Interesting, less known knives

[jac_solar]

I was wondering, if you happen to come across an interesting folder, or fixed blade, that you hadn't heard of before (And that isn't often talked about on these forums.), could you post that here?

Here is one I recently came across:

Tacops Falcon, a design by Chris Reeve and Bill Harsey. Here's a review on Bladeforums:

Some pictures from the review:

The 1990s were a hot time for new and interesting knife designs, and an era when many new knife companies entered the market or first became popular. Yet it seems these knives doesn't get much attention on the forums - too modern to be Traditional, and yet a generation too early to warrant consideration among the "EDC" crowd.

I rarely see any of these posted:

Case Tri-Fold

Marbles Safety Folder:

Timberline TimberLite:

Aristrocrat Magestic:

George Herron - Paragon collaborations:

Those Paragons are beauties

I actually bought one of these Falcons on E-Bay a few months ago in the clip-point form.In ways I liked it but also had mixed feelings about it.The handle shape was pretty decent-not some crazy ergo shape like some Spyderco...just fit right and pleasant to hold.The liner lock I found difficult to access because the machined slot was rather small...good lock up though.Took a while to get used to the reversed side of serrations along with the reverse stamping locations.The blade I'd rate as fairly sharp but the edge angle was right.Sandvik's I find are weak steels at a very fine edge and this grind gave it strength to be a useable steel.Smallest glass breaker I've ever seen and will be easy to break.The Falcon wasn't a bad knife it just wasn't worth $85.00...more like $40-$45.

Bob W: I actually HAVE a knife that looks very much like that Case Tri-fold, it's stainless with a micarta inlay, made by Fred Perrin. Interesting little knife.

the oddest knife I've ever seen has to be the Navaja looking piece in my collection. It has a horn handle, and is unlocked by pulling on a ring attached to a metal plate on the back of the handle. Very Ornate, very strange. Looks a lot like a Cold Steel Kudu, but much, much nicer. I have no idea what to call it beyond a "Ring Knife".
