22 gru 2007 · #1. Some of you may have noticed that I tend to carry a K&M match safe a lot in the field. It always has matches and striker, and a small ceramic rod for edge touch up if I need it. But that's not the only reason I like it. It also has a decent 20mm compass. Now, I have a few compasses. I am fond of mirrored sighting compasses for several reasons.
12 gru 2022 · The K&M has more history though. For a purely functional metal match safe, these days I would probably take the Exotac XL. It has no compass, but it does have a striker pad on the inside, which is helpful as strike-anywhere matches are now mostly displaced by safety matches.
The other primary difference and one of the handy things about the K&M is the compass built into the cap. It is a quality compass and calibrated true with my K&R Alpin as well as my Cammenga. The orange cap on the case serves to protect the compass.
