Folding handle..

[saxonaxe]

Anyone know of a source for a stainless mug with folding handle? Tatonka was favourite until a supplier told me that the factory ( in Vietnam) that supplies them was recently flooded!! No more exports 'til mid to late March. All the usual stockists seem to have run out except 'BronzeMoon' possibly....:p Needs to be 8.5 cm diameter minimum to fit a particular bottle/flask. :)

Wait till they go back into production!!you will prob get it faster than if you order it from Bronzemoon!!!

;) You could well be right Midas, I'll give our Moonie friend a miss I think ;) I thought Tatonka was German gear but apparently it comes from Vietnam !! Shame, I was trying to make up a flask/mug combo for a nippers birthday present.

Army surplus stores ?

I've had a fair scout round the usual, but haven't found a round mug. Kidney shape stainless/ally surplus..no problem. The lightweight/climbing shops have Titanium gear but it's a mortgage..:ashamed:

GSI glacier is the closest alternative to the Tatonka mug.

Also fits the Nalgene bottle.

Yes, I thought I was in luck with that Rune, but it's 7.6cm diameter. I have a Klean Kanteen 1182ml (1.2 litre) that I was hoping to fit a mug on to make up a Dave Canterbury style set as a present for a 9 year old camping fanatic ;)

If Amazon have got the measurements correct this one may fit. That Nalgene bottle is 32 oz, the Klean Kanteen is 40 oz (1.2 litre) but the mug in the photo is apparently 3.5 inches diameter which is near enough to 9cm. So I suppose the difference is in the height of the bottles not the diameter. So hopefully the mug will fit the 32 and 40 oz bottles.
Anyway my head hurts, never was good at maths...:D :D So I've ordered a mug.

Thats the exact same mug as I linked to on Ebay :-)

Yep, thanks. I did check your Ebay link and it said they don't deliver to UK. But you saved the day because I just hunted it down elsewhere. I've been looking and thinking the 32 oz Nalgene bottles were thinner than the 40 oz Kleen Kanteen but apparently not, so hopefully someone will get their present. Why she can't play with dolls like other girls I don't know...( My mates Grandaughter) ;) ;)

Try Alpkit.com. Their titanium mug is good as is their cup and for Ti stuff they are cheap.

Where did you get it from in the end?

It's the one suggested by FishyFolk, coming via Amazon, the 32oz Nalgene bottle shown with the cup is the same diameter as a Kleen Kanteen 40oz (according to Nalgene website..http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Others/others-301.GIF...;)
