Added pics and specs to the Kershaw Piston 1860 –

Unique cuts on the handle and blade give the new Piston a great look. For easy opening, it features SpeedSafe® assisted opening and a convenient flipper. While the Piston is a larger knife, its G-10 handles make it light enough for everyday carry. An Inset Liner Lock secures the blade when open. The Piston offers our quad-carry options and even has a lanyard attachment. Don’t see a hole in the handle? Exactly. There’s a hidden lanyard loop in the interior of the handle so nothing interrupts the Piston’s cool good looks. Made in the USA.

Spyderco B02GPFG Smallfly Foliage Green

Spyderco B02GPFG Small Fly

We’ve received a dozen of the new Spyderco B02GPFG Smallfly with Foliage Green handles

The SmallFly integrates traditional butterfly knife elements with innovative Spyderco features, effectively Spyderizing a butterfly knife. The G-10 handles are elongated, modifying the Fly’s center of balance over traditional butterfly knives. This added handle length generates more momentum and equilibrium when swinging and manipulating. Wire pocket clip and spring-loaded locking latch attach to either handle for left/right carry. 154CM stainless blade is centerline ground equally dispersing blade weight for complimentary balance and symmetry.

SOG SE-61 Spec Elite II Autos are here!

SOG SE-61 Spec Elite II Auto
SOG SE-61 Spec Elite II Auto

SOG has added a larger “working” auto to their lineup with the Spec-Elite II model SE-61

“Just good enough” and “too fast” are not words in our vocabulary. Continuing to produce top line products for professionals is what we are fluent in. The new Spec Elite series is a tough contender when the sheet hits the fan. Manufactured from 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum these knives employ our state-of-the-art auto mechanism to ensure they open with conviction. New technology springs insure tens of thousands of reliable openings. Built-in safeties, reversible low carry clips and stout construction make them ideal for LE and military.

This is a larger knife than the ever-popular SOG-TAC series – it has a 4″ blade and measures 8.9″ overall.  That said, the price is phenomenal at $119.99, so it is destined to be a hit with cost-conscious shoppers.

United Cutlery M48 Kommando Tactical Tomahawk

United Cutlery M48 Tactical Tomahawk
United Cutlery M48 Tactical Tomahawk

We’ve received a few of the United Cutlery M48 Tactical Tomahawks in, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed.  For a sub-$100 tomahawk, this is a pretty great item.

THE TOMAHAWK FOR ULTIMATE CLOSE COMBAT – This M48 Hawk is the ultimate tactical weapon. Whether you’re breaching doors in Iraq or evacuating civilians in the National Guard, this 15″ hawk is indispensible. The double-edged spike tip pierces through even thick metals while the axe blade makes easy work of wooden doors or saplings while camping. It even throws well as a tomahawk because the rugged Kraton handle is nearly indestructable. The blade is attached to the handle with three separate bolts. Includes snap closure nylon belt sheath.

Benchmade New Products for 2011

We’ve just received our new catalogs from Benchmade for 2011, and they have 20+ new products this year, though many are variants of existing product SKUs.  Quick rundown:

New Products:

  • 470 Emissary by Osborne (S30V blade with Aluminum Handles, Axis Lock)
  • 53 Mangus Balisong – released late this year, this model has a D2 blade with Green G10 handles.
  • With the acquisition of Lone Wolf Knives in late 2009, Benchmade is bringing out a new product series featuring the Paul Lock.  The first entries are the 250, 235, 240, 245, and 230.
  • 915 Triage is a new rescue series knife that is reminiscent of the Stryker Series, but features a sheepsfoot blade and the Axis lock

Variants of existing products:

  • There’s a new Tanto variant of the Barrage, the 583 series, as well as an aluminum bolster variant with the standard Blade, model 581
  • The Shoki (480) now has a brother, the 480-1 which features Carbon Fiber scales
  • The 740 Onslaught has a little brother, the 746 Mini-Onslaught
  • The Auto Bedlam 8600 now is available in manual action as the 860 Bedlam
  • The Rant fixed blade line adds two new models: the 512 Clip Point, and the 517 Tanto models
  • Nimravus Cubs are now available with tanto blades as the 148 Tanto Nimravus Cub
  • There are a couple new rescue hook variants:
    • The 8BLKH which has a T handle for extra leverage (this may be intended as an offering for military personnel performing airborne operations or loadmaster duties)
    • The 15BLKWSN which combines the features of the 7 and 8 rescue hooks.
  • The Bone Collector Series models all are now available with Walnut Handle Scales (marked with -2 in the SKU):
    • 15010-2 Bone Collector Fixed Blade with Gut Hook
    • 15005-2 Bone CollectorFixed Blade
    • 15000-2 Bone Collector Skinner
    • 15030-2 Bone Collector Folder
    • 15020-2 Mini Bone Collector

So, to sum up: lots of new products in the Blue and Black Class, lots of variants of popular existing models.  No new automatics just yet, at least visible in the paper catalog.  I’ll update with word on what’s discontinued for 2010 as soon as I know.

EDIT: Word from Benchmade is that the Catalogs were sent out a bit early. Whoops!  We can’t place orders on any of this stuff until SHOT, but we’ll start taking pre-orders on the products as soon as I can get them added to the site.

EDIT 2: Looks like I was wrong about a lack of new autos!  Benchmade also will be introducing the 3800 NTK automatic featuring a D2 Blade and Kraton Handles.  In addition, Benchmade is phasing out the 9100 Auto Stryker and replacing it with the product improved 9101 Auto Stryker with a strong lock & open backspace design handle; this is the same thing they did in 2010 with the 9051 AFO II series.  Good job Benchmade!

Last run of Benchmade 42 Balisongs – In stock!

Benchmade 42 Balisong

We’ve gotten 10 pieces of the Benchmade 42 Balisong back into stock.  As most of you know, Benchmade has discontinued these and will no longer be making this model in the future.  Apparently they decided to put together all the spare parts they had on hand… and thus the new supply.

Anyhow, here’s your last chance to get the most popular Balisong ever made.  First come, first served, no limits on purchasing – until we’re sold out.  Don’t wait, because they may not be here tomorrow.

Pictures added to Light My Fire Sporks

Light My Fire Spork
Light My Fire Spork

Pictures & such have been added to the Light My Fire Spork products, including:

The Light My Fire Sporks are handy, lightweight eating tools that don’t meet the “traditional” spork definition – normally when someone says “spork” you think of the spoon / fork combo that has a tines on the spoon bowl. Not so with the Light My Fire Sporks – they are double ended with Spoon bowl and Fork Tines on opposite ends, and incorporate a knife blade onto the fork side.  Pretty clever!

Light My Fire Spork - 4 Pack
Light My Fire Spork - 4 Pack

We’re carrying the “combat” colors right now for individual purchase, and may expand that into the full line depending on demand.  We also have 4 packs available in traditional camping colors: blue, red, yellow and light green

Want the Ultimate Spork? Check out the Titanium version – the Light My Fire Spork in Titanium! All the same features as the traditional Light My Fire Spork, but made out of nearly indestructible, super lightweight Titanium.
