Flint is available world wide. If you live near a stream that has limestone banks, then look in the water for large " Tabular" chunks. The stone will likely be mostly white with some Gray or yellow. This will be one form of flint know as Burlington Chert. To make knife blades, arrow point or spear points, you would have to heat treat this stuff. For striking sparks it is fine.

If you just want flint and steel to strike a fire check this site.
trackofthewolf.com. It will sell you pretty much everything you need for old timey, flint and steel fire lighting.

There are many types of flint or chert and some are more prone in some areas than others. English flint is viewed as being one of the best but you have to buy it. See above site. There are many basic old timey survival things there also.
