SHOT Show 2019--New Knives

[folder geek]

If I hear one more specwar cosplay sales rep tell me about "operators" I'm gonna have to take my mokuti knuck out of its microfiber pouch.

That's fricken priceless. CM is laughing his ass off right now.
Respect

Steel will indicated that the ant lock is just "months" away, so there's that.

I think they've been saying that for two years.

Whoops, haha made the video private, it's public now.

I like that CRKT is doing a budget version of Ken Onion's Slacker, but WTH is 1.4116?

 

[marrenmiller]

You are correct, but they showed off a new model with it, it has a name now, and they're indicating it's out shortly. I think it's the real thing this time.

To be fair, 2 years is, technically, just months. Large numbers of them.

It's a steel commonly used by major culinary knife manufacturers. High corrosion resistance, moderate to low edge retention, but tough and easily sharpened.

New advertising campaign!

Regular Guy Knives: Medium Speed, Some Drag.

And don't forget, Regular Knife Guy: Been nearby, done some of it.

Being honest, since 2013-2014 only two new models released really caught my attention to the point of wanting to buy them. Coincidentally they were from Benchmade. Presidio II and Crooked River. However, from the Crooked River I have even lost the "enchatment".

On 2019, AGAIN, nothing get my attention on dedicated blades. Exception are the new Leatherman MT´s

I just asked them if they were making the F9 ant lock, which is the model they showed off 2 years ago, and they said no. My excitement is completely gone now.

In other words highly overpriced at the cost that CRKT is requiring for them...

 

[OilMan]

Don't think it's been mentioned yet but Strider also released a new Hissatsu grind SMF. Basically a Tanto but with a steeper grind. Weird thing is they were also released by a couple of Strider dealers at the same time (and just about immediately sold out). These will have the newer AL show side scale.. I didn't want to steal anyone's pictures but they should still be up on ME or BLG still. (Mine won't be here til Saturday..)

 

[Therom]

Based p. The videos I have watched so far only the PM3 LW has really caught my attention
I will wait for the “teased” future color/steels to pick one
A maxamet or zome version would be my pick

That's what CRKT always does, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. Seriously, they've had a number of designs over the years I'd have been happy to pick up if the steel was just one tier better. I'm not sure why they insist on using the stuff they do, but if they just took one step up in the steel department they'd suddenly be a much heavier hitter of a company.

Yup. I straight up want a Seismic, largely just to see what the Deadbolt Lock is all about, and even with AUS8 or similar I would likely order one, but I'm struggling to drop $85 on 1.4116.

 

[Monofletch]

I still haven’t bought one of these retractable clip Lionsteel from last year!!!

 

[goldie]

This year for knives is over before it started....

 

[Insipid Moniker]

Oh, man, just saw the Viper Key slipjoint and might have to rearrange some knife priorities. I really wish it had a pocket clip, but that is very, very pretty.
