I picked up a used Gerber BMF Survival type knife that I would like to give to my grandson in Iraq - it is missing the orginal compas that come with it. Does anyone know of a source of these or know one that will fit? Thanks for the help.

I've been looking at them on the web and don't see reference to the compass, is it on the knife or is it carried in the sheath somehow? If carried in the sheath, a good small compass is in one of those compass/whistle/match safe combo tools that sells for $3.99, just buy it and pry the compass out.

I was trying to set it up as an orginal type - there is a place for it to slip into the sheath. I checked at Walmart and the like and have not found what I was looking for. Thanks for the help.

OK here's the best I can do here:

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

It was discontinued in 1999 but there was different models of the big BMF
