10/29: In collaboration with renowned designer Jared Oeser, Tactile Knife Co released its second slip joint knife, The Ranger. It boasts a 3.15” (80 mm) MagnaCut bowie-style blade, a Westinghouse 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 set you back $349.

11/29: Here at Carry Commission, we restocked the Olive Pueblo version of our most popular wallet, the Rustic Heirloom Hitchhiker. This has been my go-to wallet for over two years and they’re typically pretty hard to get. So if you’ve been in the market for a Hitchhiker, now is your chance. There are just a few left in stock. Grab one while they last.

10/29: Just in time for Halloween, WESN dropped the Blacked Out Bornas in a limited quantity on its site. Previously, that version of the small fixed blade had only been available via Kickstarter. The Bornas, featuring a 2.75” (70 mm) S35VN blade, ships with a kydex sheath, is made in Sweden, and will set you back $225. If you’re not a fan of the blacked-out look, the Bornas is also currently available in Rosewood or Curly Birch.

10/31: Null Knives held a Halloween drop on Thursday at 1 pm EDT. This drop was a restock of the Copper Voodoos, a new Bronze Ghoul, and Arctic Storm Raikous. At the time of writing, the Voodoos, Ghouls, and Raikous are in stock. However, the damasteel Raikous are sold out.

10/31: TKell Knives introduced two new knives in its Operator Series, the Ops-Hawk and Ops-Striker. Preorders for these two knives are open and they’re expected to ship in three to six months after purchase. These are based on existing versions of the Nighthawk and Striker, but with extended handles and other input from Tier 1 Operators. The preorder for either knife also lets you choose blade steel, handle config, hardware color, and more. Both knives will set you back $325.

10/31: Benchmade added one of its classics, the Griptilian and Griptilian Mini, to the Customizer. The Customizer brings several bright colors to the Griptilian, like Orange, Yellow, and Neon Green, as well as more subdued colors like Olive Green, Desert Tan, or Carbon Fiber. You can also customize the blade (shape, steel, and finish) and all of the hardware colors for a Grip that’s truly yours.

11/1: Knafs is releasing a Lander 2 Clip Point today with a gold thumb stud, polished hardware, and a paper micarta handle. Like the original, it still features an S35VN blade steel and Clutch Lock, but it harkens back to knives of yore with the more traditional blade shape. These are available at noon EDT today. Grab one while they last and make your grandpa proud.

11/1: Big Idea Design is kicking off November proper with its Black Friday sale, which will run from today until Cyber Monday. Just use code BLACKFRIDAY24 at checkout for 20% off your entire order, sitewide. They’re also throwing in free shipping. I hear if you spend enough during the Black Friday sale, Brantley will come to your house and personally tuck you in and read you a bedtime story. There’s an announcement video on the Big Idea Design YouTube channel. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

11/1: OEG EDC is retiring the Marion, his first fixed blade design, tonight. This will be the final drop of the small fixed blade. Several configs will be available, including the option of a drop point or sheepsfoot blade, both in MagnaCut steel with a 2.4” (61 mm) blade length. The Marion also comes with a kydex sheath and an UltiClip pre-installed. While this is Marion's final drop, Eddie says there will be a few collabs to finalize the design send-off.

11/3: Daily Customs is releasing their best-selling product, the Boker-made AK1, in CPM MagnaCut with two different blade shapes, Reverse Tanto and American Tanto. The MagnaCut AK1 will set you back $173.75 (€160) as a skeletonized knife but you can purchase handle scales and a kydex or leather sheath separately. Also, for the first time, the American Tanto will come with a reversible lanyard tab.

11/7: Vero Engineering is releasing the Isotope Mini next Thursday at 11 am EDT. Like the original Isotope, the mini is an integral design (the handle is one solid piece of milled titanium) with a handful of inlay options. The blade on the Isotope Mini is a 3.45” (87.6 mm) drop point high flat grind in M390 steel with two opening options: an inline flipper tab and a milled pocket on the reverse side of the blade. If you’re hoping to fancy it up on an already fancy knife, there will be damasteel options at launch.
