(SHOT Show 2022 Presented by KnifeCenter) Hey everyone, David C. Andersen from the
KnifeCenter coming at you from SHOT Show 22 here in Las Vegas at the Revo booth. How are
you my friend? Good, man. Thanks. So good to see you again, sir. Good. Good to see you got some
cool products to check out? Oh, sure. Take it away. What are we? Yeah,
let's start with what's new, basically, real quick, we'll go through them all.
One of our newest models is the Vipera XL, which we had a smaller two inch version of this that
was really popular, and that we decided to increase it a little bit larger. So it's
now a three inch knife, but it's also a spring assist flipper. The handles and scale and the
handles scales and backspace are all injection molded nylon. So we're even asking why. Yeah,
right. And we're keeping that price point really nice for the value of it where you know,
the MSRP is 55 but we're gonna be able to see that in the source probably at that like 44 $45 mark
for the money. You know, I feel like we're gonna get a lot of traction with that knife for sure.
And materials 8CR stainless blade stonewash. Yeah,
little fine jumping on the thumb ramp there. Yep, flipper, like I said, and
ergonomics are big with us. We definitely like it to feel good in the hand.
I was just getting ready to talk about that handle. Yeah, it's a good shape. You got width
there. So you've got that full grip. Yeah. So if you need a shorter knife that you can really
have a good grip on if you like you can push it hard. agree that's got it there. I say
deep carry clip. reversible. No single position verse. Yes. But deep
carry for sure. Yeah, the great. The gray, black, orange, green and blue.
And then we also have a tanto version. Oh, cool. We have the tanto blade in there.
Yeah, it's gonna work really well. Yeah. Compound grinds hollow and flat there at the tip,
sir. Very good thing else about the knife is the same.
Yeah, yeah, just what you want it sir. Cool, very good.
Put that down here then, kind of our flagship folder has been the Ness has been really good
for us in a lot of ways. Definitely my favorite for exam mine too, you know, a lot of people's for
that matter. But so in that, for that reason, we basically took the Ness and revitalize it a little
bit didn't change much other than adding some some color. And we had we ended up doing like an acid
blade as well. So we've got a different finish on the blade and liners and everything along those
lines orangey 10, brown, g 10. And then we went a little bit big time with a copper scale billet
copper scale, and then out of Crown micarta scale. And the other big change with it with this ness is
the skeletonized liners. So the lightness that you're going to feel is already a fairly light
night for the size. But now with that micarta and the G 10. In particular, they're really light.
I see also, it looks like you revised the pocket clip here a little bit we
did good point. Thank you, we, we you know the hardest thing with any folding knife in
your pocket is catching it on something your seatbelt, your couch or whatever,
and twin that clip out. So we decided to shorten that down a little bit because the
previous one was really a little longer for sure. So shorter, so less catchy
technical term. And then it's also left and right carry now where they previous
Ness was only right side carry so we're getting that taken care of for everyone
some nice versions. Now speaking of those previous versions are these they're gonna stay
as is are you guys gonna kind of ever as it as the next run comes kind of roll out the changes.
Yep, everything's gonna be an inline change. So it's like
black and gray and those other colors green, like sell out. Yeah, as they are then they'll
be replaced with red to basically or like in line change what we're talking about right now.
Fantastic. I mean, it's a great shape. Like no one not enough people do a folding nessmuk
They're coming though I see a few out there but I'm telling you like their
shape is on the money though. It's so nice. Ball Bearings D2
great little knife. Yeah, great carry peace. food prep, EDC, Hunting, can't
say enough do it all Yeah, we're done.
Oh god here but these guys know I love nessmuk But you know, now they definitely that's
one of the next one real quick is a re re up on the Recoil, which is our original knife was Recoil
was the first knife we ever designed. It was a frame lock steel handles ball bearings, you know
a little heavy but it really is about getting your hands out of the way for the cutting. It's
a solid utility pushing knights a work yeah, it's a one night
it's got big oversized thumb disks for gloved hands. But you know,
we listen to our customers and we're always trying to do the best we can. So we have G 10,
front and back. And a real nice thick liner setup. But again, our assist open on everything. And we
also have left and right deep carry clip. So those are the main changes for this new recoil.
I've always liked this knife because it's hard to create a knife that looks different while
still be useful. Green and this is one of it's not just different for no reason
for the sake of being different, right? Yeah, yeah, I mean the pistol grip kind of
angle down on it. Let's use that tip really great against any kind of surface.
That kind of model five sheets woody blade got utility written all over.
Yep, it's got a lot of blade steel at the tip too. So you can actually like,
you know, I don't recommend Brian with a knife ever, but it's a work knife. Yeah.
And then 1.1 thing to point out too is the texture on this handle scale is,
you know, it's based on a slide from like a pistol. But really what it's about is when
you're pulling it out of your pocket. If your loved again, you got texture there,
you're gonna grab that out every time. Yeah, not gonna slide around or anything weird like that.
So very nice. Very nice. Yeah.
And then real quick into the warden. Probably the sleekest knife that we currently make. The warden
was the second knife we ever brought to market. The big thing on this is we moved away from the
thumb stud and move to a flipper. Assist open G 10. Front and back. deep carry pocket clip
left and right. Nine CR blade seal nice thick liners on that.
You know, again, it's the warden is a very classic looking knife. It's it's simple,
but it's meant to be this pocket. It's a fun guy. Yeah, it's it's fast opening. It's easy to work.
It's pocket knife to do pocket knife things.
Yes, sir. I open a lot of Amazon boxes.
Don't we all? Yeah, yeah, pick on that is really good. It
is for sure that we added the tanto. Yeah, yeah. So really nice.
So about a three to quarter inch blade on those actually. 3.25.
Nice. my eyeball ruler hasn't failed me this time.
Then we've talked about these before the duo, you know, we wanted to make
a little bit extra functionality in a pocket knife. So we made a knife first. But we actually
added an auxiliary cutting tool. Yeah. So again, this is a flipper that comes in the
tanto you see here at sheepsfoot. And also a drop point. That's gonna be the other time.
There should be a drop point. Yep. And then the next
one is a sheepsfoot. These are some colorways that you can see. Very nice.
We also have an OD green inlay on the on the acid finish there.
I like the annodized aluminum on the back.
Yeah, that's gonna go on this one with the blue here. And then on the other ones,
we're doing a black sheet 10 Just to kind of make it look nice and pretty.
So the multi tool functionality comes in right next to that. Yep. Yeah. So
it's just a nail Nick, but you can pull it out here and again. So the multi tool is here.
I literally opened Amazon packages like a little padded envelopes like this thing.
Yeah, yeah. Perfect for that.
But you'd be right on that like heavy plastic. Yep, clam packs. I'm
saving my blade. I don't have to get my blade all taped up and gummy like yes, use this little tool.
And then also it's it actually works in the bottle opener. I've got a slotted driver,
scraper. You know, if you'd like to guards like we talked about earlier,
I can put this down and put my cigar on and it keeps the lip off the
little chopsticks Dan Yeah, restaurant
Exactly. Like it's a multi tool. But one thing to point out with this tool,
is it liner. It's a liner lock. So when I open this and I'm actually using this like
a slotted drive, because it's not holding on me or causing me to move around. It
locks open. So when I want to close it, I have to hit the little liner release. And it closes shut.
Very nice. Yet I still got a fully functional, you know, flipper knife.
Yeah, I mean, it's if you didn't know it was there. It's just a
classic pocket knife. Again, same kind of thing. And that
new monitoring clip that we're dealing with a shorter clip left and right.
You know, pretty simple, but again, that's quite scary. So it's not we need to overdo it.
So thank you. Yeah, those are really cool, eager to see those. Hopefully soon.
They are they should be here within probably a month, they'll be they'll be out. So fantastic.
Then real quick, this couple of new fixed blades that are coming in the RJ two and three
195, MSRP, 165 MSRP, everything will have street prices, you know well below that. But
we're looking forward to these big guys, we've had an event we've had an out for a while but
we just finally have the orders coming in for them kydex sheets across the board,
they have the same journey series mount ability with the with the sheets, you can mount the small,
the small companion to this guy, you can mount the classic RJ one to this guy and you can just carry
however you want. And that's definitely something we thought about the beginning because everyone
wants to be customizable and do what's right for them. And the whole journey line is about
making it your mission you know, making it your experience getting out there and living
in Colorado. Like we're all about getting outside and having the tools we want when we go where
we want. Well, yeah, when you when you've got that at your disposal,
get out out into the world. I like
to do a lot of r&d. That's true. Yeah.
Which is great because then it's a write off.
That's true, isn't it? I'm kidding.
Yeah, this guy is really impressive to like, again another
different blade shape that is not just different to be different. Yes,
you can get up there deep it's 316 blades sock so I mean it will do anything. The
hardware on the handles is meant for lashing or fastening to have you know piece of wood you
got a Bachelor's there. Exactly. I like it tapered down one
side of the exposed Tang there to get a little more
concentration and a little bit of prying perhaps on depending on what you're trying to pry into.
Exactly. Dig it. Usually you can just like smash it with that knife. It's so massive big guys like
you and me. Yes, of course. The other thing that sighs with that knife is it's eye catching So,
you know, for our, for our customers and our dealers out there, they can put that knife
up on the stand. And people are like, what is that? And then they'll look at all these other
beautiful knives and they'll they'll usually pick one up. You know, maybe they'll pick that up too,
when it's something that makes them stop. It's the halo draws, man. Exactly. Very
cool. And then super fast for you guys. I just wanted to touch base on the Nexus,
which we did reveal last year at blade show. But we're excited because we're actually going
in and production manufacturing this ourselves in Colorado, our factory is ready to rock and we're
going to be turning on these things starting next week after show awesome this prototype is a little
worse for wear. But well, what do we I personally dropped this on this concrete floor
a dozen times just today. So you know, definitely take a look at it. But understand that this was
a production sample. And we had everybody who you know, flipping this thing at the
booth we had there and it's it's got a lot of good praise, and we're gonna make it the best knife we
can and the MSRP on this is going to be 215 for the raw version. That's called the Revo Nexus.
You didn't mention that. Yeah,
you're good 215 is the MSRP I think we'll see that street value around 179
184. Somewhere in there. Yeah. 7075 handle skills, ball bearings. You know,
it'll be TT eight torque screws on here for the hardware. Yeah, AEBL blades blade steel, who so
we're taking my language, we're definitely making it something nice. You know, we want it to be
approachable for the masses, but we want to make it a the best knife again,
Rico is Montra for the money. We want to be the best knife we can for the month
here. Awesome. Very, very cool.
Well, that's all we have on the table right now. If you want to check these out,
there will be links in the description take you over to our repo page. Some of this stuff may be
