Many times in extreme situations when hands and teeth could not . mistresses have done the job.:thumbup:
Who knows how many other tools she has saved in use hard situations :thumbup:
Pete,
Up here in Alaska when I say cold I'm talking -20'F (-28'C) to -50'F (-45'C).
I've been on snowmachines, 4-wheelers, snowshoes and X-country skies for some time. I leaned along time ago Plastic/Kydex/ and POLY will not hold up in extreme cold. It will for awhile, but the cold effects things like nothing else. It will all become brittle. I DO NOT put oil on my guns when traveling out in those condition. Oil and any other lube WILL freeze or gum. I use dry graphite on my rifle bolts. Seen to many actions freeze. The other thing about cold weather operations that has not been touched on, is that one must exercise what they have. I mean to say you have to function check your bolt, move your snaps, losen and tighten your canteen cap, change your socks during the day 2-3 times, etc etc. Nothing and I mean nothing is set in stone in the north country. I takes longer to do everything. You try not to sweat, but going back to knives, guns etc, you MUST take care of them, for them to take care of you. Below -10'F I go with leather period. It doesn't break, crack, or pop real loadly when a tree branch slaps it. My 2-cents. Not being argumentative, just relaying what has worked for me in Alaska.
