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

Over the past few months I’ve been showing you sneak peeks of the Colubris family. Named after the Humminbird, it is a well balanced general purpose combat knife.

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.

5th Emerson Virtual Knife Show and Auction

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

On Saturday, June 8th, 2013 at 12PM Pacific, Emerson Knives will broadcast live, their 5th Virtual Knife Show and Auction.

Here, Ernest Emerson holds the CQC-6 Chris Kyle commemorative knife. Proceeds will go to his widow and family.

Below you can see the engraving on the blade. It’s one hell of a knife dedicated to a guy who’s EDC was Emerson. In fact, Chris and Ernie were in the early stages of a signature knife when he was tragically killed.

There are several other custom models up for auction but this one in particular caught my eye.

The handle on the Patriot was crafted from a piece of oak wood collected from George Washington’s farm. The hunk of stump is dated 240 years old and was alive during the period that Washington was not only alive, but also fought for this great nation and served as its first President. Talk about owning a piece of history! The winner of this knife will have something to talk about and spur research for years to come.

In order to participate in the Virtual Knife Show and Auction you must be a member of the Emerson Collectors Association. Look for details at emersonknives.com.

Strider Knives has just announced that they are adopting the Bawidamann PALS Universal Platform as a mounting option for their sheath knives.

Bawidamann recently introduced a new injection molded version of the PUP that is no longer riveted but rather allows the user more flexibility in configuring their equipment including MOLLE and belt mounts.

According to Strider’s Josh Lee, while it will still be offered as an option, they are transitioning from the Blade-tech Tech-lok to the PUP for two reasons. First, versatility. The PUP offers a lot of options. Second, Made in USA! America, Fuck Yeah! Nuff Said.
