[WE Knife Media]

See ya if you've got a plan there
Time: June 3rd -5th,2022

*Are you interested in this adjustable folding push dagger?

What does a "combination lock" look like?
We have made one for you.What do you think?

They look like april fools designs.

 

[KVT]

Yeah, stick to Ti frame locks. Make a CF scale Beacon. Make more options for the Beacon. Stuff like that, lol.

I wish you remade Press Check tanto. Full titanium and 85-90 mm blade with longer handle. ;P

Better looking clip would help too.

So is the combination lock like, a combination lock for opening your knife or a combination lock that is also a knife? I'm not sure either of those sounds like a good idea... Am I missing something here?

I'm reserving judgement on the folding push dagger until I see it in action. I'm really hoping this isn't more tacticool nonsense like that new "not really a fixed blade" from Civivi...

 

[Dergyll]

I'm sorry...what?? A combination lock a la outdated Fords?

Take a look at the benchmade Harley T-Rod, that might give you guys some inspiration.

There is a video of presentation of those knives, filmed at Blade show. Hard pass for me.

Noticed that there is no mention anymore of the vision. That's the only WE knife relevant for me since a long time.

Okay, those are both pretty wild. Here's the KnifeCenter video for the curious:

It's a liner lock knife with no pocket clip, and the combination locking device lets you lock it closed for pocket carry. As I type that, even I think I'm making that up...but it's in the video.

Well, that was something. I love how he talks about child safety with the lock, as if there isn't an unlocked drawer or block full of sharp knives in the kitchen. Also, who is going to buy this as their only pocket knife? I mean, don't get me wrong. This might be just the ticket for a few people... but it strikes me as super silly.

I won’t stifle innovation by mocking a companies attempts. These new models might cause some people to point and laugh, or call them silly.. but I can appreciate the attempts to push the boundaries and bring new ideas to the industry. So maybe I’m alone here in applauding the effort. At least they’re trying. How many others have stopped trying?

You're right. Like I said, there might be some people out there where this is just what they've been waiting to see. Maybe we'll hear from some of those people once these hit the market.

Where I have a problem is with goofy tacticool stuff sold as defensive tools. I know, we live in the age of the internet and people are free to research things for themselves. Personal responsibility is a thing. I just hate the idea of somebody not knowing better and buying something like the Orthrus as a primary defensive tool.

You don't want to tool up and join the Orthrusters! with me?

There is a thread on this one in GKD:

New Civivi/Real World Tactical - Orthrus - Adjustable Fixed Blade?

I really dislike the blade shape of this knife, but that’s besides the point lol. I absolutely love the idea behind this knife! I’m not sure how realistic this feature is to use and I do worry about strength. However, this knife’s adjustability is just too unique and cool to let pass by. If they...
