So, do they have any new knives designed by Todd Rexford?

Amplitude 3.25. It looks like they did more than just scale up the Amplitude 2.5. The pictures and description suggest the handle itself is contoured/rounded (vs. flat on the 2.5), the pivot hardware is different, changed the style of the clip (looks like it might be similar to the 0562), and the additional body screws suggests they did something different for a backspacer/standoffs as well.
 
I really like that CQC-4KXL. The only thing stopping me from getting a Kershaw-Emerson collabo in the past was none were as big as I like in a "Tactical" folder, but this one, perfect size, definitely on my radar now. I really like the new Shuffles too, I fell in love with the Shuffle when my buddy picked me up one for Christmas, I may have to pick up the Lime/Blackwash and both of the Shuffle II's, those Shuffle II's look like beefy little folders, I can't wait to get my hands on one. The Link looks good with those Aluminum slab handles, I may also be looking into picking one of those up, I like budget USA made folders, and I'm pleased to see Kershaw come out with another.

This is correct. I expected everyone to be talking about the Amplitude 3.25 by now. It's a hidden gem. Slightly thicker than a Leek, but at half the price it's an insane value.

Good to know! I looked on their web site, and while the info says the clip is reversible for lefty carry, the picture sure doesn't show the holes needed for it.

The screws might be on the end of the handle (not unlike, say, a Buck Vantage).
 
I've been very happy w/my Kershaws and since I can't afford an Eklipse, that "Shield" is definitely on my list to try.

Looks like a nice budget carry.
 
I like the kershaw shield. Like how it has the hinderer eklipse design but with a 3" blade. The only thing i hate is that dang Speed safe assisted opening. I wish they made their knives without the spring assist.
 
I'm patiently awaiting the release of the Link 1776grybw and Shuffle 2 8750blk.
 
The new Link BW with aluminum scales available at Kershawguy, better looking than the first Link in my opinion.
