These fire steels are handmade by me in my garage. I am a team of one currently producing a high quality custom fire steel.
By popular request I'm adding a 1/2 inch fire steel option. Same awesomeness as the 3/8th versions just with more rod. Options will vary since I need more material to make handles.
If you're submitting your own material please contact me for minimum dimensions.
Wait Time: Please be aware since I am a team of one and I am doing this after my full time job and other life responsibilities wait times are estimated to be around 12-24 weeks. I can realistically produce a minimum of 4 per week. As I continue to refine the production process production speed could increase.
*Photos are for reference only no knives are provided with the fire steel.
Inspiration: I never wanted a matching fire steel because I knew I wouldn't use it. I knew that once I wore out that ferro rod it would be useless to me so why use it. That's when I came up with the idea to make the rod easily replaceable.
About The Ferro Rods: These Ferro Rods are of the soft variety and are the best quality. I've tested many different ones and have selected these for a few factors. When making them replaceable they machine better than harder rods. These also produce amazing sparks. Ferro rod size is 1/2 inch by 5 inches.
Replacement Rods: When purchasing a replaceable handle the ferro rod is modified by me to allow the rod to be replaced. You can choose to purchase replacement rods though me.
