That is one fine looking Hobo, Tank.

Hey, Tank!

That Russell Hobo looks really nice! I assume it's a "take-a-part?" It certainly has a beautiful wood handle!

With "over a 100" Scout/utility knives you'll be a huge asset to this group and all of us who would love to see pictures of all those knives!

Cheers!

I have over 100 Scout/utilities but only one hobo. An A.G. Russell.

Thanks Jan.  The biggest problem with the Mercury is now I've added five more Mercs to my wishlist!  That's going to be around $300  of knives.   Really well made knives.   I also got a Mercury Mushroom knife with Olive Wood Handles. 

Come to think of it -- mushroom hunting is also done in the Great Outdoors.  I can put those images here also!

Tobias, That Mercury is pretty great!  The fork is more useful than a punch. in my opinion.

Probably 440 or an equivalent.  I see it is an older one out of Japan.  Good deal there, especially for the price!  LOL

Tobias, I didn't have to pay a lot to get that Frost Bowie knife.  In fact I didn't have to pay anything for it, it was given to me.  It does make a good hacker.  It has plenty of heft to it.  The blade is about 3/16 of inch thick.  It has a full length overmolded tang..  And now it is very sharp.  The guy at SMKW sharpened it for me and didn't charge me.  It will now slice a sheet of paper.

I have no idea what kind of steel it is.  This is all I know about the steel.

Thanks for starting this group. I am a undercover Hobo knife collector. I just wouldn't say much about it. I had no idea I wasn't the only Hobo in the bunch...lol

Charles, are you saying good things about Frost?  That's a first!  That knife looks like a beast.  I'm glad to hear a positive comment about a Frost brand knife.   Proves you don't have to pay a lot to get a hacker for the woods!

When I am out scouting and preparing for deer season, I like to strap this on my hip.  It is a Frost Bowie knife.  I have used it for a lot of things a knife shouldn't be used for, including chopping down a fair sized tree.  It is great for clearing brush away from my game cameras or for clearing shooting lanes.
