That's an awfully large flask of single malt whisky!


I suppose you could then get your family crest engraved on the nice shiney sides...

applies to anything stainless that has movement.

the less movement or vibration in stainless the less it work hardens and the less it cracks. stainless contains chromium, it hates vibraton, being welded to hot and cooling very slowly or too quickly...

dont know the exact figures but low grade stainless is about 20x times more prone to cracking than mild steel in the same environment.

a well baffled tank will last a hell of a lot longer than one that has heaps of movement as it will crack beside where it moves.

it is also a very dirty metal and attracts bacteria in way greater numbers than just about anything else :P

but it looks pretty and is easy to clean in a commercial environment.

Yes but that means a 'giant hip' to carry it, but then you could sure work up a thirst

Yep.

Apparenlty you can't use the "green" metal ones for water (well that's what the labels say ), so if you wanted to carry water in a metal can I guess these would be worth considering - but they would need to be half that price.
