hey what's up guys I'm Andrew from Kershaw at SHOT Show 2018 we've got the
2018 Kershaw and ZTE lineup for you so let's get started
up first we've got the camped Ten tan so a couple years ago we came out with the
camp ten and this year we've updated it with an awesome fde flat dark earth
color scheme so it's the same great knife same awesome features even more
rugged looking than it was before we've taken the handle and changed it from
black to this fde and we've changed the gray pommel and guard to black so check
this out it's an awesome knife if you're not familiar with the camp 10 it's full
tang 10 inches 65 mm steel with this black oxide coating not help protect the
blade and keep it in good shape it's really awesome really well balanced it
has this really epic kukri kind of shape to the blade yeah 10 inches full tang
construction excellent knife also comes with this really great plastic sheath
you might be familiar with the ration it's a it's a basically a spork tool
really compact small comes with a carabiner gate as well well now we've
got it in three awesome colors we've got it in Kermit the Frog green orange and
it's teal right here and this all these have a food-safe coating on them so
you'll be you'll be good to go with those now if those were a little bit too
small for you we've got the ration XL which is about two or three times as
long is those it might be you know if those are too small it might be a little
bit more usable especially if you're eating out of a mountain house bag or
you know something much larger and these come in just classic bead blast and that
same awesome Kermit the Frog alright moving right along this right
here is called the fault line it's new coming out new this year we've got eight
CR 13 MOV blade black oxide finish on it it opens with KBT so it's really smooth
you see how smooth that action is right there it's got awesome glass filled
nylon handles on here but what's really cool about this is this insert here the
neat thing about this insert is that we didn't just glue it
in what we did is it's part of the same mold so this is one piece
it's a two-shot mold which means that this isn't just gonna peel out this
should hold up pretty well yeah it just goes with the theme of the knife maybe
this knife is a workhorse right here it'll serve you really well so that's
the fault line all right up next we have the duo jet inspired by and named after
an amp it has this cadiz carbon fiber inlays right here which is something new
that we're doing this year with having inlays of carbon fiber opens with speed
safe grey PVD finish on the blade it has some really neat chamfers on here as
well if you look at the back you can see that it's a frame lock and has a deep
carry clip that's single position after that we've got the fringe it's a really
great size really comfortable for everyday carry it's also really really
thin and sleek really slim profile there and lightweight which is awesome again
we've got a carbon fiber inlay on that front handle scale and a really neat
stair-stepped rippling texture that goes down so that just kinda it feels good
when you hold it in your hand it's awesome it's a really great size and
shape very lightweight also speed safe with a great PVD finish after that we
have a knife called the outright it's got a blue PVD finish over the whole
knife it opens with speed safe which is really nice it's got really great action
on there another awesome thing about this knife is it's got a real g10
overlay on there so you know again as to that grip it has that upswept Persian
blade so it's kind of unique yeah and has like I said blue PVD over everything
Hardware blade back the clip everything we got a single position deep carry clip
as well frame lock opens with speed se moving along three ins answer this year
we've got two knives we have the tan fraction and the method both of these
knives are inset liner locks we but we worked with the ends and so on both of
these so if you're familiar with the fraction we did the same thing that we
did with the camp 10 we changed that black g10 to a tan g10 to give it kind
of a more maybe outdoor rug and maybe tactical tactical vibe and this has
carbon fiber on the top and what we did with several of these knives that have
carbon fiber as that overlay we have several layers of g10 the top layer is
carbon fiber and that's compressed together and then you take
that one piece and you machine away the carbon fiber so you can reveal the g10
underneath and what that means is that this isn't going to peel off it's not a
sticker it's real carbon fiber on top of that g10 so you get the carbon fiber
class but the g10 costs in price this has a black wash blade both of these
open on kvt ball bearing washers so you get a really smooth action this is the
method it has all g10 handle scales inset liner lock super lightweight knife
it's a really great knife especially for the price that it comes in at just
around $40 MSRP you also have in the back spacer this molded in lanyard loop
right here which is really awesome I feel like it's a I think it's a very
iconic a very characteristic element of IANS anthos designs so we're bringing
that through in this knife has a this upswept blade right here very unique
very easy to open and close on those KBT ball bearing washers all right after
that we have a Rick hinder of collaboration this is based off of his
custom the Maximus we're calling this the Decimus to keep in line with that
it's an epic knife you got to check this out
as a black wash blade 8 CR 13 MOV steel we've got a bayonet grind on here which
is something kind of unexpected but it fits the knife really well it has adds
that aggressive rugged tactical feel to this knife as you go down you can see it
has a dagger look but fortunately this the top part here is not sharp so you
don't have to worry about cutting yourself yeah and then we've got this
wonderful overlay on this that kind of gives it that rick hinder that rick
hinder kind of vibeand feel it's glass filled nylon overlay with a Hinderer inspired
texture we also have filler tabs and a clip on the back so it which is which
works on the front and the back and that also brings that Rick hinder vibe to
this knife we've got Stone wash scales opens with speed safe and is a frame
lock knife another great thing about this knife is that the finger guard of the
finger guard the cross guard here also works as the flipper with which you open
the knife so that's really awesome this is the Decimus that we worked on with
Rick hinder another collaboration that we did with RJ Martin is the fly through
this one has the iconic RJ see-through pivot there which is really great
because it's symmetrical both on the front
in the back is what you is what you've got there some very innovative iconic
just really different very different pivot than what you usually see one
thing I really like about this knife is it in this front scale here you can see
we have this this window this reveal in the blade Tang is actually shaped so
that it kind of it fits within that within that reveal it's just a nice
detail when it's closed you don't see it but then when you open the knife it's
just an added you know ii read detail that you get there it's really nice
there's beautiful Champaran on this on this these handle scales and you have a
two position clip you can put it on the front or on the back so it's it's
ambidextrous deep carry clip the whole knife it has a black oxide finish for a
really stealthy look so that's the fly through by RJ Martin so lastly for our
collaborator knives we have two that we've worked on with Demetri syncovich
Demetri has done some really excellent designs on the ZT side for us and we've
been really happy with that work so we wanted to bring it to mass-market make
it available to the everyday consumer so up first with that we have the Atmos
again opens on those KBT bulb ball bearing washers so super smooth action
they're really easy to get to that inset liner lock there to open and close the
knife it has a two-tone finish sanded flats with that satin finish on the
grind right there again we have that carbon fiber over the g10 which is
really a solid one-piece handle construction or the this handle scales
just we know one piece of the g10 and carbon fiber yeah and it's again the
inset liner lock this knife is very lightweight it's a really great size for
everyday carry all right now we have this might be my favorite one that we've
done this year this is called the concierge again this is a collaboration
with Demetri syncovich just an overall excellent knife this knife is all about
elegance and simplicity again it's a it's a pretty large knife but it doesn't
feel like it because of the shape and the design of the knife it has these
awesome g10 overlays this is real g10 on there and the way that it's been
contoured it's you can see it's pretty thick around the middle so you can get a
really a good grip on it been around the edges it's been contour so that it
doesn't feel blocky at all it feels really smooth again in really
simple and elegant simple pivots on the front and on the back and something also
really unique about this knife it has a recessed pocket clip this is something
that I hadn't seen before but this is based off a design that Dimitri's done
and it's really neat unique to the knife it's a little bit more low-profile and
so keeps that with that slimmer profile of the knife it works works well it's
just something that's really different and unique again this has 8 CR 13 MOV
steel with a gray PVD finish on the blade pivot and the scales and the
pocket clips this is the concierge so this year we're filling in the nature
it's family with like five or six new new installments so it's really awesome
we've got something for everybody here in a lot of different sizes and versions
different handle treatments so up first we've got the Big Brother so this right
here this is the nature X XL this is the big brother of the family g10 handle
scales black oxide finish on the blade this blade is 3.75 inches long so it's
the longest blade that we've got on the Kershaw side this year really
lightweight even though it's so big because of the g10 handle scales it
really doesn't feel that heavy we're able to get away with that because like
all the nature it's is we have the subframe lock patented subframe lock
here so you have the structural integrity of a frame lock but you can
use really interesting and lightweight materials for the handle this opens with
KBT and has black oxide hardware and a two-position clip that's also deep carry
so that's the nature XXL next up this is the carbon fiber natureís so you get
that awesome classy exciting flashy carbon fiber on
the top with the g10 handle scales that same thing I was talking about where you
have several layers of g10 the top layers of carbon fiber they're
compressed then the carbon fibers machined away so you get just a really
unique look to this knife we have gray PVD on the blade and the the pivot here
so it brings again that kind of that that simple vibe and a class classy look
to it again subframe lock on the back also with the gray PVD in the clip as
well that's the carbon fiber nature x now we've got the this is kind of the evil
twin of the of the nature it's wearing all black super stealthy
kind of tactical looking I guess in that regard
black nature x it's got a black oxide blade black everything on this knife
Hardware g10 the subframe lock in the clip it's a really good size opens with
KBT now this is really cool get ready for this we've got the copper
nature x so there's two really excellent things about this knife first off
obviously we have copper handle scales something totally new that we're doing
with this really interesting and again we can use copper because of the
patented subframe look that gives that strength and structural integrity of the
knife while allowing us to use a material that you ordinarily couldn't
use in a frame lock knife the second really awesome thing about this knife
even though it's really small we put d2 steel on this blade so it's a much you
know it's really good edge retention and it's a really excellent quality steel
that we're using on the blade of this knife so this is the copper nature x
there's kind of the baby brother of the family alright so lastly for the nature
it's family we have the 7777 quad seven bare knuckle this is the piece de
resistance in this family this is a USA made Kershaw knife we have a three and a
half inch blade stonewashed finish it's 14 C 28 inch steel and then we've got
that that classic USA Kershaw aluminum here it's just you know really really
amazing what's nice about this one too is that a lot of the Kershaw USA knives
that we do that are a value cursed by USA usually just have a flat handle
scale with that aluminum which looks great but this is even better because it
has you can see it's been kind of shaped machined and contoured just to give some
more interest to the knife a really cool pivot on here with that black oxide
finish as well as the hardware beautiful simple back spacer in the back and again
as you can see we're allowed we can use this aluminum here and get away with it
because we have that patented subframe lock it gives it the integrity of a
frame lock while using two awesome beautiful aluminum handle scales there
we've got a two position clip on this it opens with KBT for a really smooth
classy opening and again this is the usa-made which is really awesome
one last thing that I should have brought up earlier this year we've
created a custom pivot tool so for the fly through and for the 609 which I'll
get to in a minute they have a very interesting and very
different pivot on there which is a see-through pivot so occasionally you
know it's a great knife and it'd be a shame if you weren't able to you know
tighten it up and fine-tune it so we've developed a pretty good tool to do that
this is a custom pivot tool just for this the see-through pivot and the way
it works is there are these six pins that correspond with the six holes on
each side of this and you can stick it in on either side there and that allows
you when you turn it to fine tune the the tightness on that pivot there so
these knives are mean excellent knives and this will help you keep them in
shape it's made out of steel and that the pins are not you know they're not
dropped in there this is all one piece of steel it's been machined it's really
fun too they're held together by magnets alright so let's move on to the ZT first
off we've got another collaboration with Demetri syncovich this knife is
excellent it's 3.7 inches in blade in the blade length it's a massive knife
but it doesn't feel like it at all it only weighs 3.7 ounces in the way that
we've done that is that we have this front handle schedule here that is
carbon fiber with this awesome kind of red infused into that carbon fiber super
lightweight and on the back we have a titanium back handle scale and if you
can zoom in to catch this this is really neat we have I don't know if you can see
it or not in the video but we have a lot of machined pockets on the inside of
this back handle scale so which make it super lightweight we've also engraved
zero tolerance on there so this this knife right here is all about the hidden
details it's got a really unique Persian blade it's based off of Dimitri's Poli
Chokey design also similar to the 460 that we did it's a larger version of
that so the 460 was a little small for you this is the knife for you displayed
all of our ZT knives have CPM 20 CV steel this year which is really awesome
it's our top notch steel trying to bring you guys the best it's got a two-tone
finish satin on the grinds stone wash on the flipper and on the flats you flip it
over you can see we have a bit titanium clip which is really great it's got the
ZT logo engraved in there so it's all at all really really awesome knife that we
worked on with Demetri syncovich that's the 462
next up we've got a Rick hinder collaboration this is the 393 so a while
back we had a limited run of the 392 which was a really big hit so we wanted
to take that knife and make it more accessible to the everyday enthusiasts
so this right here is a 392 it's a little bit wider than the 393 and it's
got this awesome blade you got to check this out it's got a harpoon span tube
lid so it's a harpoon shape similar to what Rick has on one of his XM 18s but
it also has the span toe grind right here which is like a combination of a
spear tip knife and a tanto blade which is just really awesome super unique and
adds a lot of character to this knife if you go down we've got black DLC on the
flats there and satin on the grinds which really helps to show off that that
really unique grind we have blue anodized titanium which is awesome we're
finally bringing some more interesting color into the into the ZT line I think
it fits in really well with what we've got going on this is a custom Rick Tech
Rick hinderer texture on this overlay here which really helps you get a really
good grip on the knife it feels great g10 overlay it's just excellent overall
this knife really feels like a Rick Hinderer knife which I really like about
it it's got that gimping down here on the bottom that again brings that
characteristic home we've even gotten a filler tab in here so that when you flip
the clip you know you can have that feel or tab in there again that's something
that Rick does a lot on his knives and we're bringing that here to give you an
iconic Rick Hinderer collaboration so that's this one again
CPM 20 CV steel alright lastly from ZT this is my favorite one that we've got
this is an rj martin collaboration it's the 609 so similar to the the
392 and 393 a while back we made the 606 which was a really cool limited run but
it was just that it was a limited run so now we've got a production piece that
we've made a little bit smaller a little easier to carry every day it's got
excellent machining on it we did not hold back at all with this knife
CPM 20 CV steel opens with KBT so it's really smooth this also has that iconic
rj see-through pivot which is really nice with a polished finish on that and
the hardware as you go down the knife you can see this titanium handle scales
with a bronze anodized finish which just looks beautiful
again bringing some color into the ZT in the texture on here is definitely my
favorite part it's a really intricate texture that we have on the front and on
the back which is really nice so it looks good on the window and it also
looks good you know 360 degrees where however you look at it it's there it's
awesome the nice thing about this texturing though is it's not just
aesthetic it also really does give you a really good grip on this knife and it
really feels excellent when you hold it in your hand
it's an ergonomic knife it's also really you know organic and excellent also has
a two-position clip as you can see on the back there with zero tolerance
engraved in there this is a frame lock something that we do with all of our
frame op knives that's really really nice and really excellent is we have a
lock puck in there so if you have titanium eventually after a while it
will wear on the back of that blade tank and it'll get gummy and sticky and just
it won't work as well so what we do is we take a steel lock puck and we put it
in there so that it's steel on steel which means that basically you get
longer better use out of this knife and we've got that on all three of our frame
lock knives that's just it's something that we do to give you better longevity
in the products that you buy from us so that's what we've got from ZT this year
