I travel a great deal and sometimes find myself in a hotel room with something for the microwave, but nothing to eat it with -- some hotels sell food but don't offer knives or forks. Hmmm. So, this little combo lives in my shaving kit. It's small, very well made and has a really good sharp knife.
The devil in travel is the details, and product makes life potentially easier. Oh, and it is great in a backpack, too. |
A Superior Utensil Knife

| I recently bought this hobo and it came in 5 days with standard shipping. As are most Ka-bar products this is a superior product. It is heavy, large, made of stainless steel (which is a huge bonus), and it comes with a pouch. This is great because it's sturdy nylon and it has two belt wearing options (depending on the size of your belt). So it will fit on your jean belt or your military/survival belt! Naturally, I wish it was made in the USA but it has no comparison to other Asian manufactured brands like Coleman (who makes an awfully inferior hobo) just to name a few. Ka-bar is on top of the hobo world with this innovative piece of equipment. It's not that much money (easy to find for $20 or less) but excellent quality! My only complaint is that the sliding fork on mine is a little looser than the spoon and of it's orgin of manufacturing (but that's so Ka-bar can keep up with the competition). As far as I know Ka-bar has stopped making the "non-sliding" colored hobos for some reason. I hope this model will stay for awhile because I get the feeling I'll need some more with my love of camping and outdoor cooking. As far as the other company's hobos go: Case is to expensive and is not made with stainless steel (unless that's what your looking for), Coleman is cheaply made, and most of the others are to. I wish Victorinox would make a hobo. Anyway, buy this hobo, heck by a handful for all your family or camping buddies. It's worth every penny and more! Another strike for Ka-bar Knives! |
It goes everywhere with me!

I work in the field all day. I pack my luch everyday and this set is great. The fork is able to pick up everything a regular fork would pick up, the spoon is as basic a spoon as at home but will not bend. And the knife is sharp and holds it's edge very well. The mechanics of the 3 units sliding together is simple but very well put together. No signs of breaking down or weakening. Stainless steel cleans up very well and stores almost anywhere. I also take it camping. I am very impressed!

This is an excellent tool to have. I bought 2 of these, one for my self and one for a buddy. They are perfectly crafted and come apart smooth unlke some other brands of hobo knives ive owned in the past.
This knife will come with me on all my field ops and deployments I go on.
A must buy for those who are in the military like my self or for those who just love to camp alot. Cant go wrong for that price. |
Great product
