New Knives

KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Knife combo edge Coyote Brown

The TDI Law Enforcement Knives are designed for Low-Profile or concealed carry. Designed by John Benner, owner of Tactical Defense Institute, as an "off-hand" knife that draws like a pistol, it can be used very efficiently as a "last-option" defense.

Ka-Bar® Anniversary Knives

Ka-Bar® has a long history with the U.S. Armed Forces. The "Ka-Bar knife" or the USMC, was the standard issue knife for our military for most of the 20th century. Through the years, it was made by other companies as well, but was still known as the "Ka-Bar".

Leatherman Selway

When you first take your knife out of the box, it may take you a minute to find and deploy the Gut Hook. It is at the butt of the knife and slides out of the handle with a push on the thumbgrooved bar that is in the position you would normally find the back spring.

Wrangler® Coffin Handled Bowie

The Wrangler® brand has been known for generations for good solid clothing produced for the western working man. Wrangler® Jeans were first made in the 1940s and were designed specifically for rodeo use. In 2007, a new U. S. company was formed with the idea of producing Wrangler® branded knives. This is a small company and there have only been a few models in the line.

Outdoor Edge® Folding Skinners

Outdoor Edge® has a substantial reputation for creating highly functional, hard working knives and butchering tools for the serious hunter. You will typically find a small selection of their knives in our catalog in the fall just in time for hunting season. At the 2008 S.H.O.T. Show, we selected their three folding skinners with African Bubinga wood handles.

SOG® Vulcan-Mini

The Vulcan-Mini is a handy smaller version of the SOG® Vulcan which was introduced in 2007. The name was inspired by the General Electric M61A1 Vulcan, a six-barrel 20mm Gatling-type cannon that is an integral part of the armament of such modern-day fighters as the F-15, F-18, and the F-16.

Ka-Bar® Dozier Folding Hunter

Since 2002, Ka-Bar® Knives has offered a line of custom-designed Dozier lockback folders. These knives are designed for hard work, and are perfect for everyday use. Last year, they introduced a larger version of the Dozier Folding Hunter and for 2008 they have added an oval hole in the blade for easy one-hand opening.

SOG Desert Camo Trident

The Trident uses S.A.T.™ technology to open the knife, just open the knife about 1/3 of the way and the knife does the rest. There is also a built-in safety to lock the blade in the closed position, when it shows red the knife is ready to be deployed.

CRKT® Gallagher Glide Lock™

The sleek, natural look of Barry Gallagher's Glide Lock from Columbia River Knife & Tool® depends on two very modern technologies. The first is the Glide Lock that relies on a sliding stainless steel mechanism hidden within one bolster. Slide the bolster out, and it creates a tang to rotate the blade open. Slide the bolster back and the blade is locked open. To close, slide the bolster out and rotate the blade closed with your index finger. Slide the bolster back to lock the Glide Lock closed. It's fast, lightweight, compact, and secure.

CRKT Kommer Fulcrum™

When we thought we had seen every way possible to open a folding knife, Columbia River introduces the Kommer Fulcrum. To open the Fulcrum, simply press the left side of the frame down with your thumb. The blade swings out to the 90-degree position. Then pull the left side of the frame back, gripping with your index finger at the choil, and the blade continues to rotate open and lock in the open position. After a few openings, you can do it naturally in one continuous, fluid action. To close the Fulcrum, simply release the stainless steel locking liner. One-hand closing is also fast and easy.

Lake Thunderbolt™ and Tunderbolt™ 2

Study aircraft history, and you find the name Thunderbolt connected both to the P-47 fighter and A-10 fighter-bomber. They are both invariably described as "large, rugged, dependable." Those words also fit Ron Lake?s new locking liner design for the Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) Thunderbolt™.

CRKT® Lake Sentinel

Custom knives are often set apart by the exotic materials they employ. So it should be no surprise that custom knifemaker Ron Lake was persistent in his desire that CRKT should do the same thing with the production Sentinel. Thanks to Ron, these models resemble customs, using premium materials throughout.

Hand Knapped Obsidian Skinner and Dagger

During the time when a cutting tool was some form of stone, volcanic glass (obsidian) was the most prized of all the materials available. It enabled blades to be made that would cut better than any other material. Obsidian was so prized that men would travel hundreds of miles on foot to gather enough for a supply of tools. Landon Selby, the expert craftsman who has made our obsidian knives for years, uses the same materials and the same techniques to create all the models we offer.

Traditional Japanese Hunter

Japanese knifemaker Takeshi Saji makes knives using the very best materials. The White Steel center core of this 6" blade, which provides the cutting edge, is a pure carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness above 60. Each side consists of 11 layer Suminagashi, the Japanese equivalent of Damasteel.

W. R. Case® Johnny Cash Commemorative Trappers

Johnny Cash has been a legend in American Country Music for several decades. In the early years he was truly a rebel with a unique vocal style that set him apart. As his life progressed, he was recognized not only by his fans, but by industry insiders as a true innovator in the industry. With these two commemorative trappers, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery pays tribute to the "Man in Black".

Canal Street Cutlery D'Holder Integral Hunter

Late in 2007, Canal Street Cutlery introduced an exciting new design by well-known knifemaker D'Alton Holder. The cast integral hilt/bolster and 3-1/2" mirror polished drop point blade is 19C27 Swedish stainless at 60-62 Rc. For this A. G. Russell™ Exclusive, the handle scales are our own carefully selected cocobolo with a coined nickel silver Canal Street shield.

Buck® Guitar Series

Each year Buck® creates a small group of customized knives using standard Buck® models. For 2008, among other models, they have created what they refer to as the Buck Guitar series. This series utilizes real guitar fret material and mother-of-pearl or abalone dots set in cocobolo or Indian rosewood handle scales.

Lone Wolf® Paul® Protector

The Protector is a tough, sleek folder with an aggressive reinforced-tip blade that will handle any cutting task you are likely to encounter. The handle is profiled to fit in your hand for a secure and comfortable grip and yet is slim in the pocket.

CRKT H.U.G.™ and H.U.G.™ 2

In 2007, CRKT followed one of the most successful designs, the K.I.S.S. in modern knife history with the H.U.G.™. For 2008, they have made a tactical version with black non-reflective titanium nitride coating.

CRKT Veff M.U.K.™

Because Tom knows knives from his life as a meat cutter, professional knife sharpener, and designer of knives and Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) exclusive Veff™ Serrations, he designed one of the most carefully thought-out fixed blades we have ever produced, even though it also has the lowest price of any knife in our catalog. He calls it the Marine Utility Knife (M.U.K.™).

CRKT Graham Razel™ Series

When Jon and Josh Graham of Graham Knives in Cleveland, Tennessee, developed their custom Graham Razel™ in 2001, most knife blades came to a single point. Not the Razel. It's a cross between a chisel and a razor with a knife handle. The result gives two useful Razor-Sharp™ edges, one for pushing or tapping, and the other for precise cutting. You also get two strong blade points. The Graham brothers have been very successful with their custom versions in a variety of sizes and styles.

CRKT Horus™

Horus is familiar to Egyptologists as the hawk-headed god, lord of the sky. As Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker Allen Elishewitz developed this design for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®), similar in many ways to his larger custom Creedmore, we saw an aggressive hawk-like character in its crisp edges, facets and choils, hence the Horus™ name. It reminds us of an F-117 stealth fighter, too.

CRKT Scarab™

In Ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle represented resurrection and renewal, and was depicted in art and jewelry as a talisman of good fortune. Allen Elishewitz is an acclaimed young Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker who offers a surprising range of custom knives, many with Egyptian-themed names.

CRKT Pazoda™ and Pazoda™ 2

The Pazoda™ is a stylish frame-lock folder with a 2-5/8" premium 8Cr14MoV blade at 58-59 Rc., gray titanium nitride coated.

CRKT Drifter

The Drifter G10 is a locking liner folder with black G10 scales and a premium 2-7/8" 8Cr14MoV stainless steel drop point blade at 58-59 Rc. in a gray titanium nitride finish. It features an InterFrame build with stainless steel liners and a black stainless steel clip.

CRKT Pharaoh™

Those of you who are familiar with Allen Elishewitz's web site of exquisite custom knives will know that the production CRKT Pharaoh is very different from Allen's custom Pharaoh. Sorry for any confusion, but this is a unique design that incorporates many of Allen's themes and is well deserving of the title "king." You will look very hard to find a production knife in this price class that is anything like the Pharaoh, so it does stand a bit larger than life.

CRKT Anubis™

In 2007, Allen Elishewitz , the acclaimed Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker designed the CRKT® production version of his Anubis (the jackal-headed god of the underworld, according to ancient Egyptian mythology). For 2008, they have added the black-on-black "K" models with titanium nitride blade coating, plus black liners, bolsters, fasteners and removable clip.

Kershaw Northside Hunter

Designed with the serious hunter in mind, the Northside Hunter has an ergonomic handle design and an angled blade design to help make field dressing an easier task.

CRKT Gallagher Badger®

As you know, Barry Gallagher is one of the most acclaimed members of the Knifemakers' Guild, well known for his award-winning high-end custom art knives. So CRKT had a special challenge in producing Barry's Badger design at a quality level that would satisfy him, while keeping the price low enough to satisfy you.

CRKT Ashworth Turtle™

The custom "Thomas C. Turtle" models, designed by Knifemakers™ Guild member Boyd Ashworth, have won back-to-back Best Miniature Folder awards at consecutive Blade Shows. With the exotic materials used, such as wooly mammoth, mother-of-pearl, fossil walrus, and gold, and the use of Boyd's own Damascus steels, you could speed close to four figures to own one.

CRKT Slip K.I.S.S.®

This Ed Halligan design is an answer to requests for changes in the very popular CRKT® K.I.S.S.® knives. The result, the Slip K.I.S.S.® is the lightest full-size K.I.S.S. knife yet. It has a full 2-3/4" blade, but weighs only 1.8 ounces.

Buck® 55 with Buffalo Horn

The Buck® 55 is a half-sized version of the Buck 110 Lockback, the knife the Buck company was built on. The 110 was developed in 1963, is still in production in Buck's Idaho manufacturing facility and has been copied by companies from around the globe. Buck® was so instrumental in the development of the lockback that the model was for a long time referred to as a Buck knife, no matter who the manufacturer was.

Buck® Gen-5™ Skinner Guitar

For 2008, Buck® has created a series of three knives inspired by the artistry of handcrafted guitars. The handles are crafted from actual guitar fret material and abalone dots set in rich cocobolo wood scales. The first in this series is the Buck® Gen-5™, a fixed blade knife introduced in 2007.

Bark River 1855 Hunting Bowie

Bark River Knife & Tool Co. is a specialty Cutlery Company that focuses on producing fixed blade knives with maximum performance. Using a blend of modern and traditional manufacturing methods they have developed a series of knives with traditional visual appeal and superb blade performance. This is a small company and their production capacity is limited.

CRKT® L'il Guppie™

While the CRKT® L'il Guppie? is much smaller than the full-size Guppie, it is a surprisingly useful tool. In this minimal design, CRKT has managed to pack many functions including an adjustable wrench, knife, flat and Phillips screwdriver blades, bottle opener, carry carabiner and pocket/money clip.

Spyderco® Tenacious

The Tenacious is the first main line Spyderco® to be made in China. The quality is similar to Japanese or American produced Spyderco® knives and the price is much lower. The handle is black G-10 laminate, milled with prolonged fatigue-free cutting in mind.

W.R. Case Curly Zebrawood Series

Curly Zebrawood is a new handle material for Case®. It is a beautiful wood that is so named because of the zebra-like stripes that run through it. It is a heavy hardwood with a rather coarse texture and a wavy or "curly" pattern. This wood is not often used in production knife handles because of the difficulty of working with it.

Gerber Mini Covert

The Covert from Gerber was a 3/4 size version of the big run-away best seller Applegate-Fairbairn® Combat Folder. The Covert was itself a big seller. Its 4-5/8" handle made it still a pretty big knife for the average pocket.

Boker® Cinch Fastback Roper

The latest introduction of Cinch pocketknives offers a true workhorse for inside and outside the arena. Features a stainless steel handle, with western scroll engraving with 24K gold accents.

Wrangler® Yellowhorse® Folders

The handles are created by Navajo silversmith David Yellowhorse using turquoise, bloody jasper, black jet and ironwood inlaid with nickel silver on both sides of the knife.

CRKT Ultima - black Veff Serrations

From the Manufacturer:

"Today's tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael Martinez, inventor of the Merlin® knife deployment system, didn't start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, "We tested over 400 knives with the Merlin system, and I kept noticing how many knives, even expensive ones, didn't feel right, didn't have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental tactical grips."

Leatherman® Skeletool™ and Skeletool™Cx

We have waited almost a year to offer this tool! At last year's S.H.O.T. Show, we were shown a prototype of Leatherman's new Skeletool™ and Skeletool™-CX. The basic premise is a really lightweight pocket tool with the most needed features and one hand opening and closing.

Kershaw® Shallot

Kershaw's latest model in the Onion series, that began with the Chive, is the Shallot. The largest yet, it is truly a full size knife. As with the other models, it makes use of Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted ambidextrous opening.

Xikar® Rainbow Folders

Both the Xikar Spectra Express and the Xikar Spectra Xian are small frame lock folders with a mid-frame, integral style removable pocket or money clip.

W. R. Case® Curly Zebrawood Series

Curly Zebrawood is a new handle material for Case®. It is a beautiful wood that is so named because of the zebra-like stripes that run through it. It is a heavy hardwood with a rather coarse texture and a wavy or "curly" pattern. This wood is not often used in production knife handles because of the difficulty of working with it. It has historically been used for veneer for custom furniture and furniture trim and inlays. It is very difficult to plane or machine.

Lone Wolf® Paul® Executive with Marble Cocobolo

The Paul® Executive is a new Paul Poehlmann design that Lonewolf will introduce at the S.H.O.T. Show at the end of January 2008, with a first production run of 400 pieces with Marble Cocobolo handle scales. It was marked on the reverse side of the blade "First Production - 2008". Both the Marble Cocobolo version and a 3-D Carbon Fiber version have become a standard part of the Lone Wolf line.

Spyderco® Kopa with Honey Jigged Bone

In 2005, Spyderco® launched their Kopa series which has been made up of approximately three knives per year with exceptionally unique handle variations. To date, inlays have been Cocobolo, Black Micarta®, Evrina, Apple Coral, Tiger Coral, Gold Lip Pearl, Turquoise, Black Quince and White Pearl with Abalone. This newest features beautiful Honey Jigged Bone.

Remington® 26th Annual Bullet® Barlow

Remington® is calling their 2008 Annual Bullet® Knife "The Veteran." They will produce several thousand with 440 stainless blades and a very limited run of only 220 with Damascus blades. The model is a classic Barlow with Amber Jigged Bone scales, brass liners, and nickel silver bolsters and bullet inlay.

Queen Cutlery Birdseye Maple Utility Knife

Since 1922, Queen Cutlery has strived to remain one of the oldest old and most trustworthy American knife companies. They produce mostly traditional patterns of folding and fixed blade knives under their name as well as Schatt & Morgan. They still use some of the old Schatt and Morgan equipment, tooling and processes and are respected for their high quality vintage style pocketknives and hunting knives in the U.S. today.

Klötzli® Walker 05 with Black Pearl Inlay

When you look at a Klotzli knife keep in mind that it is handcrafted to exacting standards in H. P. Klotzli's small shop in Burgdorf, Switzerland. When you hold a Klotzli knife in your hands you can't help but notice that it is unusual. First, Klotzli selects designs from some of today's top knife designers - Michael Walker, Brian Tighe and Christian Wimpff for example, and he chooses only the highest quality materials. Then comes the part that is lacking in so many knives today: the craftsmanship.

Traditional Japanese Hunters

Saji knives are made using the very best materials. The White Steel center core of the 7-1/4" blade, which provides the cutting edge, is a pure carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness above 60. Each side consists of 11 layer Suminagashi, the Japanese equivalent of Damasteel.

Boker® Hunter's Combo

A set of two knives carried in a single sheath is not highly common even though knives have been carried this way since nearly the beginning of time. We have worked with Boker® to create this set that includes a hunter with a 3-5/8" swedged drop point blade and a caper with a 2-1/4" drop point blade.

Kershaw® Tyrade

At the 2007 Blade Show, Kershaw introduced an innovative twist on blade steel. The Tyrade has a 3-5/8" beefy drop point composite blade that consists of a spine of 154CM fused to a cutting edge of CPM-D2 at 58-60 Rc. This creates a unique look for a blade and allows the manufacturer to use a lesser quality steel for the spine and one of the new expensive high performance steels for the cutting edge. This is the first knife ever produced using this technology and Kershaw chose to use two expensive steels.

A. G. Russell™ American Hobo oiled ram's horn

On a dealer's table at the 2006 Blade Show, we found and purchased an antique Hobo knife that was the most elegant I had ever seen. The mark was Ostdiek Co. Minneapolis, one I had never seen before. I have checked with many dealers and collectors in the pocketknife portion of this industry and have found no one who knows anything about that company. It is my belief that the knife was produced in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

A. G. Russell™ Shopmade® Chute Knife

In the late 1960s, I designed a knife for the pilots in Vietnam. By 1972, we were producing this knife in our newly aquired Morseth knife company which I purchased in 1970 from Harry Morseth's son Gordon after Harry's death. I hired a very young Bob Dozier to move the Morseth shop to Springdale, Arkansas where we made Morseth® knives until early 2000.

Al Mar® Eagle Classic or Talon

The Eagle, Al Mar's® largest classic folder has been re-introduced in 2007 with both the original fully flat ground Classic blade with a nail nick and with the new Talon blade with a deep top swedge and dual thumbstuds.

SOG Bi-Polar Black TiNi

From the manufacturer:
The Bi-Polar is very capable. It's the first dual assisted knife with twin blades. Using patented SOG Assisted Technology™, each blade is propelled out once the operator has initiated the blade opening action. It might be the perfect rescue knife, whether used by law enforcement, emergency medical personal or in your garden releasing the grip of a tenacious vine.

Skalja® Inspiration with Bloodwood Scales

The Inspiration is one of two models being produced by Canadian knifemaker Laurent Doussot under the Skalja™ trademark. Laurent was born in France and now lives in Québec. In 1990, while studying Fine Arts, he discovered handmade knives which became a vehicle for his passion for sculpture and mold making. His knives are inspired by forms found in nature and all have a three-dimensional, carved shape.

Koji Hara Sakai Cutlery Collaboration

This unusual and exquisite gentleman's folder is a collaboration between one of Japan's top makers of handmade folders (Koji Hara) and one of Japan's top knife manufacturers (G. Sakai). The theme is the bamboo plant, one common in Japanese history and culture. The natural slim shape and flexible curves of the female bamboo makes it a perfect material for the creation of many utilitarian items.

Stag and VG-10 Damascus Hunter

For several years, we have purchased knives from Japan with blades made of a laminated steel with a VG-10 core. First it was a seven-piece set of A. G. Russell™ kitchen knives with white Corian® handles. What an elegant set - and extremely sharp for use in the home or professional kitchen. Then early this year, we introduced two different sizes of a drop point folder with Chinese Quince and White Bone handles. This will be the first hunting knife that we have offered with this blade steel.
