It rather seemed the obvious needed stating eh? I was quite concerned that you had no basic understanding of the strike on the box match function.

Strike Anywhere matches are not available in certain locations depending on state or local laws. I can buy them in any grocery store in Washington. There is an internet site selling them and people offer them on ebay. If you do a search here you may be able to locate the internet vendor, I cannot quite recall the place. Some people who live in states that have restricted the sale, have found them in hardware stores in the BBQ area.

I really am not defending the matchcase, but I do highly recommend it, it requires no defending what-so-ever. As of last year, Keith Lunders is selling these without my assistance so I no longer have any financial interest in their sales.

The knot note has always pleased me.
