This was a bad topic! It showed me that web site for the peanut lighter. Ended up buying a GSAR watch.

FYI, under RKS Internal Affairs Bylaw 4218-C, you are required to post a photo of your #18 for official club registration.



I do not own one of these capsules, so I have not tried it. The internal dimension of my handle is approximately 3 1/4" X 7/8" (not including space up into the buttcap). Yesterday, I emailed the website asking for actual measurements. If it still measures exactly one inch wide, unfortunately, it won't fit. I'll let you know their reply.



I'm pretty sure that watch ain't going in the handle.

550 Paracord in 37 colors, any length, and FREE shipping to USA addresses! I've ordered from them before. They're good to go!

Hey Tom,
I've already complied with RKS Internal Affairs Bylaw 4218-C. Check my pics under the # 18s dated 20/March/2011. Whew!! Thought I'd really screwed up for a minute. I will try and post some better ones soon as those do not do the knife justice.
Great thread!

Mr. Duke,

Your photo check has cleared. Registration complete. Good looking knife. Carry on...

Tom,
Did you notice the logo in the lower right corner?

I did, Rick. Someone needs to sign up Roto Kid's Shop as a Banner Ad Supporter.

the small size bic lighter fits right in

Here's an interesting article on the subject. It also touches on Nalgene vials that fit in hollow handles.

Thought this letter should be in this thread, especially for those who have not read it...

After receiving his Model 18 in the war zone, Captain George Ingraham wrote: "I have wrapped the knife handle with one layer of nylon monofilament--to be used as fishing line--and will tuck a couple of hooks in the handle. At sea or in the jungle, you can usually catch fish and eat them, if you have the gear. Over that, I have a small guitar string, which I propose to use in making snares for small animals. Fine music wire or black twine would be better, but we are limited in the availability of raw materials out here. Over the guitar string and monofilament goes a wrapping of surgical tape to keep the fine stuff from unraveling. On top of the tape, I wrapped two regulation leather bootlaces of black rawhide (although alternate black and brown would make a nicer design) and used the ends to make a wrist thong--essential if you find yourself out on the water. This furnished a good handle and can also be unraveled for use if needed. The handle accomodates twelve water purification tablets, ten Dexedrine tablets, and ten one-half-grain codeine pills with ease. These will enable a man to survive in the jungle for several days, ease the pain of injuries, and--with the Dexedrine--summon reserve energy for combat, escape and evasion, swimming water barriers, etc. The water purification tablets will each handle one canteen full of swamp water and make it potable."
