Great Recent Brands

[22-rimfire]

Steel Will as mentioned is the "new" brand that I own and like. Do not own a WE knife, but I feel comfortable saying that I suspect I would like them. First looked at them in 2016 at the Blade Show.

Steel Will. Awesome knives for the money.

Three Rivers Manufacturing has put out some great new releases this year. The Neutron is a well-made thin, slicy liner lock with swappable scales.

Are these not available right now? Anything with atoms on it catches my interest.

Stedemon, while not a particularly new player, has really broadened their catalog with some solid knives as of late - and their budget lines (Vouking and ZON) are just very good. I recently picked up a Stedemon C06 for about $50, and it has all the mechanical hallmarks of a much more expensive knife.

I have several Stedemon Voukings and I love them. I also love tiny knives and have 4 T03s. I bought one awhile ago and liked it. Then I saw them on sale for $50 (m390 for $50!!!) and bought 3 more! I also have two T01 that I bought for less than $100. I also bought the

Stedemon Knife Co. ZKC A01A. For $99 on BladeHQ it's a terrific deal.

That being said, my love for tiny knives has made me buy many Bestechs. They dominate the well priced, good material, under 2.5" blade world. I have a lot of Bestechs and have not had a problem with any.

Based on the quality of the Laconico Keen I'd consider buying another WE knife for sure.

...agreed. I ordered one last nite.

My favourite “new” brands are Steel Will and Manly by far. WE as well.

I've owned both the Cutjack and the Modus. I MUCH prefer the design of the Modus.

Berg Blades Iron Wolf in green micarta is a great knife. Made by WE and it is big!

 

[Angus McGunnigle]

Bestech kendo I have had for about a year now and. It is a great knife.

 

[Fire Beard]

Manly. Three Rivers. Bestech. Real Steel.

 

[Blacplastik]

Ruike knifes have great quality.

No, they seem to do small batch manufacturing and roll out different models at different times. I'm sort of scraping funds together for the next Neutron release, partly because I dig that design, too. Now I just need to decide on scale material. That translucent amber ale G11 looks mighty fine, but will the lighting bolts and atom show up on it? Decisions, decisions.

I think the Atom, their new liner lock with 3.5-inch blade, just became available to order on their website. It’s like a larger Neutron with a deep carry clip. They also have two slipjoint models available.
