And it was a pleasure to meet you in person
Great picks! The CRKT should be a nice little neck carry. I've found that light weight is a major advantage for neck carry. (An Izula II is a little too heavy for me to want to carry it in that manner.) The Schrade looks like a 104OT; a good choice for occasions that you find yourself in dressier attire. I don't recognize the case right off the top of my head, but it will have a pattern number starting with 3 on one of the blades' tangs.
The little CASE has imitation mother of pearl handles. That's what the 9 code means. The next number 3 is the number of blades. The old CASE XX tang stamp would get some people looking at it with interest on this side of the water. I noticed that a big selling site lists the tiny Old Timer 104ot as being almost 5 inches long. Yeah, if you measure it with a blade open or something. I wonder how many people looked at the number and thought they were ordering a big pocket knife. SURPRISE! The last two elements of the tang stamp are the letters OT for Old Timer. Those are nice knives. Best wishes. G
The CRKT was your's truly.It fits in a tin altoid box if necessary.It cuts like crazy, it bit me as I was doing the paracord ; you might want to tighten it as I was too occupied with the bleeding to do a correct job. =)Have fun with it !

I forgot the cover material comes first in a Case pattern number. I think the 33 pattern is considered a medium stockman; how long is it? It looks like a nice knife with a little bit of good patina. Hang on to it!
My last and final choice is this sturdy folder which I hope make a good knife for a yard work.And how cool is to have a knife from Norway!The box is now packed again and ready to be shipped to the next destination.
