Last one before the SHOT Show. This is the Kershaw Piston:

USA Made, A/O, 3 1/2" 14C28N Blade, Aluminum scales, MSRP $99.95

The Piston is the best. This is one beautiful knife.

That looks nice! Kershaw never fails to impress me with the diversity and quality of their products.

Oh man, now im going to have to buy a Knockout AND Piston...oh well, i'll get over it.
Any chance that any of these new models (Knockout, Piston, Echelon) will come in a different steel or composite blade?

looks great! love the blade shape :thumbup:

I absolutely love this one -- fantastic blade and handle shape. The only thing that'd make it better for me is a manual flipper instead of A/O.

Impressive and no finger relief cut for accidentally disengaging the lock bar! I hate relief cuts. Good to see some designs without them.:thumbup:

 

[goodeyesniper]

very nice. almost good enough to make me forget about my dislike of flippers to snag one up. not quite though

That is an awsome lookin' folder, now I want one.

Over time, I'll say yes.

As with the Echelon and Knockout, there is no ETA at this time. Will keep you posted.

Another Kershaw folder with a flipper sans the thumb studs? Remember the JYD II ? Is Kershaw planning to introduce more models such as these? Fast to open but perhaps slower to close due to the lack of thumb studs.

That blade grind is outstanding. Very sleek lines.
This is, by far, my favorite of the "first look" set.
I mean, the other two are hot, but this one is damn sexy.

Awesome blade shape and very nice overall design. I really like the lock on these new knives; technically it's a liner lock, only it's really not a liner. The knife must be really light for its size.

 

[boatsman]

Very nice, will definitely look forward to getting one of these.:thumbup:

 

[Reeek]

This is the one out of all you posted - clean and quite beautiful.

Nothing to change.

Well done!

Cool, Thanks. Keep up the awesome work! Oh, and just IMO, I think a Kershaw folding Karambit would be sick...just a possible future prototype idea.
