sorry to bother the knowers of knives again, but i had another question for anyone who has a pocket hobbit: do those sawteeth on the back of the blade do any damage to the inside of your pockets or pants? can you get sliced by them when removing it for reverse grip? should i buy stock in steristrips and Band-aids? so many questions...oh and this mysterious spring-thing: what is it for, opening assist or helping keep it closed? where is that spring at anyway? why is the sky blue? when it rains, how come my umbrella is in the car when i'm in the house and how come it's in the house when i'm in the car? why does my car find all the demon potholes on the way home from an alignment? oops, sorry, i went all Andy Rooney there for a minute. anyway, i'd appreciate any info on that aspect of the pocket hobbit. and if they come with a sheath how much does it cost to put a clip on and how long might it take? thanks.

Did you buy your Hobbit new? It should have come with a breakfront Kydex belt scabbard. If you do not have one contact who you purchased it from or REKAT. This is one of the fastest ways to deploy a folder. It is designed to work in reverse grip.

Cheers,

well, i'm looking at getting one. i'm wondering if it can be safely drawn if it has a clip put on it? and do you have to draw it from a reverse grip; how does that work? do you just kinda flick it downward or what? sorry, i haven't seen one in person, and i know they are for defensive use. so can you draw them like a typical folder? thanks again.
 
I had the same question about the teeth. I called REKAT and they assured me the teeth are completely within the handle when the knife is closed. Therefore, no damage to clothing or flesh when blade is closed.
 
The teeth on the Pocket Hobbit are not exposed when the knife is closed.

The Kydex holder is worn on the belt and the knife is carried upside down (tip up) in the holder. It is drawn by grasping it with the thumb and fingers on the sides, out of the path of the opening blade. The knife is pushed forward out of the breakfront holder and snapped downward. With practice, the knife can be drawn and deployed before a person with a switchblade can find the button.

If a pocket clip is installed, the knife will not work in the belt holder and the new side lock release is the way to go.

The older models actually work better for the breakfront fast draw than do the new ones with the side lock release. With the old one you don't have to worry about your fingers resting on the lock release and preventing the blade from swinging open freely.

I have been selling these knives since they were a new company and I haven't seen anything yet that will beat them for their purpose.

As far as I'm concerned, the rolling lock is the ONLY suitable lock for a folding combat knife. Every other lock WILL FAIL sooner or later in the rigors of close quarters combat. The dynamics and forces involved will combine to defeat even the highly touted Axis lock.

The Pocket Hobbit and Carnivour are the best suited knives for this kind of work.
