I just got a Mountaineer 1 and I was wondering what yall keep in your handles?
I understand that an Arc AAA will fit perfectly, any other suggestions? This only has a 4" handle.
Thanks
 
 
Lots of good ideas there, thanks.
It looks like fire is the best way to go for such a small space, although I did like the flask idea also;)
 
I didn't read it in the above posts, but someone indicated he kept "three cubic inches of fresh Idaho air" in his hollow handle. "Boise", get it? Never mind.

I remember someone saying that they don't put anything in the handle because they didn't want to lose the knife and not have their survival stuff! I don't think you can get a complete survival kit in there because of it's small size but you could put "some" things in and keep the rest of your survival stuff in your pockets. Perhaps firestarting stuff.

I think it was the great intellect "Napoleon Dynamite" that said that;)

I recently aquired a shadow IV in a trade and love this new knife. Especially the hollow handle concept. As far as mini kits go, there is actually a lot of room in the handle for one. The mini kit is supposed to be small so you will carry it at all times. Most larger survival kits get left behind for this reason. I currently have in the handle mine a ferro rod and needle from an easy awl. I am planning on adding small hooks, fishing line, snare wire, couple band aids and top it off with cotton balls (for fire starting) to keep the contents from moving. I am going to put a couple ranger bands, made from bike tube, around the sheath. They can be used to secure things, used as engines in twitch up snares or they can be used as a fire starter.
One other interesting thing about this knife that I have not seen mentioned, the butt cap can be used as the bearing surface for a fire bow if you want to practice really primative fire making.
 
And if you run out of space in your handle, than you can always try something like the one I finished today for "one of us". Travels tomorrow across the ocean :cool:
