    multitool leather sheaths?

    John, I hope that's you're right. As I have said before, his workmanship is excellent. We all know how crummy the standard-issue sheaths are, and there is definitely a market for his products. If he ever does deliver on my order, I will certainly post some feedback and let you all know that he...

    Breitling Watches

    Good point, Myron. Pretty pathetic, isn't it ... buying so many expensive watches that we require auxiliary life support systems for them?! It must be a 'guy thing' ...

    Cold War Pilots Light -- Still in production?

    [ QUOTE ] Sub_Umbra said: It was kind of a dopey light 20 years ago - it's hard to imagine a pilot buying one now, with all that's available. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I agree. Good luck, though.

    Breitling Watches

    Lurker: I agree 100%. Buying/owning a relatively expensive mechanical watch is always going to cost more than a series of cheap quartz watches, no matter how you slice it. I like my Speedmaster Pro and don't regret purchasing it, but it cannot be justified on economic terms. I wanted it, I...

    multitool leather sheaths?

    JM-99: Don't waste your time with Dix Leatherworks. As you already know, you can't get anyone on the telephone, and voicemail and email enquiries are never answered. Last December, they took C$86.52 from me for a custom order ... I now know that I'll never see anything for it. Just be happy...

    Anybody have a "Chawly Changer" coin dispenser?

    Re: Anybody have a \"Chawly Changer\" coin dispenser? To me, it looks like a solution in search of a problem ... kinda like a tip calculator. Just my opinion though; please don't take offense if you have one and swear by it.

    Breitling Watches

    Breitlings have a good reputation, and I don't think that you'll be dissatisfied with your watch. Personally, I would chose their Navitimer over the Chronomat ... but that's obviously a subjective decision. Another option would be Omega's Speedmaster Professional (one of which is on my...

    Cold War Pilots Light -- Still in production?

    If Marv Golden can't help you out, you might try Sporty's Pilot Shop ... I think that they carry (or used to carry?) these. Good luck!

    Those little pen launchers are pretty good. They're cheap, easy to use, and light and compact to carry. The flares themselves are relatively inexpensive, and while they certainly don't compare to SOLAS parachute flares, they seem to throw off a decent amount of light. The only real downside is...

    Quick Review: Pelican L1

    [ QUOTE ] Smaug said: This isn't a light that you will want to use for long periods at a time because of the battery expense. If you recognize that it was built as a backup light, always waiting, always ready, but never in the way, it is just the thing. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. I have one of these...

    UPDATE! Maxpedition Falcon/Pygmy Falcon Review

    Re: Review - Maxpedition Falcon/Pygmy Falcon backpacks Great post! A quick review of one or the other would have been useful, but to compare the two is even more helpful.

    Looks nice to me. This thread may be of interest.

    Multitool

    [ QUOTE ] JohnJ80 said: For belt holsters/sheaths there is nothing better than what you can get from Dix Leatherworks. I have ordered a lot of sheaths for multitools, flashlights, etc.. from them. Check it out, inexpensive, very high quality - highly recommended: http://www.leatherwork.com [/...
