I do search after search, trying to find the right combination of words that will lead me to a Brunton (or similar) 15 mm compass, but I keep coming up empty.

Where can I find these gems?

Try Silva (the brand name for the rest of the world).

The one you want is probably the Silva SERE 40, which is available as a watchband compass (slides onto your, er, watch band) or one with a tiny lanyard hole.

Google for 'silva sere' and you'll get a link to epinions and the Silva site itself. 'brunton watch band' gives you a nice bunch of links (including retailers). 'brunton silva watch band' will give you dealtime.com as the top hit, from where (2/3 down the page) you will find a link to retailers selling the watch band model.

I think the one you are really looking for is top right on this page (the one with the lanyard hole is bottom left).

http://www.silva.se/pg/products/com_sere40.htm

This gives you Silva's part numbers. Good luck.

Another option for you is the Suunto clipper. Its a small compass that can clip to a watch or shirt etc.

I have a couple of the small Silva (brunton) button compasses stashed in kits, but I changed my EDC compass from the Silva watch band compass to a Suunto clipper and have it clipped to my pocket. But it might be small enough to fit in a PSK for you.
Its a 15mm compass in a 25mm bezel, but the clip extends an extra 5mm on one side. Its about 9mm thick. Sorry about the millimeters, but 25.4 mm is equal to 1 inch. (if that helps)

http://www.suunto.com/suunto/main/index.jsp Then go to the products drop box and select all products, then Field Compasses

The Pull-Tab compass from Brunton looks very small. I'm wondering if you can remove it from the triangular base. It's hard to tell on a picture:

I removed a compass from a Coleman zipper pull. I also took one out of the 5-in-1 orange whistle match case thingy too. Just be careful and use something sharp.

FYI:

Anyone looking for Suunto Clipper compasses.

I stumbled onto this old link at REI:

http://www.rei.com/outlet/product/47930066.htm

It is a 2004 closeout, but still valid. I ordered 4 compasses ($4.93 each) and had them delivered to a local REI store (free shipping).

Rumor has it the compass can be removed from the clip.
