I know what has been released, just was hoping for more releases this year as I'm not interested in any of those knives you listed.
Give it two more weeks, Bladeshow is near.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:

For me two main reasons why I pass on it: 1. Too Small for me 2. The Frag Pattern would need to be carried over to the lock side. The price is okay-ish. If they made a 0452 with that pattern on both sides, even at a few dollars more I'd get one.

Blade Show is a week from today. I’m fairly certain there will be some more new production models since we only got three in January during SHOT Show.

They do look SO nice, though. I'm always tempted.But yeah, a good blackwash or stonewash is definitely more suitable as an EDC finish than a crisp flat black DLC/PVD coating.

This conversation has been making me think that what I really need is a gent's knife with a polished black dlc blade.For good reason, to me, a shiny black coating is classy, I don't really think of tactical as the first thing, it's more comparable to a freshly waxed black car or a tuxedo. Sleek and classy. The more dull/matte black coatings/pvd are alright, but the shiny black is really nice. (My 0452CFETCPP lol, has nice shiny black DLC, the 0804CF and the Wayfarer are more matte black, the 0392BLK has sort of an inbetween)

I stopped by their booth at Blade and was disappointed to see that they had little new or noteworthy to show. They had a couple of new medium size knives, neither of which was available at the show, and a few older models. Not much of a showing from a highly respected company.
