I am excited to see the new knife offerings at Shot Show 2018, especially from ZT. I wanted to make a thread devoted to new stuff introduced in the next few days. Please post pics, especially if you are there to see firsthand!
 
What I've seen from companies so far has been less than impressive. Last year was pretty tepid compared to years prior and this year looks to be even more so. But maybe I'm just jaded. :D
 
I know what you mean. I am holding out hope for something cool.
 
Really hope I’m not disappointed with the ZT offerings this year.
 
Shot Show opens in 1 minute as per the official site. Wonder if there will be any Case / Bose special knife announcements this year?

I would love a smaller Tribal Lock. A mini like they did with their Copperlock.

Really hoping for some great offerings from ZT and maybe Kershaw, although the Kershaw end of KAI has been a little tepid these last few years.

I'd be all over a smaller Tribal Lock. I'd collect every variation they put out.
 
The only 'must buy' at this point is the Kizer Zipslip. There are some others that I'm interested in, but it really is the only definite 'Yes!' on my list so far.

The Zipslip caught my eye as well. Elijah Isham's "Theta" is my definite "Yes!" from their new releases, just waiting on the price. Micro flipper tab, third finger flick, and thumb opening all look GTG.
 
ZT0462 in 20cv can get my interest but I was expecting more than 3 knives....
some more Emerson or Les Georges would have been welcomed :(

I suspect they will be revealing some each day of Shot Show, or at least slowly releasing some throughout the year. Hopefully..
 
Was trying to get a pass to the show and go just for today, but my connection never connected. :(
Hope all those attending have a great time!
 
Really disapointed with what I've seen up until now. Spydercos intersting models this year are mostly re-releases and overall they get way too pricey. Benchmade seems to be on an upward path imo. The ZTs are utter bullshit. Let's hope there's still stuff I haven't seen(or that weren't shown) that will be great.

I agree entirely. Seems like Spyderco and ZT are doing everything they can to push Benchmade to the top of the pack. If this keeps up for another year, well, wow. We might be looking a production knife market where Benchmade is the definitive leader. Kinda mind blowing.
