peeshooter,
Indeed I've been looking, and found a supplier:
Treibacher (USA) Corp.
2000 College Ave., P.O. Box 1438
Niagara Falls, NY 14302
Phone: 716-286-1250 | Fax: 716-286-1224
The product actually comes from their facilities in Austria, and the quote I was given was for a minimum order...
Unclesyd,
I have emailed Tom as per your suggestion. I now have multiple overseas irons-in-the-fire. Perhaps one of them will heat up! Combining forces might indeed help overcome some of the red-tape and expense of importation! Time will tell.

Unclesyd,
Many thanks for the info. I've already contacted Treibacher and my inquiry was forwarded to their Austria office.

I sure appreciate your help. Please let me know if you hear of any...
I'm searching for a stateside source (foreign manufacture ok) of ferrocerium reds, both 1/4" and 3/8" in diameter.
Intended purpose is fire-starting tools so will be employed as a flint in this application.
As of yet I haven't located a domestic source for these.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...
