The New Model 18 Flipper from CRKT

[Kit Carson]

Should be out in a week or so.

 

[Jason Burns]

Any word on final choice of steel and color options (At Blade Show time they did not know if they were going to ship with all three color inserts.) and pricing from CRKT?? These were VERY cool at blade show . . . I am sure the final handle "texture" is even better.

 

[Kit Carson]

Jason,
Steel is AUS8A and it will be available with red and blue inserts.

Hey Kit,
Is that the LAWKS system I see on the spine?

 

[Kit Carson]

Yep, it is

 

[Bugs3x]

Looks great! But, can I hope that there will be plain edges, not combo only? Also, do we have an MSRP or at least a good guestimate?

I think my M16-14 may have to move over a notch in my affections. Much as I love it, am still just not sold on tantos. This spearpoint/droppoint looks really good.

Thanks Kit,

Ooooh, that's nice. I like the recurve. Suggested price?

 

[Kit Carson]

Bugs,
It comes in plain and serrated. Large and small, comparible in size to the M16s. Price is around $100.

 

[Bugs3x]

That's great to hear, Kit. THanks for the quick response!

That's also a price point I like.

When will our favorite dealer have these in stock, Kit?

Thanks

 

[rogue_spear]

What other variations are there for this folder? Is there a plain edge? Is there a tanto version?

 

[Dexter Ewing]

Greg - CRKT is expecting a shipment of these to roll in in about a week to two weeks. After that they will begin distribution.

It looks like a great knife. I specially like (compared to the M16) the more ergonomic shape of the “Flipper” and the dezent “LAWKS” lever. I hope it will be available with black inserts.

Horus - you have a choice of red, blue....and black inserts

Nice looking knife. I have liked it for a some time now and I own a custom from Kit. I like the larger knife idea.

WOW!! I like the looks of this one a LOT!
I guess it'll be off to my dealer in a week or two to pick one of these bad boyz up.

Kit, You were missed at the Guild Show buddy.

 

[rogue_spear]

Anyone have pics of the ones with the black or red inserts?
