I posted this reply in another thread that was asking about the quality of the Liberty Mountain (Olicamp) matchcase. I thought I would post my reply here as well...
For what it's worth, don't waste your time on any other matchcase except the one from K&M. I'm a matchcase freak who has considered all of them and the K&M is by far the best on the market. The quality and workmanship is outstanding for the price. The design is simple and 100% reliable. The case body is machined from solid bar stock. And it's made is the USA!
I have two matchcases. One in brass which is heavy, but absolutely gorgeous and one in plain, brushed aluminum (not anodized) which is light, but still very tough. The plain aluminum matchcase had to be special ordered.
My brass matchcase is several years old and has a luminous Brunton compass. My new aluminum matchcase has a beautiful, blue faced, non-luminous Suunto compass. Both are very high quality and accurate.
K&M is now using O.D. military spec cord which is tighter woven than the old cord and doesn't seem to snag as easy on the case knurling.
If you order from their website the price is $19.00 plus $4.05 shipping. If you give Keith a call @ 208-826-3447 and order direct, the price is $15.00 plus $4.05 shipping. Not sure why.
Trust me, you can't go wrong with a K&M Matchcase!
