at www.firesteel.co.uk after I made an enquiry about a GB on mini firesteels following some interest in the What's in your pocket? (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=21066) thread. The prices below are if the firesteels are ordered along with Cam's regular order. This is going in on Tuesday so I've already said we won't be able to organise this by then, but I'd guage interest for a future order.
Size: 3mm dia. x 50mm
Quantity: 200 pcs
Price: £1.90/pc
Size: 4mm dia. x 50mm
Quantity: 200 pcs
Price: £2.00/pc
For simplicity, I'd rather stick to one size and for ten pence extra I reckon it'd be better to have the 4mm steels. For further simplicity, it'd be easier to supply packs of 5.
I'm not sure if there would be a postage charge to get them to me or the above price is delivered. However, if we ignore that for now, if a pack of 5 was £10, I'd guess something between £1 and £1.50 would cover postage, packaging and paypal fees. So, say £11.50 for 5 firesteels delivered.
The big question. Are there 40 takers?

Me please - 2 packs (be happy with 3mm too)
Red
and me! :D (and 3mm would be cool too! ;) - whatever.....)
plus if responce was as quick as last time I reccon we could manage Tuesday :rolleyes:
..... what do you think about mentioning it on BB? - I'm happy to start a thread if you want - It would increase the 'customer base' if required
I've posted on BB. Perhaps it would be better to state a 3 or 4mm preference. I'd still rather do one size only - both sizes would mean ordering 200 of each size.
cool - I did do a refresh on BB but our posts must have crossed in cyberspace :lmao:

Preference given - I like the idea of the 3mm since a really tiny one has loads of possibility and is distinctly smaller than, say, a 6mm which is widely available. If the consensus is 4mm though I'll certainly take them.

Hi Neil
I would be interested in two packs.
Cheers

I'll definitely have one pack, possibly two.
Think I'd prefer the 3mm as it would be for PSK, anything else and I think the normal sized steels are fine.

Hi everyone thanks for the interest in the smaller steels, I did not include a postage charge for the 200 steels, but prob best if I just charge the cost to me when I get them weighed....so basically no mark up.
Hope that helps clarify :)
Regards
Cam
Yes. Would love 2 packs of the 4mm (preferred)

17-05-2007, 16:04
I just took a look at my ruler and decided that the 4mm in my opinion would be better. For me anyway.
1 pack of 4mm please.

I think one of my posts has gone missing in the change over.
We've now reached the requisite target of 200 firesteels total between here and BB. Most people seem to want the 4mm size, so that is the size that will be ordered. I'm afraid there isn't the numbers to order both sizes.
If you've expressed a preference for 3mm and will not be happy with 4mm, please accept my apologies and let me know and I can remove your name from the list.
Cam's delaying his order so this GB will remain open until midnight on Wednesday 23rd.

I dont think I have ever seen them at that size apart from the ranger jobbies.

I keep a 6mm firesteel tucked in the elastic side pocket of my Leatherman pouch (along with a space pen and a Fenix light on the other side and mini Silva in the rear pouch - makes for a nice bimble pouch). I plan one to be a replacement with a small blackwood handle. I think a key ring is almost inevitable here for me too (I have a nifty thought that may just work). PSK for certain.for one. The spare 5 are for general "fooling with" :D

The list's been updated a few posts up. Thanks all for the payments.
All orders have gone in. Cam's ordered more than we need, so if there's any stragglers they might still be able to get in here, or direct from Cam.
I'll keep you updated here when I know more, but it'll be a few weeks now I expect.
I've been trying to edit my post to see where the *sorry* from before the folks went, but I can't seem to get the word to post.
So, sorry to be a pest, but I'm trying to see if it's an anomally or just me being really thick :confused:

what a s@rry state :D
If the coders of the site software have gone to the effort of making certain words autodelete I'd expect them to have made it an editable list, as that wouldn't be much more effort but add functinality. probably a good place to start looking at correcting it would be to do a word seach in the coding and seeing if there's a particular file it appears in, if it's a list file deleting it from that list should allow it through.

Please can you pm me the payment details again, i have cancelled the one i had already done on paypal in case its wrong.

I'd like a pack of 5, please. What's your Email for paypal? I looked at post 39, but I am being dim and not sure what to put between @sign and ecardiff :confused:
Pack of 5 for me please too, mate. Paypal payment and address details sent.

Just wondering what's happening with the firestels. Are they ordered yet?
Eric
They've been ordered. I'm still waiting for paypal to give me my money so I can pay Cam. Cam said delivery would be about 5 weeks.
Edit to add that paypal have just transferred the money, so this group buy is now closed.

Hello all,
I have just contacted my supplier asking them for an up to date eta of the mini firesteels. They are very quick to respond usually so i will keep you informed about their answer.
Regards
Cam

Nice one Cam and Neil - looking forward to them!

Just had an e-mail from my supplier and they say that the steels are going out today by dhl, which prob means Heathrow by Friday and with me by either Sat or Monday. i should get them posted out straight away so if all goes well Neil should have them by Wed/Thurs next week.
Fingers crossed! :D
Cam
Hi Cam,
Thanks for your continued efforts.
I won’t tell you the grief I’ve had with DHL and Swiss customs all day :cussing: , but I wish us all luck!
Andy
Don't tell me the firesteels are coming *from* Switzerland......are they?

19-06-2007, 09:58
that would just be silly....Sweden/uk/sweden... just think of the carbon footprint.
Think Neil is now busy packing...watch ur post boxes.
Thanks all
Cam
All sent today by First Class post. Ideally they should arrive tomorrow, but may take a little longer. Please let me know next week if any aren't received. (Airmail obv will take longer)
Thanks for the update and all your work on this Neil, It is much appreciated!!!;)
Cheers Neil. Bet the packing took a while.
Thanks for all the hard work in organising this.

dont quite know what I'm gonna do with them,but I've got them.:D :thanks:
Got home to find mine had arrived safely earlier, thanks for the organising and the doing.
Mine arrived yesteday Neil.
These will be ideal to use with Char Tubes. Just need to put small handles on them. Also I have a few mates wanting them made into pendants with antler and a leather thong.
Cheers for organising this with Cam.
George
Safe and sound yesterday – many thanks.
They seem to behave differently to others I’ve used and I actually managed to light something for the first time ever. But I think that they are a bit small for my ham fists!
Ta very much,
Andy
Cheers ! Mine arrived yesterday and were waiting for my return :-)
Trying not to play with them in the office, might upset a few people seeing me make sparks in the corner :-)

Also I have a few mates wanting them made into ... a leather thong.

More functional than pretty but you wanted to see them:o
Small piece of 6mm ally tube which has a 1mm wall. This means the hole is almost 4mm (just under in fact). A little filing of the end of a mini firesteel, couple of taps with a hammer and a cable connector crimped to size and pushed into the other end of the tube as a keyring or necklace loop et voila

seems this is long dead, my bad
I have a handful left (I think - need to check), if anyone wants just one or two.
jdlenton
13-07-2007, 08:29
scanker you have a pm
Aye, sorry to delay replying. I've got 8. I've PMd jdlenton to confirm how many he wants, but have yet to have a reply. The request list in order reads jdlenton, gorilla, daved. I guess each of you can have two and that leaves two spare, but thought it only fair to play first come first served. Hope that's OK. If James wants 4, that's still 2 each for gorilla and daved. More when I have a reply.
mikehill
14-07-2007, 18:33
I'll take two if there's any left :)
Fair enough. I think it's fair to say two each for jdlenton, gorilla, daved and mikehill.
All gone now.
Cheers folks.

Think I should have put a picture of my steels from the group buy up here. Here is a Link (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22991) to a thread I started a week or so ago. All the steels and kits are for kids who get a flame at the Bow Drill or the Hand drill classes at the moot. Well at least the first five.
Cheers
