Thanks for posting the images HH.

Kershaw is very excited in bringing on Lee Williams, and his NRG folders. Lee is one of the hottest custom makers on the market today, and I believe you will all be very impresssed with these two blades. The NRG's incorporate the latest in flipper opening technology, as Lee's patented "pseunetic" action allows for simple one hand opening, and takes "flippin" to a whole new level.

You can see from the pics that the flipper is not seen when the knife is in its open position. Normally the flipper is part of the blade, but the NRG's are quite different. I will try to get some images together over the next week to show off the feature.

Charcoal G-10 scales with "soft" Tec-Tac inserts, a 13C26 blade all wrapped up with Lee's sweet pattern make for a sweet made in the USA package.
MSRP $79.95 and $99.95.

Coming March of 07.
 
I wish Kershaw would let me have ONE MONTH OFF! I will be buying new knives every month until April at least!
 
Man, those NRG's look *Expletive* sweet!

I really like the new flipper design, and I think that it's a huge step in the right direction. The look and sleekness is amazing.

I want one...

I want one to have my babies...
 
You guys at Kershaw are really cooking with the collaborations. RJ, Tim and Lee are three big names to have in the stable. I like the looks of the Lahar.
 
Those look nice, I really like the top one. Good to see they are comin in VG-10.

The Lahar Flipper is my fav.
 
I really like the Lee Williams NRG, and am curious about the flipper mechanism. Looking forward to it.

I'm holding ya'll to your last sentence! :)

Thomas, I just read this thread and I am very interested in the "pseunetic" feature. Is it anything at all like Leatherman's "Blade Launcher" assisted opening mechanism? http://www.leatherman.com/products/knives/e300-e301/default.asp

The more I read about Lee Williams and the NRG, the more I look forward to it! I didn't realize it was G-10!!! I thought it was grey polymide like the Speed Bump. And the trac-tec is a great touch. :thumbup:
 
Good to see ya keepin things hot at Kershaw Thomas .thanks for the info, hopefully I will be able to pick one up to add to my Kershaw Kollection!
 
I'll definitely be buying a Lahar shortly after they come out.

Pretty exciting. :thumbup:

Looking good Kershaw!
 
I'll try to keep this thread bumped and updated with current info on these sweet knives.

Thomas, any new drool-worthy info?
 
You guys are on top of your game up there in Oregon. Both those are handsome folders. I am curious to see these details on the Williams folder.

After seeing the video and reading the writeup over at Equipped to Survive, I have my eyes firmly fixed toward that smaller model NRG.
nygiantsfan- yep, the launcher is similar to the blade launcher (as in, it's a seperate part that contacts the blade and disappears into the handle when open) but in this case, the user has to overcome the resistance from a super-flexible wire that ensures the blade will always have enough momentum to lock up once the resistance is overcome. According to Doug Ritter, it works way better than the blade launcher (which IMHO already works pretty darn well).
Normally I wait and pick up "hot" knives months or years after their debut, but with this one, for some reason I really want one as soon as it's available. Hey Thomas W- feel free to send me a prototype to review ;).
