15h ago
Here’s a heads-up on a recent A.G. Russell Knives release that flew under the radar: the Powerball 4. This latest incarnation of the now seven year-old series changes things up quite a bit over its predecessors. A.G. Russell Knives, founded by and named after the late, great knife maker, is that rare bird, a company that is both an all-purpose knife dealer, as well as manufacturer of their own models. Right up until his passing in 2018, Russell was working on knife models, some of which did not even see release until after his death. Since then, the team at AGK has continued to turn out both t ..read more

Vosteed Tweaks Sheepsfoot Basics for Inbound Talarurus Model
KnifeNews

3d ago
There’s another new Vosteed model inbound: check out the Talarurus. Called “Tala” for short, this one is another entry in Vosteed’s core genre of aesthetically pleasing workhorse folders with interesting mechanical elements. Vosteed is a company created by a community member, which is to say: a knife enthusiast. So it’s no surprise that Vosteed’s releases, from a design perspective, are “knife fan’s knives,” with an emphasis on cool blade shapes that can entice even seasoned collectors. For the Tala, company co-founder Yue Dong took the basic sheepsfoot concept and gave it a heavily modified f ..read more

GiantMouse Does Iona V2 Limited Run Double Dip

Heads up to collectors and would-be Iona V2 owners out there: GiantMouse dropped a pair of limited edition variations of the model on their site this week. Handle material and steel options are the name of the game with these new limited eds. Quick refresher on the Iona V2 itself, because none of the dimensional specifications are changed here. The Iona V2, as the name implies – or rather, explicitly says – is the second iteration of GiantMouse duo Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes’s original design. They took that first version and increased the size somewhat, increasing its cutting cabalities whi ..read more

Latest WE/Torbé Joint Fuses Karambit Ring to Wharnie Blade
KnifeNews
by KnifeNews Editorial Staff
1w ago
Maciej Torbé and WE Knife Co. have something pretty spicy cooking for April. Check out the Yardbird, a compact, high-tech knife that fuses a karambit handle to an EDC-ready wharncliffe blade shape. Maciej Torbé is a maestro when it comes to visual panache. In both custom and production work, he is always pushing stylistic boundaries – and always in different ways, too: as an example, look at the Civivi Maxwell and Aratra; both are deeply distinct from a visual standpoint, both come from Torbé, but they are wildly different from a visual point of view. Note that the button lock is on the ‘offsi ..read more

James Brand has just expanded the Kline line with a new, dressier variation of the knife. Clad in marbled carbon fiber but with the same workhorse dimensions and premium blade steel, the carbon fiber Kline adds an upscale variant into the pool of options for this US-made folder. If you don’t have or don’t know the Kline, here’s the recap: originally released in 2022, the Kline made waves, not just as another EDC knife in the company’s lineup, but as their first made-in-the-USA knife. The core of the experience was the mid-sized 3.4-inch blade, drawn in a handsome, wide drop point with a genero ..read more

We don’t talk about Svord as often as we want to, so we’re happy to be able to discuss a new variant of their flagship Peasant Knife friction folder today. This one, made in the same fashion as its predecessors, is a bit fancier with upgraded scales and a new blade steel called DAMAX in tow. If you are not familiar with Svord, it is a small but mighty shop based in New Zealand, run by master cutler Bryan Baker. In a world that is increasingly un-analog, Baker continues to make his blades by hand, with offerings at both the pure, high-end, collector-approved level, as well as entry-level user-g ..read more

Thank you to Karesuandokniven for providing the knife sample in the first photograph below, and in the video on our Instagram feed!

Located in Swedish Lapland, Karseuando makes knives informed by the needs of the people who live in that region, which is itself a ..read more

Well, well, well, we’ve got some news out of French knife titan Opinel this week. You don’t see a ton of new models from the company, but they’re getting ready to foll out the No. 8 Forge, a limited edition take on their flagship folding knife. Underneath the eye-catching cosmetic differences, the Forge is very much the No. 8 that users all over the world (even those who would not consider themselves knife people) know and love. If you’re not in the know, the number in an Opinel folder’s name indicates the approximate length of the blade in centimeters; a No. 8 is 8.5cm long, which translates ..read more

TOPS and Forged in Fire Winner Collaborate for the First Time

2w ago
TOPS is back with another new release, this one a collaboration with custom maker (and Forged in Fire winner) Josh Navarette. It’s called the Armado, a stout all-purpose outdoors companion with a beefy workhorse of a drop point blade. There are a lot of ‘indoor only’ knife users, and these users tend to opt for folders, which fill their need for a compact tool that can handle the relatively simple chores of day-to-day modern life. But, if you spend any time at all outdoors, you’ll know that fixed blades designed for such adventures bring so much necessary utility to the table. That’s where the ..read more

Collectors take note: the new Gold Class Benchmade has dropped today. Let’s call it the Full Dress Full Immunity, a collector’s edition of the newish EDC release that may not actually make you healthier, but will certainly make you feel better to own, if you’re into the dressier side of knife collecting. The Full Immunity model is part of the Immunity family of low-profile, EDCable wharncliffe knives. The concept originated when Benchmade began fielding requests from federal employees for a useful knife that met the strict size requirements for employee carry inside government buildings.
