HERE ARE A FEW PICS!
For Starters:
CRKT
Introducing a new Carson design m4 neck knife . . . really small really sweet!
Also introducing a totally new knife that is a variation of the m16 called the m18! It is also a Carson design but with G10 inlays in the aluminum handles instead of holes, blade style similar to Kershaw Boa with lots of belly and some recurve, inlays will be available in red blue and black and will ship in August . . . it was sweet! Also they have a new small folder from Italy that is quite nice, called the Contrail.
Last, for you KFF fans it is coming out with aluminum handles with holes similar to the m16 . . . also very nice

GERBER
The new loveless design hunter was very nice but I was very impressed with the Harsey Air Ranger IIs! It will be offered in a second generation version of the 3" size and they have added a 4" size that includes the LAWKS style secondary lock . . . light as a feather and really tight!

S&W
I never thought I would say something good about them but here goes! If you saw Dexter's post in the What's New section, you already know that they are releasing two new Darrel Ralph designs. The fixed blade is HUGE! It is not bad but the sheath stinks! The real gem is the HRT mg folder!!! It was a really awesome knife for the 30 something price range. I really think this will be a deal-o-the-year!

MICROTECH
The tachyon is set to arrive tomorrow morning but they have introduced a new neck knife that is quite nice. Neck knives are definitely "in" but this one is really nice with skeltonized handles and a leather sheath. (it can be seen on TADs sight)

ONE HAPPY CAMPER with a TACHYON!!!

My cheap camera does NOT do it justice!

BENCHMADE
They are introducing an new leather sheathed, wood handled fixed blade that is a McHenry and Williams collaboration. It is a really nice blade that is going to be in the 100 category. It has a satin finished 154cm blade and wood handles!! Something quite unusual for BM!

Let me say that I asked each manufacturer for permission to make these photos and when I asked BM if I could take photos for Blade Forums they said "I don't guess we can do anything about it or stop you." What is up with that????

GRECO
Nothing new here . . . it was just fun seeing everyone stampede to his table for the 50% off sale!!!

MORE TO COME!

I restrained myself . . . only bought two knives so far!

It has been great. Jason we have to get together tomorrow. Mo, Max where the heck were you at the A.B.S. dinner?

On the Custom End. Richard Rogers pulled a coup with Best in Show, Best Folder (same knife) and Best utility.

Baily Bradshaw won Best knife submitted for Mastersmith testing. (Descriptions are in the Custom Forum).

(Bailiey's and Richard's knives are mind- blowing)

Nite folks. Day started at 5:15 today after a 1:00 end the night before and tomorrow is more of the same. It has been a blast and I am already a crispy critter, by Sunday I should be fully toasted.

I just put up a few pics and some new info . . . the forum software would only let me post 7 pics . . . I'll put more up later! The Tachyon is REALLY awesome and I got to play with the AMPHIBIAN with the old cam lock. IMHO Mike Turber was right! It would not have sold with that feature . . . if you have not handled it you can stop flaming Mike for wanting the cam-lock off. It is a GREAT knife but absolutely impossible to use/sell with the cam. The new model will be a great knife . . . I will be getting one!

Jason, that is only 7 per post, so you can add them to each post of yours....please do so

we just love to see what you were able to look at! And that is weird what BM said to you, what's up with that!
