A gift of a 'Marbles' compass and a Mora Eldris short blade knife revealed ( to me at least ) a quite surprising fact. The Mora is stainless steel and in my experience stainless steel blades normally have a generally low if any effect on a magnetic compass. Not so the Mora !! Although only a couple of inches long and stamped stainless, at a measured distance of 2 inches from the little, reasonable quality, compass it will spin the needle 180 degrees.....At 3 inches it will pull the compass 45 degrees off course every time.
I mention this because I saw a photo of someone wearing an Eldris as a neck knife with a small compass attached to the lanyard...
I suspect it was probably that bloke who keeps writing about getting lost..
