Wow..the Arc Angel coming back!
Mine was Carbon V back then. What's "Chrome Vandadium"?

 

[jlauffer]

Don't they have enough all-black knives? Totally ruined the Caledonian Edge and Spectre IMO. And surprised they didn't bring back the Hatamoto too.

Only positive thing I see here is that the liner lock will be stainless, whereas the old school versions had titanium locks which could/will develop some blade play over time.

Ugly, not nearly as nice as the old versions, but still glad to see it back.

Jlauffer: there might be a satin one too according to the picture i found of it, it might be in black and satin…

Wonder who's making the Arc Angel for them

yep.

for the potential volume would have to be a bigger outfit in 'murica.....kershaw could do it maybe...but if so gonna be super pricey.

anyone seen the price point on it....msrp or potential street pricing yet?

Bear and Sons occasionally produce a nice knife. Weird how they have such inconsistent quality across various models. I wonder who’s making that US made “Republic Bushcraft” knife for Cold Steel.

They have some great legacy-blades for sure; especially the Hatamoto. Be nice if some of the XL's would come-back too.

I've avoided Bear and Sons because of all the negative things I've heard about them. Had a chance to handle one of their balisongs at a sporting shop and I wasn't impressed either.

Those are listings for the original blades, no sign of any satin version
