I'm sure many items will go under specific manufacturer forums but could we list news/new releases here to keep everything "under one roof" so-to-speak (?) I wish I was there!
 
Dave Canterbury just talked of the Morakniv Garberg full tang bushcraft knife. Would like to know how it compares to a Falkniven F1.
 
Kershaw released the Launch 5, which is the new addition to the launch auto series and it is an Emerson collaboration. Looks pretty neat!

Interesting. Did he carry it while he as serving as a Sniper Scout Ranger?

:p I kid
 
Kershaw released a ton of new knives, tools, and accessories.
Zero Tolerance released a few new knives.
Mora released their first ever full tang fixed blade.


IIRC, Tops Knives is showing some new knives as well.
 
The Launch 6 from Kershaw looks cool. They don't have accurate dimensions on the website, so I am waiting to see how big the handle is. With a 3.75" blade, it may be out of my usual size range, too bad.

I'm liking the Launch 5 and Launch 6 a lot. Honestly, and I know I'm in the minority for this, but the Launch lineup strikes me as the most exciting thing Kershaw has done in years.

I couldn't agree more and as far as value automatic knives go they have the market there is no real competition for them. I've had a Launch 1 for a few months and it's my favorite auto I'm loving the launch 5.

Heck, even taking the automatic bit out of the equation those knives are simply great values. My main issue with autos is you often have to pay twice as much for an auto as for a manual with the same features. That problem just isn't present with the Launch series as they're very competitive with comparable manual options.

Grinder looks neat. Wish it wasn't assisted.

I'll have to keep an eye on the Induction too, looks like it has an Axis-inspired lock maybe?

Hawk lock. Looking forward to that one as well. I could use an inexpensive beater in a compact package.

Never heard of the lock before now, just looked it up.

I'm relatively new to the hobby, my mistake :foot:

No problem! It's a neat lock that's a ton of fun to play with. G&G Hawk come up with a ton of really cool, innovative stuff.
 
The certainly have a lot of nice designs, but I would have loved to see more of them US made.
