hey everybody Rick hinder here at SHOT Show 2019 in the booth it's been a
really really busy year for us here at shot show very successful year the
amount of excitement around the Rick hinderer knives brand is unbelievable
absolutely unbelievable tailored dino and i have been we've been swamped here
at the booth so david here at knifecenter he came over yesterday and I was
busy busy busy so I'm glad he was able to come back so that I can tell you
exactly what is new for Rick Hinderer knives at shot show yeah we I'm going to
show you three new knives one of them is our shot show debut and I kind of
debuted a little bit last week before I came out to shot on a live feed and but
it really exploded when I put up our the official kind of picture debut Monday
before the show and that is of our vintage series now this is the vintage
series I decided to do it on a on my XM 18 platform and some of you have seen my
my Instagram and Facebook accounts when I when I described this knife and what
is new about it obviously as you can see it's a XM 18 three-and-a-half inch in a
spear point but what I do is I took my love of history and vintage military
firearms and I kind of put it into my modern tactical knife and what I mean by
that is obviously you can see you can see the the walnut scales and those
scales are actually linseed oil finished so exactly the way like an old m1 Gerande
was back in World War 2 or 1903 in or one and for the blade the other thing
I did which is really cool O1 tool steel one tool steel is a
steel cutlery steel is developed back in the early 1900s it's an awesome awesome
tool steel or blade steel actually and you know we're so used to the modern the
modern crucible Steel's and powder metal Steel's which are fantastic that we
forget that some of the old Steel's that got us through over one World War two
are great excellent cutlery Steel in and of itself now you see the black that
is Parker izing Parker izing is a is a finish that was used on
military firearms and knives back during World War two and also World War one and
even before that it's a really good corrosion resistant finish and it kind
of completed the whole vintage look of the knife the other thing that I that I
did was I did a special green anodizing on a working finish which actually made
it look like the old Parker izing from the from the 1903 s and in World War one
has a really cool OD green look and we completed the whole package with what we
call an antique finished hardware so all the hardware has like it almost looks
like a color case hardening and which really it kind of completed the whole
look so this is our vintage series and I tell you what it went over the amount of
excitement around the vintage series is just amazing and which I'm super super
stoked about because it goes it goes into in with my my love of history and
and vintage firearms so we got like a modern tactical with some of the old
retro type materials and look so this is the vintage series these are shipping
out this week to your favorite dealers the next thing I've got now this is the
full track the full track release was done a couple a couple weeks ago this
was a highly anticipated knife since I debuted at the SHOT Show
I was fortunate enough to win the most innovative American design with the full
track and a tri way pivot system and this was the platform that actually the
tri way pivot system was born in so it's a three and three and a three-quarter
inch blade really a really great working knife and again the excitement around
the full track has been absolutely phenomenal frame lock construction
double inlaid g10 handles and but the coolest thing about this knife is is the
fact that you could completely take the knife apart and adjust it with a tool
that's on board the knife and the tool just comes right out it's actually cammed
into the back spacers like the HMDs that i developed and you can take you can
take the handles off you can adjust it you can take the whole knife apart just
with this tool and the tool is again it scammed in to where there's no way that
that's going to come out so the full track is I've been shipping for the past
couple weeks and we're going to be shipping some more up on here so contact
your favorite dealer on the full track so and again these are 20 CV and the
next batch party s35vn so really cool knife really cool next we're really
excited about it and the last one I got for is another one that released a
couple weeks ago and it also generated a huge amount of excitement and that is
the first fixed blade that I have done and oh guys probably a few years this is
called the ranch bowie and it is a 3b blade type bowie knife which is great in
a in a camp backpacking scenario as well as hunting
it has contoured micarta handles which are offered in natural micarta green
micarta and OD green g10 so it's a knife that really really is comfortable and
sits in your hand well it just wraps right around that's
what everybody has been really kind of talking about how comfortable this knife
is and and at the the other really neat thing about the ranch bowie is it comes
with a leather sheath so this is a really a thick real thick very high
quality leather sheath that is made by some Amish an Amish leather shop just
down the road from us woodland harness made these for us they
specialize in law-enforcement dog like dog harnesses leads and stuff like that
for canine teams and though they were they made to look the leather sheath for
us and it really completed the look on this knife so so that's uh that's pretty
much those are the new items that we've had Rick Hinderer knives is we're
killing it this year 2019 we're starting out with a lot of really cool prod
projects and this year we have more projects into work and it's going to be
a great year for Rick hinderer knives I appreciate all of your support and look
for into the seen you online take care folks
