Triton?

[Tom Marshman]

I was just at a wholesaler site and saw a new (to me) name, what am I missing?

All purpose blade, machined aluminum handles. Nice looking knife. It's in the new production catalogue.

Thanks! Anyone have an image on the Web that you know of?

Thanks, John.

Once I saw your pic, I remembered you posting it a while ago. I just didn't hook the two together. Besides the malfunctioning brain, I guess what threw me was this particular distributor only sells CA legal autos. Is there going to be a manual or Waved version?

 

[John Hollister]

There is a manual Triton planned. Derek also had a Proto of it at the show. Basically it is exactly the same knife, except it has a thumb dish for opening. It retains the plunger as the lock.

I had an opportunity to handle a manual triton at yesterday's blade west show. It is really a nice piece that has a hand filling grip. In speaking with Shaun about the remote possibility of them producint a auto version of this knife he said they are still thinking about it but with all the California restrictions it seems very unlikely. If they can't produce a auto then I wouldn't mind seeing one with the wave feature!
