Well, here's the first knife with the new Hobbit Hole logo. It's a bit of an "oopsie" because Jeff realized it was a bit too small, and could have been at least twice as big. But since the logo is scaleable, the next ones will be done to take advantage of the space available.

If anyone is interested in this "rare factory error", freepmail me, and it's yours for half price, plus postage. Otherwise, it will go into my collection.

I've also been thinking about the two Camillus "Sierras", and am beginning to question the necessity of offering the small (they call it "medium") size. Here's the photo again, along with a Ka-Bar Dozier:

The smaller Camillus is smaller than the Ka-Bar, which I consider about the ideal size to pocket carry. The small Camillus is almost a key-chain knife. I don't think there's a GI that needs anything that small.

On the other hand, the big Camillus still fits in a BDU pocket, and is big enough to take on some chores out in the field, too. It's not a "fighting knife", but is a whole lot more scarey than the little one.

I'm now thinking we should go exclusively with the bigger Camillus. That opportunity wasn't available with the CRKT or Ka-Bar, but is now. Plus, I'm hoping Camillus will continue to be a stand-up company, and give us a deal on them.

Comments, as always, are appreciated. You folks are, after all, the "board of directors".
