What type of lock and what did the knife look like overall ???
 
approx the same size as a sebenza

but you have to pull up on the locking mechanism...where the handle & blade meet


had to ask chris how to close it
 
Interesting... I'd like to know more about this new mystery folder as the info develops.
 
I think there's something about this on the knifecenter blog

Stay tuned.
D SOG says their Pendulum model that features a bolster that flips around to work as the blade lock will ship in August as will the Toothlock folder
Chris Reeve Grant and Gavin Hawk. Retail will be just under $500 with a unique lock on top of tHe handle. The oTher is a folder collaboration with Bill Harsey which is made in Italy. Only 440 made the Razonal half gray and half black handles retail at under $200. All are inspected by Chris Reeve who is very meticulous about quality.

i saw that folder on the bottom shelf but didn't pay much attention to it nice it was branded with another name. Didn't appear to me to be a CRK. Very nice looking though.
What looked to be new to me was their kitchen knives. Very cool. i am going to try one since I am in the restaurant business.

Interesting. I have an old Rigid knife that sounds similar (as far as lock type) and I have always loved the lock design. I wonder if they are similar at all.

Would you describe this locking mechanism on the CRK as similar to a mid lock except you lift on the lock near the pivot instead of push the other end of the lever/lock bar?
 
Neil (TNK) tweeted a little over thirty minutes ago that this new CRK knife, the Ti-Lock folder, won the overall knife of the year award at Blade, which is going on right now. :thumbup:

Hopefully he can chime in with more details, along with photos.
 
Chris is hot again! :)

The Umnumzaan last time around, the Sikayo(s), Nyala, and Insingo, he's on top of his game. I'm interested in the collaborations, too.
