VERY GOOD Question. Spark, where are the pictures of the new knives? Christina has posted that there are several new REKATs being released at the SHOT show. She also said you are going to be there with a camera!
So where are the pictures? Descriptions? Rumors? Somebody let us know what is happening.

A Pat on the Back is only a few inches from a Kick in the Butt.

Sparks,

Waiting in anticipation for something that tops your pink tutu picture.

BTW, what should I be putting on my list to buy this year?

This is something that I posted about earlier, and I must agree. We should be getting updates from someone during the show.
I work in the electonics(audio, video)industry, and the Consumer Electonics Show in Vegas just ended. There was a site that post pictures and info each night of the show, It would be nice to see that done here.
I know that this would be a lot of work, but it should be done.

Check out the Microtech forum over at Knifeforums, Karl of S.O.F. knives has been giving a play by play, but there were no pics as of yesterday.

I really feel the loss of JKM this week.

I was there. I will be posting a few MT pictures on Monday.

As for new and exciting stuff there were a few things that caught my eye. I didn't stop by all the knife booths only because I don't carry every brand, but here are a few highlights.

Kershaw has a few new Onions on the way. They have a Chive and a Scalion or something like that. They are small versions of the assisted opening knifes. The smaller of the two has SS handles and the little bit larger version has G-10 handles. They are also coming out with a new fixed blade Onion.

Leatherman has come out with a new line of smaller multi tools. I like the looks of them but am still up in the air about the colors. I think that the ladies will like them more than the fellas but maybe that is what they were hoping for. They have also updated their Mega Tool to a more rounded edge design and made it easier to close the accessories, much nicer.

Karl has pretty much covered Microtech so I won't go into detail unless someone wants me to.

Chris Reeve is coming out with a new small folder that will be very well recieved.

MOD's small CQD will be a big hit and available in about 3 weeks. they have also come out with a new large fixed blade that I think everone will like. It has two long curved hooks on the handle for grabing your opponent under the armpit to get him to submit. Ouchy mama.

William Henry in developing a new larger knife that has a lock that is simillar to the axis only different. It is hard to explain you will just have to see it when it comes out.

Ti-Knives has a new D/A coming out that is very nice. He also has a new pattern on his smaller version knife which is cool.

UZI guns is coming out with a line of knives. Folders and a few fixed blades.

Spyderco has a lot of new stuff coming out. almost too much to mention and I really don't remember anything real specific.

CRKT has the knives coming out that we all know about already. Nothing to major from them.

That is about it.
