Flask for the MK VII
I found that my pilot's survival flask fits absolutely perfectly into the inside pocket of my MK VII (WPG repro, not an original).
They are pretty cheap, too, at about $2.50.

Not quite as sharp as a leather-covered flask mentioned a few threads ago, but holds a full pint instead of a few ounces.

Technically it is a canteen. They are a standard piece of gear in military pilot survival kits and are designed to fit into the pockets of a survival vest. I "appropriated" one out of our kits in '97 and have carried it ever since. They are tough as blazes.Snakewhip_Sable wrote:Wouldn't using it for (yeeeuch!) water make it a canteen and not a flask?
I dunno.
I think they just call it a flask due to its shape, which is slightly curved to lay better against your body in the survival vest, but it is intended for water.
