My dumb idea for kilt pin

[Alan H]

What about making up a tiny wood-shelled stropped block? Even more arcane, but I think it'd be very cool.

Now, wouldn't THAT be cool? It'd be a blinking lot of work, but I'd wear one in a flash if I could find/make one.

I think I have plans for a wood penny bullet block. Where a penny become the cheek and stops the bearing from comming out. would make a decent size.

If you could get your hands on a Popski's Private Army cap badge , you would have a grand kilt pin ..... 'cept you would run the risk of being debagged by the desert rats

I agree with your sentiment, but hopefully if the wearer was in a kilt there would be nothing to debag - other wise he would deserve to be debagged for being 'bagged' quite apart from wearing somebody else's badge.

I'm editing to add that I think the original idea is good if it can be made practical. I think accessorizing (my spell checkers says that spelt wrong but is not suggesting the right spelling) with items that are personal to you or your area or interests is a great idea. How about a piece of fancy rope work with a turk's head for your nautical theme. Or perhaps a piece of nautical ropework as a sporran strap...

Well... Good luck.

The PPA eh? Now that was an interesting group of chaps.

For the money, I have always preferred Harkin blocks to Schaefer or Ronstan.
I carry a Harkin Microblock key chain purchased from West Marine that is pretty compact, but lacks the swivel of yours.
