What sizes do people like best. How much they cost you.
Been looking around and not many places in the uk sell them and those places are not cheap.
been looking at 4" to 6" rods 10mm to 1/2 thick,

ive never really found ive needed more than 8mm x 80mm. Ive set them in antler tines, paracord wrapped them and just drilled them and hung round my neck. firesteel.co.uk do them or there are some on evilbay. there is a chinese ebayer selling a set of 8 for under $20 with free post. Thats not far off wholesale pricing

That seller on ebay does those sizes at a good price, i got 2 in the post at the moment.
been talking to him this week if he can get larger ones, he is getting me some prices at the moment, so hoping he will come up with some good prices.

Got a couple of dozen of these things in the post myself. Hoping they'll be OK.

I get mine bulk from the USA but i have some from this seller and they work just fine. There is upward pressure on prices this year as rare earth metal prices have been rising for a while now.

I just received two of the ferro rods from the chinese seller on ebay, first impressions are good using the back of a hacksaw blade, almost as many sparks as the LMF army rod I have have, thanks BareThrills for the link. Now I just need to put a handle on them.

No worries mate. Deer antler works really well and is super easy to work with. Have a look on highlandhorn.com
