New for 2019

[Mitchell Knives]

I hear rumors of a Trail Master in uncoated 1/4" thick CPM 3-V

That would be pretty cool.

New models are out.
Wow I haven’t been on bladeforums for a long time. Some interested models that I will wait to see what people say.
I spent a lot in 2018 but none on a cold Steel. Perhaps this year will be better.

Whoa!
Scorpion lock makes its debut.
FGX bali but where is the regular version?
Crawford Model 1 looks good and has a new steel.
Is the AD-10 replacing the SR-1?

 

[Insipid Moniker]

AD-10 and AD-15 this year? That's pretty exciting.

 

[AF]

Just noticed there’s a bunch of uncoated 3V.

I'm hoping for swords that balance better than sharpened crowbars.

If it looks like the plastic one ...nasty !

 

[AF]

Crawford uses 4034 steel which seems similar to 4116 which is like 420hc.
Not sure how 4034 differs.

AD-10 and AD-15 this year? That's pretty exciting.

These are absolute must-have's for me, even though I already own a custom 15.

AD-15 is on my wish-list , just to try the lock . More exciting than last year already !

Let me assure you, it's a great lock. Not quite as confidence-inducing as a Triad but very solid with the addition of easy, ambidextrous, one-handed closing. I am fully expecting CS to knock it out of the park.

 

[Dadpool]

The chance to own a production AD-15 is exciting!

I'm really taking a shine to the Wild West Bowie. Looks like a slightly updated Western W49. Also really dig the uncoated 3V SRK looks. Is it US made?

 

[F22shift]

Ad15 is gonna be the most sought after I think. I wonder how it affects the midtech’s resale value. I would buy for the fidget factor of the lock. But I’m curious how it holds up to abuse. I believe the ig account mention they will do test vids.
Ad10 is tempting as a more edcable 4 max.
I’m more down for a 3 max 5 max 6 max though.

 

[whp]

I'd like to see a fancied up American Lawman ala the 4 MAX.

An AL with uncoated cpm20 cv steel would be a sensation .

 

[mantzao]

I still can't make up my mind if i buy and AD-10 or 15. Either way it is pretty exciting.
Both seem to be a bit heavy though, right?

 

[AF]

I’m more interested in AD-10. I imagine AD-15 has a blade-heavy bias which I don’t like.
Also interested in the Crawford. Wonder if it’s on bearings like the Luzon.
CS should experiment more with steels on their older, flagship models like Recon and American Lawman.
Maybe a high-end stainless like 20cv. Uncoated of course.

Thinking the same, but I do have a 4-max already, so will probably start with the 15

 

[Sharp Knives 86]

I think I'm sold on the Wild West Bowie. CS has it listed for $127 retail on their site so it should be a fair bit cheaper on Amazon (around $80-$100 would be my guess) and I've been really wanting a nice classical looking big Bowie for awhile and this one really just speaks to me. Considering this is a large knife that includes a leather sheath, even the full retail price is quite fair imo. So CS when will these start to ship? I wanna give you my monies.

 

[insta9ves]

Looks like some fixed blade like the warcraft and srk got the stonewash treatment, im guessing they gonna announce stonewashed version of their other folders i.e. recon 1 and lawman as well
