10/21: Earlier this week, ZeroFeud dropped their 2024 fall beads. The McGoblin Orange, McBoo White, and McWitch Green all come in three size options (small, medium, and large). All the beads are cerakote 6061 aluminum and $22. Unfortunately, our personal favorite and unethically sourced, Brain Juice Can Bead, sold out earlier in the week. All other beads save for the Large McGoblin Orange are still in stock at the time of this writing.

10/21: Our good friend Zac in the Wild and Civivi launched the much-awaited and award-winning Yonder. The first knife design from Zac, this knife is exactly what you’d expect from our well-read, hard-working, adventuring friend. With a 14C28N spey-style blade, crossbar lock (a first for Civivi), and a full-grip handle, it’s the perfect adventure knife. These are available at Civivi, BladeHQ, SMKW, and all your favorite dealers now in three configs.

10/23: As you may recall, Josh from Primitive Woodsman lost his shop to a landslide due to Hurricane Helene. To make the best of a bad situation, Primitive Woodsman and Ridgerunner Blades teamed up to do an exclusive run of the Foxfire called the Foxfire LANDSLIDE. This is one of the only knives Josh can make at the moment. He even pulled the rubber he’s using for the handles from the rubble of his shop. This is being run as a presale and is expected to ship in early December.

10/25: SPK Unlimited will have a very limited drop of the elusive Lamia today at noon EDT. There are just 20 pieces available for $850 a pop—first come, first serve. This drop is a blacked-out Lamia with plain titanium hardware, a black electro-coated titanium handle, and a random etch 135-layer martensitic Alleima Damax blade. These will also ship with Skiff bearings.

10/25: Knife Standards is restocking the RR3 in Vanax SuperClean, an extremely corrosion-resistant blade steel. The RR3 is the smallest knife design from Knife Standards and the first liner lock. It’s a sleek little folder with perks like a reversible deep carry wire clip, dual thumb studs, and a front flipper. It also features some sleek design choices like a decorative captive pivot, angular contouring on the handles, and thin fat carbon fiber inlays.

10/26-10/27: The California Custom Knife Show (CCKS), hosted by Recon1, is taking place this weekend in Woodland Hills, CA. This knife show might be smaller than Blade Show in volume, but it’s a who’s who in the knife game with heavy hitters like Borka Blades, Shirogorov, and Chris Reeve Knives in attendance. While the show officially starts tomorrow, the Friday Night Blade Affair kicks off tonight with lotteries and open-bid auctions for some incredibly special pieces.

10/25: Arcane Design is dropping the latest variation of The CREATURE, the Bronze Age. Offered in 20CV steel and either belt satin or PVD finishes, the CREATURE will be available with either an American Compound Tanto or Drop Point blade. The product pages are already live, so you can check all the technical specs for each model. These land today at 3 pm EDT and will be priced at $355.

10/28: Tons of knife models from Pro-Tech Knives are landing at dealers starting this week. To name a few, the Mordax, TR-2, TR-3 (Integrity and auto), TR-4, TR-5, Godson, and Halfbreed are landing in fairly standard configurations. However, more special editions are also arriving, such as the 25th Anniversary edition Runt 5, 2024 ATCF Custom with maple burl inlays and Mike Irie hand-ground mirror polished spear point blade, and a “Since 1999” NEXUS Malibu in Al-Bronze with a mosaic button.

10/28: Nitecore is set to release its latest EDC flashlight, the EDC23. Not much is known about this smaller cousin to the EDC27 and EDC29 other than it has the same rectangular styling as the larger lights, a max lumen output of 2500 lumens with a UHi LED, and the same dual tail switch. It’s also likely USB-C rechargeable and features an OLED real-time display. These drop on Monday, but no pricing has been made official.

10/29: In collaboration with renowned designer Jared Oeser, Tactile Knife Co will release its second slip joint knife, The Ranger, next Tuesday. The Ranger boasts a 3.15” (80 mm) MagnaCut bowie-style blade, a natural micarta shield, and titanium hardware and handles. It’s a perfect blend of modern and traditional. Having carried one myself, it’s clear that Tactile Knife Co is stepping up its game with each new release. The Ranger will be $349 at launch.

10/31: Null Knives is holding a Halloween drop on Thursday at 1 pm EDT. Included in this drop are a restock of the Copper Voodoos, a new Bronze Ghoul, and Arctic Storm Raikous.
