Will food oil work too?
coat the blade in a smear of vaseline works well
Will food oil work too?
I remember reading somewhere many moons ago that the person whom marketed vasaline used to have it on bread....?It has a sort of mildly aperient effect apparently if you eat a dollop, and I have seen that recommended .. though no idea where. But otherwise no ill effects ... I don't think so.
Having said that some pharmacies in the UK stopped selling mineral oil (which is what I usually use for knives etc, as it doesn't taste) ... and I think it is similar stuff to vaseline, with the same laxative properties if you eat like a tablespoon of it.
I never did hear a good reason for why it wasn't sold in Boots etc, and it is easily available in Canada .. so, maybe that's OK too. Anyway, I am fine and have been using it for years.
Does even the Brisa Trapper 95 fit inside?
Length 21 cm.
In that small a quantity no, If you were to eat a whole tube then yes, but a smear on your knife to enable storage. No problem at allVaseline doesn't have a negative effect to food isn't it?
If I eat it, it doesn't matter?
@MrEd
Please check if the Brisa Trapper 95 fits in it!
If possible with sheath of course, because I want to put also a poncho into the bottle and need to avoid that the knife destroys the poncho.
Like this we would reach here a really serious dimension.
And if it fits, please tell me if it's the maximum or if there would be even more space.
The Elver also has the benefit of being a rather lovely knife.
Correct, blade length is 2cm longer than the 95 but overall knife length I don’t know for the trapper 95 - those measurements are for my knife (a trapper 115). I edited my post above, sorryLionsteel M1 or M4
Fällkniven WM1 and TK6
Brisa Elver
and Terävä Jääkäripuukko 85
currently seem to be the most serious survival knifes that could probably fit with the other stuff into the bottle.
(Perhaps I forgot one, I am pretty tired now and will check all mentioned knifes in the end ones more.)
There are a lot of 70 mm blade neck knifes on the market. But 85 cm is simply a different size.
The usual Victorinox knife, Climber, Compact, Spartan for example has 68mm blades.
The Opinel No8 has 8,5 cm blade length.
Who used both knows that the 1,5 cm difference in length make a huge difference in the use of it.
But did you count wrong, or don't I understand you right?
Your knife is 2 cm longer, not 1 cm, than the Brisa 95.
The 95 could fit. It's obviously directly at the border.
There is a bit of extra space in the lid!
195 mm or 197 mm to the rim + 7 mm in the lid seem to be the inner dimensions of the bottle. 202 mm or 204 mm space if the knife sits really vertically.
