Hi everyone,
Just in case you folks didn't know. The folks at K&M have gotten their act together and joined the rest of us in the 21st century.
That's right kiddies, you can now purchase these folks high quality matchsafes online now. I love it, I can now make impulse purchases and wait for the LBTOJ to arrive.

Here is the site: http://kmmatchcase.safeshopper.com/

Everybody stay safe and dry out there,
Cheers,

That's good to know.

It's also good to see that Schwert is still involved, at least as far as returns go. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Mike.

Well the 21st century is a challenge for both Keith and me. I put this site together for Keith and am trying my best to hold it together for him. Any processing issues are all mine....In about 2-3 weeks I will be putting up a link in the ETS MarketPlace for this....hopefully with some new colors in the lineup.

Sweeeeeet!
I'm looking forward to it!

I can vouch for K&M's new on-line system. I placed an internet order for 3 REI-sized match-safes on Sunday night, June 18; K&M shipped them on June 20; and I had the match-safes a few days later. They make excellent match-safes, of course, and they now have a place in my Mountainsmith Lumbar Day Pack, but the truth is I bought them because I love industrial art.

I love my matchcase. I got the long version from Schwert and made a mini-kit with it. It fits a bundle of matches with a striker tab, Ironraven's fishing module and line, 2 Tinderquik, a tiny roll of duct tape, a single MP-1 tablet, and some needles, safety pins, and thread. I could probably fit a bit more if I mess with the loading configuration.

The matchcase fits on my keychain and is now part of my minimum carry. One of the best purchases I've made in a while.

I order one three weeks ago and still have not received it and I have not received any responses to my email inquires

I find that surprising. I just ordered one. Enquired by email about delivery delay. Had a very prompt and courtious reply. Apparently they have run out of some of the more popular items. Keith is, even as we speak, chained to his milling machine. Please appreciate that we are talking about a bespoke, quality item that demand for, will always outstrip production. I am content to wait for the best. Be patient please.

Tom,

I have your order and Keith is working on stock as I type. We had a rather large set of orders come in due to this thread which we did not expect.

You are not the only customer I feel I have let down. I am seriously considering shutting down the website (and I have stopped taking order on it) as web businesses do not really accommodate cottage industries all that well.

Thanks Leigh for your support....your order is also in the same state as Tom's.

All outstanding orders will go out just as soon as stock in available.

I ordered the long one on the original run. Haven't dealt with the web site yet.
A previously noted; It is a high quality product worth the wait.
I'm glad to see they are available on the web site. I may order another.
