In Chapter 8, Two-Bit and Ponyboy go to visit Johnny and Dally in the hospital. After they see Johnny, Two-Bit and Ponyboy head into Dally's room where he is in the middle of an argument with the nurse. Dally explains to them that Tim Shepard came to visit him and was rubbing in the fact that Dally wouldn't be able to participate in the rumble. Out of nowhere, Dally asks Two-Bit for his fancy switchblade. Ponyboy mentions that Two-Bit's switchblade was his pride and joy. Two-Bit had acquired the black, jet handled, ten-inch-long switchblade by stealing it from a hardware store. Ponyboy says that Two-Bit walked aimlessly around the hardware store to divert suspicion for two hours in order to steal it. Ponyboy also mentions that he doesn't think Two-Bit ever used it on anyone and that he kept it more as a showpiece than anything.
