Early Alpkit original (black) would be perfect, or else whatever you have have

what are the dimensions
17 cm length [ soft closure bit is 3 cm, closed it about 16 cm]
circ 9 cm
Mine are about 3- 5 years old though, no idea if they have changed - never had any issue using them

just measured mine:
165mm deep including the soft close
90mm wide
Mine are also a few years old and are branded as B'twin, the ones linked are 'riverside'. Apart from the label, they look the same.

Many thanks for measuring both. A bit shorter than Alpkit etc but will be fine for a start. Will order one to tie me over.
Still interested in anything longer and in black if anythas anything

I have two Alpkit stem cells in black, I'm not a fan due to them getting in the way of my knees. Could be persuaded to part with the pair, as I'd rather they went together...
