So, what are some of the best new knives of 2023?

I have the Tactile Turn Maverick. Beautiful blade, fantastic fit/finish. It is an excellent EDC Knife.

Also have the Quiet Carry 9 and it has an incredible action.

Lastly, received a 2022 knife last week that is outstanding as well…the Bernard Imamba.

How you liking the tactile? I'm on their order list... But have a ways to go

I think it is really good. The only thing I would have preferred would be a different type of lock other than an axis lock. A button lock would have been really cool even if it raised the price some.

Great! From what I have seen it looks like it's standard omega springs?

Magnacut Kabar Fighting knife "MagnaBar" made by Spartan, hands down.

Dont agree? Fight me (but wait til I get the knife first)

I think my Busse TGLB in Infi can take it.

That is very cool, looks a bit different from what their usual fixed blades., but still very “tactical”…
Do you mind if I ask how much it cost? I like it!
(Or is it custom?)

I wish! I don't think they are out yet (at least I hope not, that would mean I missed the drop!). If I were to guess, I'd say it's 250-300 educated guess? Haha, Spartans cost quite a pretty penny.

the perfect counter point against ALL the over-inflated knife market - usa made kershaw link in 20cv for only $100
nothing really touches this value point, not even close
(also, leeks can be had for $60 using 14c28n - nothing in that lower range bracket comes close value wise imho)

Yes that is a good price for that knife. I have an original link it's in 420hc. As you can see they up the game with the premium Steel.

I came across this and just keep going back to it.
Condor Patagon.
Walnut handle, nice guard and pommel...
The cutting edge is below the handle. I like that.
I think it's got a classic look. Sorta reminds me of a modern seax.
I don't need it, but the way it looks I think I gotta have it.

That's a tough call. Lots of critical misses for me so far this year.

Kizer just released this one. It's one of the more interesting designs among the current wave of button locks. I haven't handled it yet though...

This version was just announced...
