Apart from feeling quite sick, the mental image leads to a question - where would you EDC anything in that getup?

Part of me knows I'm going to regret asking that.

Well the 91mm are fine, but the 111mm are more than a bit of a bugger to carry that way :D

I dont own a hobo knife but use a foldable Spork instead:


I think its much more usable and its lighter, too.

got the knife on friday and first impression is mixed
pros -its the right size for my purpose(goes into edc bag)
       -tolls are well finished and handles have a good grip
       -will fit most standard pouchs
cons-fork on mine is rough to open(use will fix this)
      -doesnt come apart without tools for cleaning or to use seperate items like the next model up
      -didn't come with its own pouch

for the price i will keep it and use it for what i got it for which was to replace the spork in my edc work bag
