Boot knife

I have always carried a small knife with a clip inside a front pocket of my trousers or jeans but when I ride my motorbike I find it annoying so I am going to switch to some style of boot knife , so my question is what is best how do members here that use a boot knife wear there's , in the boot , strapped to your leg . I wear corcoran lace up boots when I ride so any input would be great .Would love to see pictures of your knifes on or in your preferred wearing position .Cheers splashSee More

Compliments on my saddleback briefcase

Posted on May 5, 2012 at 9:29pm 1 Comment

When you read the brief about the saddleback briefcase is that you will get compliments everywhere , so l thought l would post on this blog every time someone comments on it .

Day two of owning said bag , young girl working the reception at my gym compliments it three times in one sentence , good start .

New group , all welcome

Posted on April 24, 2012 at 8:26pm 3 Comments

Today l have , pending approval , started a new group called " Eclectic treasures ' where l hope members can post pictures or links to everyday items that that have and use , but are much more than things , they are pieces of art in there own right .

What inspired me is the passion members have for items such as - saddleback bags , knifes , watches and such , but what about the small things , like the Chicago comb CO combs or a para cord belt .

lf approved l will get the ball rolling…

Sure i'll join your group. Quality is hard to find these days, when everything is made of plastic. In my opinion the saddleback duffel is too small for taking on a trip. It would be great if they made a bigger version of it. Talking about quality leather goods, go check out Colsenkeane.com. They also have some great bags, it is quite expensive tough.

Yeah, a support group would be great. It would make my new obsession feel more natural. Actually i have been checking out some Col. Littleton. His leather shave kit is one item i am thinking about buying, when i get rich. Littleton addiction would be a very expensive addiction. Are you also an saddleback addict?

Hey Brian! Thabks for getting back to me and clearing the air. You are right, your joke went right over my head and I, as I typically often do, over-reacted. Anyhoos please accept my apologies for this misunderstanding! I tend to be very sarcastic in my own humor and should have seen it. I'll chat with you anytime.

Best Always,

Don Devine

Dressing For the inner you.

    So I found myself entranced in conversation to a wealthy man... ,okay I misinform a very wealthy man, earlier in the week and something he said stuck with me. He said when he started his career as an entrepreneur he didn't have very good luck his business plans always fell through because he wasn't taken seriously... till he changed his style, see he dressed like everyone else had no distinction so when he dressed for his inner businessman that all changed and now he is very wealthy.       …See More
