All About Pocket Knives

First one that I have noticed.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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?
