What is this?

I've hit a drought and haven't wanted any new designs for a lil while.

And then I saw this:

This is quite a beauty. What's the expected price range, and when does it come out?

Hungarian I believe. Supposed to be out this year. I'd guess just under $200.

Just saw a vid of it. This is on my list. I've been getting a bit tired of the Ti framelock phase anyways.

That is the new Military 2.

That blade shape and steel is a huge draw point for me. It also just has this really old school look.

Looks to me like it will be a good fit for the hand. I like it. I have always liked folding knives with bolsters.
