Schwert,

I am told that the Mauser is no longer made. although they do come up on E-Bay every now and then. Best replacement on the market for it is a Swiss Army Farmer. May have a different name in the U.S. It's the Model 87 Soldier + a saw. Very tough little knife.

Just out of curiosity, have you seen the lighter fuel container manufactured by Zippo? I was going to borrow your trick of putting fuel in a Tabasco sauce bottle but decided that I didn't care for the risks involved in terms of it breaking. Saw the Zippo fuel on Don Rearic's site. Looked for it on E-bay thinking to buy one second hand and discovered that they are still made. Built like a bomb. It's as solid as a K&M matchcase. But not of the same build quality (what is?). Will fit in your vest very nicely.

One problem with your article: I get very greedy when I see them. Fire piston, Flint & Steel, K&M matchcase. Arrggh!!!
