WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?

[johnnierotten]

First one that I have noticed.

[313 Mike]

I've been looking to pick up a Case Hobo for a while now, and got this one in courtesy of Jerry zp4ja! I've been carrrying it and showing it off the last two days, really well built knife and I love the chestnut bone! The two pieces seperate easily but lock up tight, and the lack of a spoon means it's still pocket friendly enough that I can carry it comfortably! Thanks Jerry for setting me up with this one, I'm diggin' it!

Well Mike I love your hobo,great knife.

Mike -- I too have wanted a Hobo for years but it's one of those knives I've always been afraid would end up in Phil's "Ever been disappointed with a "had to have knife"?" thread.

[johnnierotten]

I decided to review this knife, so that means I've got to carry her

Scott...that’s the first one that I have noticed without pins. .....She looks nice enough..but whats your first impression?

[TripleF]

First impression is - small. That's what's stuck in my noggin' right now. Medium snap on the clip blade....that's another thought.

I did look at some other 9208's on the bay and didn't see pins on them either.....

Here's a link to a thread from a few years back about Case's use of the Corelon handles....

Thanks Mike!

[johnnierotten]

Good info,Mike.

Scott...you are correct..I went on the bay and saw several with no pins. ....I don't buy many newer case knives and if I do they usually have some sort of natural scale material.
Looking forward to your review.

Betcha can't guess what's in my Right Front Pocket....

Hint: Grail!

I am diggin this Queen Rogers bone pen and gonna stick with it for a bit.

[Just Plain Dave]

I can see why you would Gino! But if I had anything as remotely cool as my Boys Knife it would be a tough choice!

[TripleF]

It's Show & Tell today at the cigar shop!!! Ok, not really, but the guys usually ask what I am carrying and reviewing!

[Just Plain Dave]

My lounge pants have a nice soft pocket. So I tossed some RR MOP in one:

now an old Pat Crawford

Back to the RR in the above pic. Curious this one. The Clip and Wharncliffe blades are SHARP! Tiny bit of work with a steel and paper don't stand a chance.

The third blade however is tough to get to to do paper!

Reminds me of a Buck Trapper that has a wicked Clip and a not so wicked Spey.......

Been carrying this one in the rfp for a week or so. man does it hold an edge. anybody know who made these for Wards? 390 is stamped on reverse tang of master. 4 1/4" closed.

[jerryd6818]

I think I remember seeing someplace that Winchester had the contract back when they were making knives and I'm pretty sure that later on, the Schrade/Ulster/Imperial consortium made the knives for Montgomery Wards.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

[gino]

I cant keep this little Queen pen outta my pocket. I just like it.

[danno50]

Stancaiman, I like that Crawford knife, have never seen a locking mechanism like that before. How easily does the lock release, can it happen in use by putting too much pressure on the handle?
