What to put in new Mountaineer II?

[ChadHahn]

I bought a Mountaineer II yesterday for a pretty good price. It was more than I wanted to pay but I'd been wanting a hollow handled CR knife for sometime and decided to go ahead and get it. Then I saw that they were discontinued, so I guess I'm glad I did.

I was wanting to hear what people have been putting in the handle. It's always good to get some new ideas. I did a Google search but didn't come up with much. I did get some ideas of what to put into spy capsules. But still any forum members have some great ideas of what to put in their knife?

Thanks,

Chad

P.S. Here's a picture.

Congrats on your purchase. I have a Mtn. 2 and my handle contains:

8 REI Stormproof matches
1 REI striking pad
1 FireSteel blank 2 1/2" X 1/4" (Going Gear - Fox Model)
1 homemade 2" hacksaw striker
1 Tinder Quik Fire Tab (mostly to hold everything in place)

I have two buttcaps. One empty. One has a Sun Company 14 mm - Grade AA compass (perfect fit).

Good luck! :thumbup:

I use the the Nkonka tool insert along with tools and cap in my Mountaineer. I ordered this from CRK for around $40.

How do you use the tools? It seems like it would be easy to cut or poke yourself. Never mind I looked at the picture again. At first I thought that the cap reversed and you used the knife handle to use the screw driver. That didn't seem like a good idea.

Today I was trying to figure out where my REI matches went. Luckily they opened a store in town so I guess I can go get some more. I'm glad to know that a 14mm compass is a perfect fit for the cap.
