Great pick! I was considering it too.

And it was a pleasure to meet you in person :)

For my second choice I stay with the small factor. I am  mostly SAK person, but after seeing and holding these two I understand the appeal of the traditional knives!
They are small but feel very solid and sturdy and I am strangely drawn to them. Both of them apparently saw some proper use, but no abuse and I can see myself swapping my usual 58s for one of these from time to time.
I have no knowledge of the tradionals. I did try to find some information online and it seems the white/yellowish is Case Stockman Small and the other is Schrade USA Minuteman - please correct me if I’m wrong.

Great picks! :tu: 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. :cheers:

Indeed it is 1040T!  :hatsoff:

The tang stamp on the case is CASE XX on one side and 9333 on the other.

Thanks for your input!

   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

Thanks a lot for the additinal info! So it seems that the Case is good base for a fancy retirement fund?  ;) Hidden gem in a surprise box! It really is a nice knife.

Thanks as well for the OT explanation - I read it as 1040 T and not 104 ot.

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 !

If anybody is interested in this knife, please let me know. I would be happy to donate it to your collection.

I forgot the cover material comes first in a Case pattern number. :facepalm: 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! :tu:

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.
