    I usually get them at the local camping or woodworking store, but my last order with USA Knifemaker for micarta, I decided to get some 1/4" x 4" ferro rods and strikers, thinking I'll make matching ones to sell with my knives.

    They usually have a shelf with some camping stuff, pots and pans, perhaps a cheap 2 person tents, camping cutlery, butane canisters, fishing gear (useless), and at least here, ferro rods that cost 1/3 the price of an LMF fire steel. The also have some shelves of tools, where you find at least one model Mora knife, usually a 511 or 711.
