– APtravelnews-June 30th,- Knoxville, TN.-Knives; they come in so many configurations, lengths, styles and makes-craftsmen strive to be conservative, but with their own twist on their design. Case is probably the pre-eminent standard-bearer for quality and design in the world. They have been making knives for over 100-years and they came up with a name and numbering system that also helped make the knife a strong collectible for millions!

Recently, at the OWAA Conference in Knoxville, TN. I had a chance to meet up with representatives of the Case Knife Co., now owned by Zippo Lighter. Good fit!  The model shown above is the Hobo Amber (one of over 100 models seen in their 2015 Fall Product Guide). The feel of this Hobo set is so comfortable and appealing in its heft, ease of use, and as not only a knife, but as a campers tool. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, this is your knife too!

Today, when I travel, I am not completely sure who is cleaning, handling and leaving bacteria on my utensils. Now, I will carry this and use it in restaurants and anywhere I need utensils on my camping and traveling trips. Sounds strange, eh? No, not anymore. Everywhere we go we hear of issues concerning the air we breathe, the things we eat and even how important it is to take our own pillows for the beds we rent; even at the most posh hotels and motels. Take a look at WWW.WRCASE.COM and pick out your “sharp” tool! Who knows, you may even catch the happy and enjoyable collectors bug!
