Case V-42 Revisited

Case was the exclusive maker of the original V-42 Stiletto, one of the most recognizable of all military fighting knives, which was issued to members of the world’s first special service force (FSSF) in 1942. This Canadian-American collaboration was regarded as one of the fiercest fighting teams during the war, earning the title, “The Devil’s Brigade”. The knife’s historic value, along with a short production window of approximately 3,700 pieces, and subjected use during World War II has made an original V-42 one of the most coveted of all knife finds. Case has spent years researching and developing this new V-42 reproduction to make it as authentic as the original in every regard. The new Case V-42 is destined to become the new standard by which all future military reproductions will be judged. See it at Booth #13905.

Benchmade 2015 SHOT Show Knife

Benchmade 615BK-1501

Benchmade has begun to release their special limited 2015 SHOT Show knife and it has landed on the shelves here at BladeOps. Check out this beauty–an AXIS-Lock Mini Rukus with an S30V blade and green G10 handle scales.

My favorite feature of this fantastic knife is the handle shape. Built with finger grooves that lock your hand into a solid, secure grip that will absolutely delight serious knife users, the Mini Rukus gives you a solid tactical knife that is built just right.

The AXIS lock system keeps the black finished S30V blade locked open. To release, just pull the ambidextrous AXIS system with your thumb and the blade releases. The G10 handle scales will endure heavy, hard use and won’t lose performance in wet conditions.

I’m sure you have some fantastic goals for yourself during 2015. Celebrate the New Year with a new, limited edition knife from Benchmade. Get this special Mini Rukus here. And then get out there and get your stuff done.

Today Queen announced the new line up for 2015 and BOY HOWDY are there some nice patterns and scales. You can see it in the Queen Group or on the Queen site

Ready for a preview? How about a split back whittler?

Rather see a fixed blade?
