SHOT Show favorites?

[The True North]

I’m interested to know everyone’s favourite new models shown at SHOT this year.

Personally I’m pretty into the Military 2 from Spyderco, and the new USA-made Libertariat from ESEE. The model I’m most looking forward to getting my hands on to try though has to be the new Buck Alpha Scout in S35VN. It just looks like a great little hunting knife, and it also seems like it will be a good small EDC fixed blade with that nice little sheath it comes with.


Let’s hear your thoughts!

I'm glad a few manufacturers came up with new dagger designs. I particularly liked the Spartan blades new Raider dagger.

That is definitely very slick. Do you know what the handle materials are on those?

Interested in seeing feedback on Eikonic, a new budget brand that is getting designs from a big-name makers like Brian Brown, Brian Nadeau, and Ramon Chavez. Getting one of their designs at a sub-$100 price point is definitely something novel. So far, the only thing I don't like about them is the branding on the blades.

^meh not so much for me, looks a bit over the top. I’m waiting for this guy to be released

For me it will be the Microtech stitch ram lock / manuel

 

[Knives&Lint]

Microtech for me as well, but the other new folder, the MSI.

The Spyderco Stok looks awesome. Definitely going to grab one of them.

I'm excited for the Military 2 & MicroJimbo from Spyderco. The MSI looks really compelling as well.. will likely be my first Microtech.

That thing would be GORGEOUS without the axis lock hole mucking up the scales. Tactile, make a liner lock version of this!!!

Though I don't buy CRKT, the Definitive is at least different and interesting:

CRKT has some really awesome designs, they also have some terrible designs.

Im excited to see ZT bring this knife back, I dont know if I will be getting one, but maybe its a sign they'll be revisiting their roots

 

[AlpacaWrangler]

Gotta be the Military 2 for me.

I’ve been pretty pumped about this since I can’t find a socom elite anywhere. Any one have any word as to when these will be dropping ?

The Launch 15 was a little pre-SHOT Show and is in my pocket, so it might be a little unfair to pick it. The Lionsteel Willy and MKM Terzuola TPF are both super intriguing and the surprise dark horse for me is that the Cold Steel Swift 2 in M4 piqued my interest a bit.

 

[knerd]

Definitely the new Microtech Stitch.

I'm very interested in several items.

- I'll go ahead and get it out of the way, and I can't believe I'm even typing this (and I know I'm getting some laugh emojis over this one), but if CSMold Steel brings those knives they showed to market this year, I'm going to be in for most of them....dammit.
- I enjoyed the two Spartan fixed blades being made by Kabar, and I LOVE the Magnacut Kabar being made by Spartan, although I am pretty sure that's going to be prohibitively expensive, but we'll see.
- I really like that TOPS Woodcraft nessmuk looking knife and will get one when those come available.
- Siiigghhhh...put me on the list of the guys wanting one of those Microtech MSIs, I'll take one in satin with the OD G10, please and thank you.
- Some of the Limited Edition Bucks, I'll probably be in for. I know they're going to be expensive, but eh, is what it is.
- That one Boker with the Damascus blade made from steel taken from a wrecked 69 Camaro Z28? YES PLEASE.
- The Benchmade Mini Adamas with the satin CruWear blade and CF scales....siiiiighhhhh let me get my wallet.

That's about all I saw that really grabbed my attention.
