Lawrence Ho co-founder of BRS here at blade show 2018 our first booth got the
table here with some plastic old products new products new folder' line
and yeah it could take you through the table take you through the booth and
kind of just show you guys what's up we can start you know I'm gonna save this
for last this is like some some juicy stuff over here obviously this we
brought all the classic balisong models this year the alpha beasts bare bones
this year we came out with the new Bowie blade they came out real nice and I and
we still have this standard clip point blade for the Alpha beast these are some
bare-bones trainers this is what most people are familiar
with but what's more interesting is if you move over to this side this is kind
of the evolution of BRS obviously you can see we progressed not just into
folders but several folders several different types of folders here we have
the new warhead auto aluminum handles s35vn steel titanium clip it's actually
bearing driven so the launch is extremely fast and it comes in three
color variants black OD green and and blue these are obviously us-made these
are the less bore he's volt runners done in the carbon fiber scale and the
titanium liners we're also gonna do this like the standard version of this is
kind of like a special run but the standard version will have g10 and
either like a stone wash liner and some of them will have some color liners as
well these are also bearing Durbin titanium clip just like a really nice
gentlemen's folder and over here is our new import series E Volve line this is
really exciting because we're able to bring a lot of new models this year to
people you know and collaborate with a lot of different different makers and
artists this one's actually designed by BBK it's really designed for like an
everyday carry type of knife the Minuteman is is
bearing driven titanium handles s35vn steel machined titanium clip the
features of bearings in a steel lock but we really tried to put the works like
everything into this knife to make it like an absolute an absolute value you
know just the standard version and this black finish comes in at under 200 are
of 190 and these specialty finished ones are our 220 if you want to move over to
the wall I'll show you guys some of the other prototypes that we're working on
this is another collaboration this is Gavco the thresher much bigger nice
much bigger blade but carries extremely well all the E Volve series we're going to
have the skill insert lock puck and they all run on bearings this is the
overwatch this is actually a native BRS design
it's got the custom pivot the really unique machining reversible clip again
lock bug bearing this is in the OD green and black finish there's there going to
be a couple variations of this as well this was also a native PRS design the
fragment it's a small little EDC it's a thumb striker style opening with carbon
fiber and it's also going to come in all titanium as well it's got a machine
spacer with the lanyard hole in the back and this unique machine clip and the
last one we have here is the Apache people really have taken a like to the
Apache because it's got the unique pivot here the herringbone style grip texture
and you know we really try to make all the lines flow and one of the unique
things about the evolve line is they all have a kind of an aggressive unique look
but organ amelie we made sure that the blade profiles and the handles were
really meant to just melt in your hand and be very functional at the same time
there's probably four knives they didn't even make this wall this year so you
know we went from last year having your bread and butter and bolisongs three
different models and then this year just skyrocketing out in having all these
prototypes all these folders and there's just a landslide of more coming so I
saved the best for last the stuff that people were really asking about that
made it this show so we've been working on what's called the hybrid replicant so
as you know the standard replicant is a g10 scale its over tie liner and a lot
of our customer has been asking for a tie scale because they like the extra
weight and the way it handles the extra momentum that it carries and obviously
it's like aims just an awesome material you can see here this one's got the
satin finish and it has a little bit of a polish whereas this one's got a more
of a matte finish with the anodization this green you know it just came out
killer the difference is if you guys aren't as familiar of the product the
g10 has a little hole here with three holes and a little bit of what the
milling out of the g10 top bottom so on this one he's got a longer slot with a
little mill groove here and that was to ensure that the balance wasn't too
different from the g10 version still going to flip excellent carry a little
bit more weight obviously because the scales are titanium but still have the
same handling characteristics and this is the spear point blade the all blade
and the and the tanto blade and a big surprise this year that we came out with
so this looks like your standard Alpha beast maybe up front but we flip over to
the other side these are actually the channel alpha beasts so this is
something that a lot of people asked were a channel style PRS balisong and
we've done it here with the with the alpha beasts and two different blade
variations the spear point all blade that a lot of people are familiar with
the standard clip-point and we're gonna be offering this in you know you'll see
some of the same thing you know this these colors would probably look
familiar this is the same colors on the premiums it'll eventually come out with
a Bowie and have different variations people have flipped these and we've
engineered these so that they kept the same feel and balance as the as a
sandwich if you look in here this cutout mimics the spacer and that's not it's
not an accident that's done so that these have the same character the
distinctive character when you're flipping it as the one that everyone is
used to and loves so we made sure that the flipping performance of the channel
and and and the weight stayed true to the original design but was unique in
its you know monolithic handle so this was a huge draw everyone who's flipped
it absolutely loves it we're super happy it's got that distinctive channel sound
just came out killer so yeah awesome awesome time at blade show
so far booth was a lot of fun really
represented the branding of BRS real well people really receive it really
well and that's been great you know we're really developing a lot of
exciting things happening and uh you know couldn't be possible without the
support of the the community and so it's been awesome so thanks for visiting the
booth and just look look forward to making it even bigger and better
