Hobbit Hole skunk works, part 1

November 15th, 2005

This is the first edition of a new series of articles at the Hobbit Hole. Mainly, it consists of neat stuff that troops can use, but which we only bought limited numbers of.

In this case, it’s the Conneticut River Knife and Tool “Falcon”, designed by custom knifemaker Pat Crawford. It’s a high-quality linerlock, and when I was able to buy it online for 60% off, I had to jump on the offer. I just can’t let bargains for our troops go away without snagging at least a few. We have three and only three to give away, so the first three requests get the knife.

Here it is, with our standard Camillus 904S folding knife as a comparison:

It’s a large, sturdy folding knife, with a blade of AUS6M steel. Above the pocket clip is a special “safety” that can be engaged to prevent the liner lock from being disengaged while the blade is open. Overall, a very nice knife.

Keep watching for further installments of the Hobbit Hole “skunk works” for one (or three) -of-a-kind special items.
