For grins:
Small compass in endcap of handle of inexpensive Harbor Freight survival knife, see attachment below.
Actually works pretty good, very responsive.
Only problem is the handle itself happens to be strongly magnetic which throws the little compass off by almost 45° in this setup. End of knife handle is on left, throwing off the little compass. The compass "pointer" is actually the whole compass face. North is actually toward the bottom of the image.
I have no idea how come the handle itself got magnetized. It also holds some fishing line, a couple of matches, match-striking material, a fish hook and some differently-colored thread hanks. I presume there's a needle in there, too, but I never looked since it's all in a transparent waterproof package.
I wonder if the Orienteering classes warn folks to be aware of other things on their person which might be magnetic. Like hatchet heads, e.g.
Since it's a survival knife, I also put a $20 bill in the handle. With inflation, though, I'm thinking I ought to change that to a C-note.
The knife itself seems rather serviceable... nothing to brag about at around $10.00, but... serviceable, and if you drop it in the lake, you won't feel too bad about leaving it there.
Grins.
