Hi!

I,ve got one of those about a month ago, brass standard length(short?) and it is a nifty and very well done little package.

Just some friendly advice here: Store the matches "heads down" in the case, that way you don't risk the buissnes end of the matches coming in to contact with your wet hands when you really need them to work.

And yes, they do put some wear on the fabric of your pocket if you keep it there.

Another tip I learned years ago; include a birthday candle or two inside the match safe. In a survival situation, or when conditions are 'precipitous' they will pay huge dividends.

Strike one match, light the candle and a better guarantee of successful fire lighting. Saves matches.
[Also advisable to include one or two birthday candles inside the handle of a Model 18.]

Cool match safes! I would like to acquire one.

One more thing to mention - the original "short" matchcase will no longer accept Diamond Brand Strike Anywhere matches unless the matches are trimmed. For some reason, about four years ago, Diamond Brand decided to lengthen their matches about 3/16". The "long" matchcase is long enough to accept the new Diamond matches and the REI Stormproof matches.

All of my matchcases are the short version, because I would rather trim matches than carry the extra weight and bulk of the long version.

Don't know why but I missed this till today. Are you still looking at getting some club cases? I like the idea. If so I'll take a couple of them.

We're still working on them. Keith had an open heart operation a couple of weeks ago so he is still on the mend. I haven't bugged him about it but I will email him in a couple more weeks. Stay tuned.
