Amen to that.
I have a few pieces of outdoor kit that I take on every trip. The K and M matchcase is one. When canoeing I keep it in my buoyancy aid.
It is reliably waterproof.
It holds a lot of matches.
You can strike them on the knurled body.
The compass is reliable and useable.
The aluminium version is very light.
I reckon the K and M matchcase is the best of its kind and I'm grateful to Schwert for sourcing them for us. I have no connection except as a satisfied customer.
The brass one makes a nice gift/heirloom, but, IMHO, is too heavy for the backpacker.
