SHOT Show Videos/News

I love the Auto ATCF, but the MAP on it is enough to make me balk. ProTech makes great knives, and they're usually an incredible value, but $480 for the basic model seems a bit much. I'm pretty excited for the textured Malibu with Magnacut, and it's great to see that they'll keep making the Mordax without massdrop's brand on it.

Has anyone seen anything new from ZT?

I'm also looking for a clearer pic or video of Spartan's 2022 SHF designs. I've seen one blurry video of them, it's enough to get the idea, but not enough to see the fine details they usually have.

I haven't seen anything from ZT, but I feel like KAI sometimes holds the ZT stuff for Blade? I may be misremembering, but I thought they had done that in the past once or twice.
 
So far the only must have for me will be the Manix 2 LW (now with screwed construction) in Magnacut. Eric hinted that it will be a Salt Manix from the sound of it. Of course I love that Protech ATCF as well. The little Benchmade Immunity Auto has also caught my eye, and I even dig the "partial" with the even smaller blade, but the Cerakote and pricing might be enough to put me off. I'm sure there's a pretty good chance I'll pick up one of the Case vault patterns once I see all the cover (and CV ;)) offerings. Nothing too exciting, but it takes alot more these days to get me excited enough about a new knife to run out and buy it. Hopefully there's still a show stopper forthcoming.

I'm largely with you, though I like the Taggedout and Shootout a lot. I do think I'm gonna grit my teeth and drop all the knife money I have squirreled away on the Protech ATCF, though. Everything else I can probably pick up at my leisure, but I'm gonna kick myself for years if I miss out on that Terzuola.

According to another forum, there could potentially be some ZT news at the end of Q2. Their policy is to only announce what's available to ship immediately or within ~30-45 days.

14c28 has been one of my favorites for quite some time, so it's very cool to see them start using it.

Yes, I like Condor because they've got some unique designs without needing to use "super" Steels at prices that are pretty affordable. Like Joe said in the video, they're trying out new things so we'll see what the future holds.
 
I'm excited to hear about the Manix LW moving away from rivets, long overdue IMO. I really like the Stretch XL, sharp lines on it.

Condor seems to be doing really well, I've been fairly impressed with them lately, but have yet to pull the trigger on one. Maybe that'll change soon.

I'm also becoming a bit more interested in what Hogue is doing.
 
Anyone see anything new from White River Knives? Any chance they have anything with Magnacut?

Not sure who this video maker is, but he has this up on the new White River stuff. Not quite the direction I would have expected from them.

 
Man... I assume it's due to covid restrictions, but it's become apparent that some of the YouTubers are able to get much better views of the knives than the big retailers, whose videos seem to be fraught with long zooms and poor autofocus this year.

I noticed that, too. Production quality is WAY down from previous years. I assume some kind of distancing guidelines.
 
So we have Magnacut coming in a protech model, two Spyderco’s, and the deka. Was there anything else in Magnacut that I missed?
