Professional Soldier

Anyone know when this will be released? I don't know how updated the site is. All it reaaly says in time lines is they are waiting on the sheaths from blade tek.
I wonder if they would let me buy one without the sheath since I make all my own leather sheaths and holsters?

knifeart shows them as available now.

Knifeart indicates it is taking pre-orders.

I pre-ordered mine with CRK back after the SHOT show in Feb and was just wondering the other day when these would start coming out. I think it'll be a nice little knife.

According to their website, sheaths for the PS are "coming soon," but still in development.

Last I heard was the end of May.

Dennis Wright · Apr 30, 2008

Sheath design has been finalized and they're waiting for delivery so the knives can ship. Late May - early June, I expect.

SteveK · May 25, 2008

Any updates on when the PS will ship?

I talked with Dave at CRK and their first batch is going to our Armed Forces and I believe they just about took them all, so I'm not even sure there will be any available at Blade for purchase (hopefully at least one there to play with!).

Troy,

It was great to hear from you this last week, and really nice to meet you when you stopped by the shop this last winter.

Specifically on the PS knife, the first batch went to the members of professionalsoldiers.com, the website that is owned and operated by members of the US Army Special Forces. It was this organization that approached CRK with the knife project, provided the product requirements for the knife, as well as concept feedback throughout the design process.

I have not seen the inventory list of what all we're taking to Blade this next weekend (I've been busy on other projects), but everyone's been working very hard to fill that list, and we look forward to a great Blade Show.

Best regards,

Dave

Seen the first one on ebay this week and True North Knives have them in stock now.

The knife is very nice guys. I picked up two for myself. Added it to my Yarborough and Pacific knives. Definitely a lot smaller and easier to use then the latter two

Hi all; after a few years leave I decided to re-register at BF and, for the occasion, get me my first CRK. My Professional Soldier is at the post-office right now; tomorrow after 13:00 I can pick it up. Anticipation is killing me... It arrived so quickly that I have high hopes it skipped Dutch Customs. Saves me a lot. That's always a bit of a gamble with items from the USA - while I'm having the time of my life on eBay with the current $-rate...
