KA-BAR GUNNY KNIFE AN OVERSIZED BLADE COMMEMORATES A LARGER-THAN-LIFE PERSONALITY
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
From KA-BAR: "Designed by R. Lee Ermey, also known as "The Gunny." This was the last project The Gunny worked on before his passing in 2018. Created to be used in any and all terrains and situations. A portion of sales of the Gunny Knife will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation, an organization that was near and dear to R. Lee Ermey." (KA-BAR photo)R Lee Ermey Gunny Knife KA-BAR(KA-BAR photo)The Late Gunny’s Final Knife Collaboration Was Certainly Not His Least.KA-BAR Gunny ReviewThe KA-BAR Gunny is a hybrid design that resembles a bolo. I suspect R. Lee Ermey, the unforgettable Gunny who serves as the knife’s namesake, spent some time in jungles because this combination chopper/slicer’s performance is on par with village-forged bolos I’ve used in Southeast Asia, and that’s a high compliment.Its forward weight and terrific blade design promote efficient chopping. We cut through 3-to-4-inch-thick saplings with two strokes. We took down a tree with a 6-inch-thick truck just because we could.After the chopping the blade was still sharp enough for camp kitchen work. The belly, good balance and fine edge combined to make slicing meat and vegetables a pleasure. Slashing hanging rubber hose and the water bottle were a piece of cake.The comfortable handle lends itself both to heavy chopping and fine meat cutting, which is unusual.
Böker Partners up with CobraTec Yet Again for OTF Pen
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
Böker continues to roll out new automatic knives; their latest project in the genre is something quite different. The Böker Plus OTF Pen combines two different EDC tools, adding an automatic blade to a durable pen design.If you had to draw up a product based on the name “OTF Pen,” you’d probably come up with something similar to Böker’s creation. The pen itself is made from aluminum, with a chassis that echoes other “tactical” pens in the Böker lineup; the narrow waist flares out again towards the pen tip, creating an almost kubaton-like profile. The pen itself, a ball point, is deployed by twisting the pen barrel.
But the main selling point (pun intended) on the OTF pen is found at the opposite end. After the end cap is unscrewed, users can then deploy an automatic blade by pressing up on the pocket clip; pushing it in the other way retracts the blade again. The blade is a tiny drop point, measuring 1.57 inches long – so this is a backup knife, suited for little, unexpected cutting chores and not intended as a complete EDC package. Sometimes with these novelty-style products, blade steel is neglected – but enthusiasts will be glad to hear Böker chose to make the OTF Pen’s blade from D2 semi stainless, so the little knife should hold an edge for quite a while.Due to the legal issues surrounding the format, all of Böker’s recent automatic projects have been made with help from OEMs in the USA. One of Böker’s go-to partners for automatics is CobraTec, a Texas-based shop that put together the Kwaiken OTF and a new Balisong release. CobraTec makes an OTF pen of its own, and the Böker knife bears a strong family resemblance to that product.

Rick Hinderer Crafts Loving Tribute to KA-BAR’s Classic USMC Knife
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
Hinderer Knives is back with a new fixed, and it’s a tribute to one of the all-time greats. The Hinderer KaBar pays homage to the KA-BAR USMC Mk. 2 Utility Fighting Knife, with enough differences to distinguish it from its illustrious forbearer.The concept of a Hinderer KaBar came about as Rick Hinderer began brainstorming ideas for tribute knife to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. “Of course when one thinks of WWII and the knives used in that war, you automatically remember the KA-BAR knife,” Hinderer writes in a piece on his website. The USMC Mk. 2 Fighting Utility Knife, as the KA-BAR classic is formally known, is without a doubt the most iconic knife of WWII. It has moved beyond the knife world itself and gone on to become almost as ubiquitous as the Buck 110 or a Swiss Army knife. “So the seed was planted in my mind that I wanted to make a USMC Mark 2 Fighting Utility Knife or KaBar,” Hinderer continues.On the macro level, the Hinderer KaBar sticks to the unmistakable look of the original; the major differences are ones of construction and materials. The Hinderer KaBar features full tang construction (instead of a hidden tang-style build), with rounded Micarta scales replacing the stacked leather of its predecessor. The core of the enlarged cross guard is part of the tang, with aluminum scales bolted on top of it, and the redesigned pommel, also made from aluminum, is attached with another screw on the bottom.A look at the full tang construction of the Hinderer KaBarFor the blade Hinderer kept the iconic, California clip profile, the 7-inch edge length, and the big front-and-back fullers. The two changes of note are the blade steel, which here is ultra-tough 3V, and the big forward finger groove beneath the cutting edge. A leather sheath rounds out the package, providing a practical carry option as well as something historically apposite for those who plan to keep the Hinderer KaBar as a collector’s piece.During the design process, Hinderer reached out to KA-BAR for permission to use their name on this release. Thus hte KA-BAR wordmark is stamped on the off side of the blade tang; Hinderer himself notes that this is the first time KA-BAR has ever given anybody permission to use their logo on a rendition of this oft-imitated knife.

Viper Novis marries simple and modern perfectly Folding Knife
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
The Viper Novis is a simple, straightforward folder with incredible steel and Italian craftsmanship. From the mind of designer, Fabrizio Silvestrelli, this mid-size EDC is everything you need without the frills. It’s modern. It’s elegant, and we like it. A lot.The Viper Novis features a 3″ Bohler M390 stainless steel modified Wharncliffe blade with a satin finish. It’s .15″ thick and like most Viper knives, it has a smooth crowned spine. As Viper tells us, the blade shape has a “straight line and a strong tip, and thanks to the Böhler M390 steel, [it] has an extraordinary cutting capacity and long life.”Viper NovisThis is a manual front flipper. In the closed position, the flipper almost disappears. In fact, when you first look at the Viper Novis, you might not intuitively know how it opens. Like all front flippers, it takes some getting used to, but once you’ve got it down, it’s smooth as silk.The Novis is a liner lock with steel liners and several variations in handle materials. For the purpose of this article, we’re working with the OD Green canvas micarta version. We love its shape and grippy feel in hand, and we love that they’ve already tied a lanyard cord into the lanyard hole. But, we can already here our readers asking, “Where’s the pocket clip?” Well, there isn’t one. This knife comes with a black leather slip sheath.Viper NovisThe Novis is just 4″ closed and rides easily in the slip in your pocket. It’s 7″ overall and weighs in at about 4oz. Our source has the Novis available in the green Micarta you see in this article, as well as natural Micarta and Carob Fiber.Viper Novis Details3″ Bohler M390 Modified Wharncliffe BladeSatin finish.15″ thickCrowned SpineFront FlipperThrust BearingsLiner LockSteel LinersMicarta HandlesLanyard HoleViper NovisSlip Sheath4″ Closed7″ OverallWeighs 4.04oz.Made in Italy The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com
Holey or Unholey, the 2021 CRKT Squid is now an assisted opener Folding Knife
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
When Lucas Burnley designed the Squid, we have no idea if he knew how popular it would be. It’s been one of CRKT’s best-selling knives for years now, and it’s had a few different makeovers. For 2021, CRKT is adding a little power and deco to the CRKT Squid with two versions that are both assisted openers. The CRKT Squid Holey and the CRKT Squid Assist use CRKT’s updated assisted opening system and improve this popular knife with easier opening.We don’t have all the details, but we know that CRKT improved their assisted opening system for 2021. It’s easier to use than their previous system, and one-handed closing is much easier. We think they got it right, and based on the number of assisted openers in this year’s lineup, we guess they think they did too.CRKT Squid AssistedHow do you like your Squid? Holey or Unholey?CRKT is offering two different looks for these assisted opening Squids, but they both stay true to the original (and beloved) design. Both are framelocks with 8Cr14MoV drop point blades and stainless steel handles. Both have ambidextrous thumb studs to help deploy the blade one-handed, and both have removable tip-up pocket clips, but that’s where the similarities end.The CRKT Squid Assisted is slightly larger and features a 2.37″ blade with a bead blast finish. It closes down to 3.59″ and opens up to 5.94″ overall. The stainless steel handles are flat and smooth, beveled only around the very edge for comfort. The steel back spacer with integrated lanyard hole rounds out this handle nicely.The CRKT Squid Holey is slightly smaller and features a 2.25″ blade with a stonewash finish. It’s .1″ thick. It closes down to 3.49″ and opens up to 5.69″ overall. The “Holey” gets its name from the milled holes in the stainless steel front handle scale. It not only looks good, it cuts overall weight on this small EDC.CRKT Squid Assisted Details2.37″ 8Cr14MoV Drop Point BladeBead Blasted Finish.11″ ThickDual Thumb StudsAssisted OpeningFramelockStainless Steel HandlesRemovable Tip-up Pocket ClipLanyard Hole3.59″ Closed5.94″ OverallWeighs 3.7oz.CRKT Squid AssistCRKT Squid Holey Details2.25″ 8Cr14MoV Drop Point BladeStonewash Finish.10″ ThickDual Thumb StudsAssisted OpeningFramelockMilled Stainless Steel HandlesRemovable Tip-up Pocket ClipLanyard Hole3.49″ Closed5.69″ OverallWeighs 3.4oz.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com
Coming soon, new SMKW Exclusive Kershaw Airlock Folding Knife
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
There’s a new SMKW exclusive Kershaw Airlock coming soon. It has upgraded steel and OD green handles, and SMKW kept it in the budget friendly realm of about $30.The original Airlock had a bead blasted 3” 4Cr14 drop point, but with this exclusive Smoky Mountain Knife Works upgraded the steel to stonewashed D2. That gives it more toughness, and a much better edge retention. It’s still a Speed Safe assisted flipper with jimping along the thumb ramp.They also changed out the black GFN handles for a muted OD green. It gives it a great look that beautifully accents the cutout in the handle. It’s a linerlock with an ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole. It’s a pocket friendly ride with a handle thickness of about 0.5”, and it weighs just under 3 ounces.SMKW Exclusive Kershaw AirlockSMKW Exclusive Kershaw Airlock DetailsD2, Stonewash Finish3” Drop PointSpeedSafe Assisted FlipperLinerlockOD Green GFN HandlesStainless Steel Liners0.5” Handle ThicknessAmbidextrous Tip-Up Pocket ClipLanyard Hole2.9 Ounces4.25” Closed7.25” Overall

The Viper Belone is slim, sleek, and elegant
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
The Viper Belone is like you took a typically curvy Voxnaes design, stretched it out a bit, and then put it on a diet. The result is a slim, sleek cutting tool that’s as totally elegant as it is efficient. Viper tells us, “The Danish designer Jesper Voxnaes started from lines typical of the Italian regional tradition to design the Belone: perfectly reworked according to modern and minimalist style, which made him famous in all over the world. The result is a light and tapered folding knife, embellished with refined details, such as the holes in the back of the handle.”Viper BeloneWe tried to nail down the traditional patterns that influenced the look of this knife a bit. We can see some hints of the Pattada in the lines, perhaps some Maresciall, and maybe a touch of Navaja maybe? Since we’re by no means old Italian knife pattern experts, we quickly gave up guessing. What it truly boils down to is – this knife all Vox.The Belone has a fat 3.3” M390 clip point blade with a ton of belly for a long slice. It has a blade thickness of 0.12” and it’s hardened to a 60-61 HRC. Riding on a thrust ball bearing pivot, this manual flipper is beautifully balanced for a fast, easy action. It has a discreet flipper tab which not only helps keep the lines of this knife clean, but it also is one less thing to snag on your pocket.Viper BeloneWith a handle thickness of about 0.44”, it’s a slim knife that practically disappears in your pocket. It’s a linerlock with a plain stonewash finished, bronze anodized, or a blue anodized titanium frame. Additionally, those three models also are available with a carbon fiber overlay with the stonewash, blue or bronze anodized liners. The matching backspacer and the tip-up pocket clip are titanium. It’s 4.575” closed and weighs 3.1 ounces.Viper Belone DetailsBohler M390, Satin Finish3.3” Clip PointViper Belone0.12” Blade Thickness60-61 HRCManual Flipper, Thrust Ball Bearing PivotTitanium HandlesCarbon Fiber Overlay, Select Models0.44” Handle ThicknessTitanium Tip-Up Pocket Clip3.1oz.4.57” Closed7.87” OverallMade in Maniago, Italy

Vox says CRKT Ibi pronounced Ee-bee
Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
As Horatio says in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “There’s something rotten in Denmark.” It’s the pronunciation of the names of new CRKT knives. Take for example the sleek new Vox-designed CRKT Ibi. My East Tennessee brain tells me that’s “ih-bee”, but it’s not. According to famed Danish knife designer, Jesper Voxnaes, it’s “ee-bee”. See what I mean?The CRKT Ibi is as different as it’s Danish name. It’s sleek, slender and even has a copper finger ring, but you’d never mistake it for a Karambit. CRKT says it’s what happens, “When your EDC thinks it’s a kubaton.”CRKT IbiThe CRKT Ibi features a 2.7″ D2 sheepsfoot blade with a black stonewash finish. Except this sheepsfoot is .15″ thick and is upswept if you squint your eyes and look at it really hard. That’s because unlike a standard sheepsfoot that has a straight belly, this one has a long curved belly that round outs the long, loose S-shape formed when the Ibi is fully open.It’s also a manual flipper with the IKBS Ball Bearing System. The handles are grippy, black G-10 on this liner lock, and there’s a copper finger ring at the butt of the knife. In fact when it’s closed and dangled by the finger ring, this thing reminds me of a Marlin (minus the sail and the sword) hung up to be weighed on the docks.CRKT IbiIt’s 4.8″ closed (including the ring) and 7.5″ overall, and the ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip allows just the ring to ride above the pocket line. The blade all but disappears into the handle when it’s closed, making a very slim, light pocket carry at just 2.8oz.CRKT Ibi Details2.7″ D2 Modified Sheepsfoot BladeBlack Stonewash Finish.11″ Thick Manual FlipperIKBS Ball Bearing PivotLiner LockBlack G-10 HandlesCopper Finger RingAmbidextrous Tip-up Pocket Clip4.8″ Closed7.5″ OverallWeighs 2.8oz.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com
