    I send a lot of business to the manufacturer and distribute their items in North America, so this is definitely an option. Any HF people that are interested, PM or email me.

    BTW, I have a couple new flashlight brands in the store as well.

    Yeah, they were actually supposed to have the cord attached, but the manufacturer did not put it on there. Most of my customers actually requested that I NOT put cord on there, so I left it off. I guess they prefer just using a single small loop of cord to pull them out.

    I am really happy I picked up their products. Their implementation of KISS on their tactical lights is awesome.

    I got mine the other day. Very quick turn around, about 2-3 days. Everything looks great--the pull tab whistles are cool, and I can now fire off molten globs of metal! Hehehe . . . .

    One thing I did notice, and maybe it was because I haven't seen a lot of groundhog-type stakes, is that some of the stakes were twisted somewhat. Not much, but it would put a regulation spin on an arrow for sure. I'm not sure if that will affect strength (doubt it), but for the price, I can handle it.

    Did I mention how cool it is to create molten globs of metal?

    Those are from my super strength. I use the stakes to test my workout progress.

    I actually have not notice that before. Thanks for the heads up, I will look for twists in the future. If you have any problems with them, please let me know.

    I got my order several days ago. I like them. I actually cut the little loop of cord off my ground hogs to thread my mason line though, so it was fine by me that it was missing.

    Got my order today. That was pretty fast. I like these. And since I ordered a couple of the flint steels at the same time, I got to thinking. I know someone posted about how they like to combine functionality. What if we put a good "edge" on just one blade of the stake? I am wondering if it would be a good with the flint steel. Doesn't have to be a sharp edge, just put a good 90 into one blade by running it down a grinding wheel. Or am I taking this a little too far?

    Not a bad idea, but I don't think it would hold up for very long. Hardened steel strikers work so well because they are so much harder than the alloy used in a firesteel. Aluminum is comparatively soft and is terrible at holding an edge.

    Maybe I need some stainless steel stakes.
