The guys in W&SS are pretty familiar with my firesteels, but I thought I'd let the rest of you guys know what I offer.
I have firesteel blanks in 10 different sizes, ranging from itty bitty (3/20" x 2") to absurdly massive (1/2" x 12"). All use the same, high-performing misch metal ferrocerium alloy, but the larger sizes will give you more globs of molten metal just due to their size.
I also have 15 different hardwood handles for 3/8" and 1/2" firesteels, with more handles on the way. You even get to choose the length of the firesteel with the handles. There is also the Firecap Firesteel, a firesteel size of your choice with a waterproof capsule attached.
To get an idea of how well the rods work, here are a couple of videos:
