Does anyone have info about any new folding knives?

 

[Peter Atwood]

A new knife company called Phantom Knives will debut this winter at the SHOT show. They will have a very interesting retractable point neck knife and a liner lock folder which I have not seen yet. The materials will be top notch since the knives are being made by the biggest supplier of raw materials to the knife industry.

Few new ones to me at A.G. Russell’s site and at the Knife Center (Knife Center has a good news page at http://www.knifecenter.com/news/ ):

Blackjack AUS8 folders with white micarta:

RS -- quite a bit of info lately on the Spyderco forums. Possibly a bit more at the company forum than the one here. They can now post pictures over there, which is helpful.

Spyderco should have out 3 or 4 folders by around the first of the year. Happy Day!!

Someone mentioned the "Balckbird", so I'll chime in with the new Emerson lineup.

The "Blackbird" is basically a revamping of the "Raven" line. The Polymer body of the Raven has been replaced with G10 scales and Ti liners.

The Blackbird will be available in both "A" (Spearpoint)

and "B" (Tanto) blade styles

My understanding is that Blackbirds are available now.

The new "Mini Commander" should be be available very soon. The "Mini-C" will be basically a scaled down (3.4 inch)version of the regular sized Commander. Everyone that saw it at Blade Show really dug it.

Custom ES1-M 4 inch on top, Production sized Commander 3.75 inch middle and Mini-C 3.4 inch on bottom

Last up at Blade was the "Triton X-39", EKI's first auto design. There will of course be a manual version of the Triton as well.

Just go to the emerson page of knifecenter and you can see it, I think. I found the Mo Skeeter picture that way...

Every day, somewhere around the world, will come out at least one new folder. So this topic wil have no end 'till doomsday.
Happy sharpening

Yes there will always be something new but knife aficionados can't wait for the next new model. Please post urls of the new stuff. Thanks
