The Revolution Butterfly Knife

One of our newest additions to our growing line of value butterfly knives is the Revolution Butterfly Knife.  This all black knife sports a spear point blade with a small groove down the middle of the blade.  The blade is sharp on one edge and has great action.  If you prefer faster or slower movement, you can adjust the blade tension with the torx screws in the handle.  The handle has a unique shape that is somewhat squared off.  I like the look, but even better, I like the feel of these handles.  They are easy to hold onto.  The weight on this butterfly is mid to heavy and the action is top notch.  This is a great butterfly knife.

KA-BAR FIN Fixed Blade Knife, KA5555

Recently, we added a couple of new KA-BAR knives to our inventory.  I know the original style KA-BAR, the fighting knife icon from WWII, is always popular with knife collectors for a wide variety of reasons.  It is a good, solid fixed blade knife.  I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when we ordered the FIN fixed blade knife.  It is a big change as far as style and layout for KA-BAR.  When we got these knives into stock, I spent some time with the FIN fixed blade knife and have been very surprised at how comfortable and manageable this knife really is.   
The bent shape of the handle makes it comfortable to hold.  It also makes it feel as if this is a knife that actually extends your reach significantly.  As far as most fixed blade combat knives, the straight handle always means you have to bend your wrist slightly to point the knife forward.  With the FIN, the slightly bent shape means you can hold your wrist in a more natural position.  I like this.  As far as using the FIN for a survival type knife it passes with high marks in this arena.  The blade is heavy enough to serve you in chopping, cutting, slashing and many other survival needs.  And the knife blade is made of D2 steel which means it is durable enough and strong enough to cut without losing it’s edge quickly.  This is a great, non-conventional fixed blade knife.  KA-BAR did it right with the FIN series.

Microtech UTX70 Out the Front Knife with Damascus Blade

Occasionally, Microtech will produce a special run of knives.  Just a day or so ago, we put the newest special run of out the front knives that Microtech has produced into stock.  The UTX70 with a Damascus blade is an amazing piece of art, as well as being a great knife.  The MT149-DAM is a limited run edition of UTX70’s that have a Damascus steel blade, with a tanto point, as well as bronzed hardware.  The 70 is a very small version of the ever popular Ultratech knife that has been the flagship knife for Microtech for so many years. 
This knife measures in at 6.75″ when fully open and the blade is 2.375″ long.  One of the smallest production OTF knives currently on the market, if not the smallest, this model is sure to become an instant collector’s classic.  It is made by Microtech, it is part of a limited run, it has a special Damascus blade, and it has the bronzed hardware.  Get your’s while they last–they are going very fast.

Tumult OTF Knives back in stock!

We were able to get several of the Benchmade H&K knives back in stock.  The Tumult, if you don’t already know, is an out the front knife built by Benchmade as part of their H&K line of knives.  This OTF has good solid action.  It is a dual action OTF, which means the slide trigger on the side of the handle opens and closes the knife.  It is made with a variety of blade styles, either with a black finish or the ever classic stainless look.  And either of these blades can be found with a plain edge or with partial serrations.  This is a great all around OTF knife.

SOG-Tac Automatic Knife, New Models

SOG just released their newest two models in the SOG-TAC line of automatic knives.  The 05 and the 06 share the same dimensions as the earlier models 1 through 4 but they are built with a drop point blade tip.  If you have never tried one of the SOG-TAC knives, as Ferris Buhler once said, “I would highly recommend it.”  These knives have several things going for them.  They are fast.  They are relatively light.  And they are almost unbelievable thin.  This makes them fantastic as every day carry knives.  These knives are very apparently built for tactical situations but they perform in every day situations also.  In fact, I carried one of the earlier models for about four months and it still is one of my favorite every day carry knives.  The new models come with a stainless steel finish blade (05) or a tactical black TiNi finish blade (06)–your choice.
