Blade Show – Al Mar Knives

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

The genesis of the Al Mar Eagle Ultralight goes back to 1984, with the development of the lightest knife possible, with the greatest blade-to-handle ratio. Eventually users asked for something a bit more robust. Al Mar Knives created the Eagle HD in 2012 with heat-treated stainless liners and G10 scales. This year Al Mar chose to incorporate ZDP189, which is the hardest steel available, but keep the overall dimensions and ergonomics of the Eagle. The Eagle HD ZDP incorporates the same heat treated liners (despite assertions by some SSD readers, this is not as common as you would think). The blade itself offers a Rockwell of 64-65 after heat treatment. Al Mar’s ZDP189 is laminated with a softer outside steel and an inner core of the ZDP189 stronger steel, to yield an incredibly strong, yet durable blade.

Wilmont Knives was founded by US Army Special Operations Veteran, Chris Williams. He started out as a 1911 pistolsmith and moved to making knives. But, he wasn’t happy with available grinders so he put his mechanical engineering background to work to build a better mousetrap with Wilmont Grinders. Realizing he had some time on his hands between builds, Chris started building knives for on a larger scale.

The Ulu Hawk is a tool system that combines their Large Pocket Skinner knife with a purpose built handle. The handle itself is made from 6061 aircraft aluminum. There is an additional adapter that allows the Ulu Hawk handle to be attached to a stave and there are a few other accessories in the works.

Blade Show – Medford Knife & Tool

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

This is the Sawnto, developed for Navy SEAL Craig “Sawman” Sawyer. He will be carrying this knife on several of his TV projects. Medford also provided companion knives for Sawyer’s teammates.

This special model is S35VN with a primitive Vulcan finish but the production model will utilize D2. It’s a combo grind blade with a flat ground nose and hollow ground main edge. Additionally, Medford integrated a variety of tools into the G10 handle as well as the obligatory pommel crowbar as found on the BOA. To top it off, Greg Medford developed a very aggressive anti-personnel saw into the blade. For the production model, they are going to make the teeth a little more camp shore friendly.

Blade Show – Böker / American Kami

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

American Kami is collaborating with German manufacturer Böker to offer the Standard Colubris commercially.

The knife on the top is the Böker model and the lower one is the original from American Kami.

This is a great move that means that the Colubris design will always be available and at an affordable price. Granted, it’s a production knife, but much remains the same including the overall dimensions and design as well as the same G10 handles. They’ve moved to a 440C blade but its still designed for use with a Filipino Martial Arts grip.

Look for these to hit the market in about 4 weeks from www.boker.de/us

Here is the last finished model available in the batch that D.J. Brought to Blade Show. Most were gone the first day. Th Super Colubris offers the same ergonomics as the original Colubris but with a slightly longer blade. The 6″ blade is crafted from CPM S35VN and features a tumble over heat treat finish. This model offers a modified droptip but is also available with a Harpoon Recurve and Harpoon Tanto blade.

All Colubris models feature an interesting sheath that is intended to be worn IWB and tethered to the belt or attached via the grommets to your kit.
