[mattyshinobi22]

just spotted this on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/cheddarcla...item4d160cf4b9

dont think David Johnston-Allen is back making them again, so someone must of bought the rights and are making replicas?

Somebody already brought these to my attention, apparently a high class luggage maker has got the rights to make them, can only be good news ???
Seem to have a nice range going

their photographer seems to have something against showing the clasps

The thing is, I don't like these case where you only have short little separators, but they do look nice.

... I don't like these case where you only have short little separators....

Yeah same here, extensions can scratch your shaft !!!

I saw these last week .........the hinge doesn't look very robust to me .

And as Dean says......photography not the best .

Suppose we will have to see one in the flesh to make an accurate judgement , but in my opinion there is a market for a new mass produced case manufacturer .

Seem to recall that Dave went out to the Far East and got shafted [ Excuse the pun ! ] over there .

Any one shed any light on it ?

Hope the cases are better than their spelling.

About a much use as an ashtray on a motorbike without dims though JRC .

Strange selling straight to Ebay........would have thought that they would have set up a website .

Well you could always ask
It does say prototypes in the listing, maybe when they are happy with them will be sold thro a website ???

I spoke to him via ebay last night, very helpful seller, offered me a few options if I wanted to get a case made from them.

did you ask them what's the story?

Where are they based and how come they're doing cheddar classics?
