Found at the Outdoor Edge booth (pictures to follow when I come up for air long enough to pick some where the lighting is least bad, and touch-up and crop and upload them):
A prototype Kouji Hara collaboration! He's the guy in Japan who does beautiful gentlepersons' knives with "rice-terrace" contoured stainless handles, among other things. Liner lock, contoured stainless handle, c. 3" shiny blade.
A half-finished prototype of a smaller Ralph Impulse, and a plastic model of a teeny tiny frame-lock "Pocket Pulse."
A plastic model of a smaller version of the Carson Magna, again a frame lock.
And hope for that Appleton Cosmos, sooner or later. Remember that the factory that was going to make it got flattened in the earthquake last year.
Good stuff from an emerging industrial democracy.
