And w that title said, the retail on many items are sky high; 475 for the Recon Scout 3v ,500+ for the Trailmaster 3v that S35 4max is as much as the 20cv one. I hope the street prices are much lower .Check their site under 2021 products and hold on to your hats,at least on the higher end items.The lower priced items are low,but 8cr13mov and 4034 as expected....

List price on the 3V are high , but will eventually come down , I expect .

At least they are offered as option for those that are willing to pay the premium price .
 
Some nice prices (once we see street price) on the low end items - but have to accept the "crap" steel in a lot of peoples opinions. The high end - Wow ! 3V great - but as yoda says - "you will pay, yes you will" : )
 
yep. yikes. let's hope the 3v is a better price through dealers.
 
The Arkansas toothpick is surprisingly cheap. Can’t wait to see the street price. I’m also happy to see the new range boss. My broken skull is my favorite knife and having a cheaper version would be nice.
 
I had my eyes on Kyoto and Mini Leatherman, but I gave up when I saw 8Cr13MoV steel and glass filled secure-ex sheath combo...

3V models are awesome, but you can get better things at these prices, and also in better sheaths.

Compare that to the price of 3V SRK or even Warcraft Tanto and it's not very exciting.
 
The mini recon 1 seems pretty reasonable probably gonna be 55 or so the 3v recon might be 375 the trailmaster 400 i didnt expect them to be that much gonna have to see about them...,
 
I'll likely buy at least one of the new 3V knives, maybe two. I'm sure that even with the discounted prices the knives will be expensive, but I'm willing to pay the price for one or two of them solely due to the 3V.

I'm definitely buying a 3V Laredo now, and maybe a 3V Trailmaster or the Kukri Plus. I already have three other Carbon V Trailmasters, so I guess logically I should go for the Kukri, however I am still a huge fan of the Trailmaster and may decide on that one just to add to the collection. I'll have to wait and see.

Although my kids will, I'm sure, sell many of my knives after I leave this earthly plane, these 3V knives would probably be kept and passed on in the family along with a few others. I presently have the Master Tanto and Magnum Tanto II in 3V. They were not cheap, but they are simply awesome knives.

After I buy these knives, I'm probably done buying any other knives until next year. I currently have thirteen Cold Steel fixed blades. After buying these new 3V knives, I think I'll shift my purchasing to something else that interests me. Although I love Cold Steel blades and am happy with my small collection, I'm not really a collector in the true sense of the word. Besides, ammo prices are killing me right now!!
 
Saw the price on the 4 max and almost fainted. I figured it would be a mid priced 4 max, like ad10/15 price bracket. $500? Nope. I won't bite on that. The ad15 lite seems a bit steep as well, will be interesting to see what the street price ends up being. I'll be watching.
 
I might, just might buy Mini Recon 1 if the price in my country is fair.
If you take a standard 25% off the MSRP the mini recon 1 came out to be $60, which is not bad considering the competition. The Spyderco Delica 4 in VG10, which is arguably similar steel is selling at $84 MAP price right now, and it's in FRN scale. Comparing with other CS model that also uses AUS10 i.e. Airlite, the price is also not bad.

Obviously this is assuming the MAP pricing is 25% OFF MSRP. With GSM, this could be higher or lower. Historically, before CS implemented MAP pricing for some model(i.e. AD10 and AD15) in 2019, the street price is usually around 45% OFF MSRP.

Anyway, we shall see once the retailer started posting these new products.
 
Isn't the CS MAP pricing 85% of the the MSRP? So unless they re-do their MAP pricing, 85% of the MSRP will be the street price. Except for unauthorized dealers, dealers who don't give a crap, and dealers who do un-advertised sales.

Looked at the AD10 and 15 on a few sites and they seemed to be at 80%
