The suspense of not knowing what was new from Benchmade, Camillus, and other fine manufacturers is killing me! I have seen a few tidbits here and there, but can you give us something a little more comprehensive?

Is there any truth to the rumor about a carbon fiber 940-something by Benchmade? It will be too cool if this is true.

What producers are adding S30V to their lineup?

Thanks,

Geode:)
 
Geode, where did you hear the 940 CF rumor? That would be a helluva package. If they could get the CF shaping correct, it would be right up at the top of the market for factory knives IMHO.
 
I'm sure everyone involved with the Blade show needs a vacation.

But for those of us who missed out this silence is torture! No one has said much about the blade show except for Busse. BTW, Swamp Rats are extremely cool! But what a bummer about the lack of a Busse folder! :(

What I'm most curious about is the Darrel Ralph/Wilsom Combat folders. Did anyone get to play with them? Was anyone able to buy one? Is Timascus going to be possible?

Oh well, whenever you're ready Dex!:)
 
Hurry up and get back to us:D

OMRie, you are right - folks are probably beat.

Architect - I went looking for the thread that mentioned some CF model 94X, but couldn't find it. Thought it was in the BF discussion forum, but I cruise several forums and could not back track.

I did however, call Benchmade today to see if I could confirm the CF 94X. All the customer representative would say is that some osborne 94? was under consideration for the CF treatment. If they make an even more ergonomic and large version of the 770 weighing in at just over 2 oz. it would be killer. I do not want to stir up anyone's hopes, just trying to run down a rumor.
 
I saw the CF osborne at Blade. It has a cf handle and a D-2 clip point blade. They will be out in August. I got a chance to handle it. It is really sweet.Projected MSRP is $200
 
Hey guys! I just got back from the Blade Show trip and will post a complete run down of the new stuff here. I'm sure by now you have already found out but I'm still going to summarize it here for posterity. Yup, the 941 has D2 and CF scales. It is really sweet!! More later after I get some food and rest...
