Latest acquisition from Goodwill. I found many references to the knife and I think they had there own page here, not sure. Also there are lots of photo's of the pocket hobbit and the logo looks to have been changed several times. Any R.E.K.A.T fans on here help me verify. Built like a tank, thick g-10 but not much texture solid lockup and it appears on quick look to use allen screws but not sure yet. On the face side the thumb stud must have come off and was replaced by very small nuts, any guess on size?




 
Yep, thats a Round Eye Knife and Tool (REKAT) pocket hobbit. Had the fixed hobbit after they finally produced it and it was AWESOME. Lost it in a house fire.
 
I have one at home. At first glance it looks good but I will take a more-detailed look at it later if you want.
 
Great find ! Looks genuine to me , except for the thumb stud bolt mod . ;)

You made the point of telling us you found it at Goodwill. It's an obvious and natural question. You act like you weren't inviting it. :confused:

Agreed. Although the price really is not any of our business, it is a natural response to ask when it's implied that someone got a super great deal. Stating you got it at the Goodwill does just that.

It's like the full-size Griptilian I picked up at an REI used gear sale. Before tax, it was $19.93! Don't you think that I am going to tell the world about that deal?

It's natural to get excited about a good deal. Why share the good news but expect us not to ask?

Awesome find. The Rekat pocket hobbit is related ti the Al mar warrior and Spyderco warrior. It is designed to be used in reverse grip edge out with the teeth on the spine used for scraping inside an opponent’s arms.

The idea being you stab towards him and he puts up his arm to block. The knife is now past his arm and when you pull it back towards you the teeth on the spine will hit against the inside of his forearm.

:) Yes ! I have the fixed Spyderco Warrior version with spyderco type sharp slicing serrations . The original idea IIRC was to have more of a grabbing , holding and tearing type teeth ? :eek:

It is sort of similar to the inside reverse edge idea expoused by Southnarc for his pikal knives. In the pikal style you stab for the face and when blocked you hook the inside of the blocking arm and pull cut it.

The warrior and hobbit series are for a more advanced filipino martial art. They use the spikes on the spine for trapping techniques as well so they wanted the teeth to be able to grab.
 
Ok, Ok, $78.00. Has anyone taken one apart as there is gunk and junk I can see around the pivot pin?
