I check out Blackahwk's website fairly often (mostly the sales page) and came across some new knives today.
The two that caught my eye the most are the CQD Mk1 Type E. As far as I can tell, this is essentially an economy model of the MOD CQD Mk1. It's priced at $99 MSRP which makes me really happy as I've been eyeing that Mk1 for a while but could never justify the $270 or so!

The other one was the "Be-Wharned" (I think it's just a really clever name if nothing else
). The blade style isn't my usual taste but the knife seems pretty neat and something I'd give a shot now.

The fixed blades they just came out with are the "Small Pry" (again, clever names) and the "United Kingdom Special Forces." I don't like the "Small Pry;" I'd rather just have a pocket pry-bar from County Comm but it's another unorthodox kind of thing that gets a second look from me. I like the looks of the UKSF but we'll see how good it really is.

As of now I own none of these (as they just got out) but I hope to get that CQD Mk1 Type E and get a review up ASAP. IMHO Blackhawk is stepping up and might become a common name in the knife industry instead of an oddity/novelty.
