With a 2.35” blade and a 3” handle, the WESN Henry is a modern take on the classic slip-joint pocket knife. With Titanium scales and Cherrywood inlays, the Henry is a lightweight, yet perfectly balanced knife for any task at hand. Utilizing Swedish steel, we are paying tribute to the inspiration behind both our design and overall quality of the Henry. Our blade steel of choice: Sandvik 14C28N has passed the test of time, and proven to be one of Swedens top grade knife steels. With over 150 years of experience, Sandvik has mastered the processes of manufacturing knife steel that we can trust.

Inspired by a traditional slip-joint design from the late 1800s found in northern Sweden, the Henry carries characteristics that have been used for over 150 years. We are honored to name the knife after one of the most inspirational men both personally in my life and many others. A man that has inspired the need for an everyday pocket knife that solves both functional needs yet displays the beauty of pure craftsmanship.

The Henry is a knife to be passed down from generation to generation, as a token to remember the years behind its use and the craftsmanship that will carry on to represent the integrity behind a well-designed product.

Lynnwood, WA – With 2020 underway, Studies and Observations Group releases two new products: Kiku XR folding knife and ParaShears multi-tool.

For outdoor users, Kiku XR is a rugged folding knife with a powerful styling that harkens to its Japanese DNA, for situations that require a quick-opening, super sharp knife. Made in collaboration with famed Japanese knifemaker Kiku Matsuda, it makes a subtle statement of strength wherever it’s carried. The high-utility blade cuts under virtually every condition, and the linen Micarta handle provides for a sure, secure grip. The ultra-strong XR locking mechanism, able to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, self-adjusts over the lifespan of the knife and the CTS-XHP steel blade offers a high degree of corrosion resistance as well as excellent edge retention.

Kiku XR retails for $189.95 and is available now from Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy, Blade HQ, and will be available soon from Bass Pro. Kiku XR has also been picked up for international distribution into China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea and the UK.

For professional users, ParaShears is a focused multi-tool designed for first responders and emergency personnel who require a reliable tool under the most demanding of rescue conditions. ParaShears come complete with a mission-specific toolset that was requested by first responders, featuring 12 components, including robust shears, strap cutter, glass breaker, oxygen wrench and tweezers. Leveraging SOG’s proprietary Compound Leverage technology, ParaShears is able to cut through material easier and quicker than equivalent shears.

Measuring at 6.3 inches, and weighing in at 4.8 ounces, ParaShears is light and compact enough to wear on your daily kit in their nylon sheath. Made from autoclave compatible materials, there are two color options: black oxide with black handles, or polished stainless with red handles.

ParaShears retails for $74.95 and is available now from Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy, West Marine and Blade HQ, and will be available soon from Bass Pro and Dick’s Sporting Goods. ParaShears has also been picked up for international distribution into China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea and the UK.

Corte Madera, California, February 19, 2020 – Since its debut in 2018, the GiantMouse ACE Biblio has been extremely well received by knife enthusiasts worldwide. Given the tremendous success of the Biblio in canvas micarta, G10, and stonewashed titanium, GiantMouse is now pleased to offer this great little cutter in titanium anodized a beautiful blue.

The Biblio is an all-around EDC folder that looks good and performs even better, in the woods or in the city. A knife for both “Dives and Dance Halls” so to speak. The flat titanium scales on this model provide for a slimmer profile, allowing the knife to ride almost unnoticed in the pocket.

When using the Biblio you’ll realize how well it performs. Again, the ergonomics are spot on, and the nicely thin ground blade makes this a real slicer. By choosing the flat saber grind on this knife, they got a strong blade with a fine cutting edge that you’ll enjoy using. The use of Böhler M390 for blade steel makes the Biblio an exceptional cutting tool that will serve you well for years to come.
