1st Look - 2014 Quartermaster Roper EDC Knives

 The new 2014 Mr. Roper Knives by Quartermaster Knives are QTRM5TR's latest forey into the genre of EDC Knives.  
The Roper knife series are available in your choice of Tanto or clip point blade styles. 

Modeled after Warren Thomas' timeless 2.5 design, the QTRM5TR QSE-6TT is a titanium frame lock folder that is Quartermaster's new "King of EDC." Mr. Roper is their lightest, most pocket friendly design to date and it's a pleasure to hold and to carry.

Jared West, founder of Quartermaster Knives, names his knives after characters on popular TV series from his youth. Since this series only has three models, they got named after Roper Tanto, Mr. Roper and Mr. Furley. 


The 3.0" blade is a functional shape and the slim Titanium handle is very comfortable in the hand. 
Quartermaster Knives hope with this new take on a classic design is to shed light on QTRM5TR's legitimacy as a producer of fine cutlery for all applications, not just "hard-use."

The handle edges have been beveled for added comfort in hand and it rides comfortable in the pocket with the tip up pocket clip orientation.

Watch our youtube review of the QTRM5TR Mr. Roper Tanto Knife.

Watch our youtube review of the QTRM5TR Rubbed Roper Knife.
Overall, the Roper knives are solid, well-built EDC knives that are so lightweight you'll want to carry them everyday.  The price point is excellent, especially considering that these knives are made in the USA and have solid titanium handles and premium CPM-154 blades.

The Quartermaster Roper Knives are produced in extremely limited quantities, those who wait too long will miss the opportunity of owning one of these super knives!

2014 Burnley Obake Fixed Blade by CRKT

Custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley designed the Obake Fixed Blade knife for Columbia River (CRKT). It's a remarkably thin profile fixed blade Kwaiken style design that's easy to carry and conceal.
It includes a belt loop that can be attached to the sheath. The sturdy polymer sheath has a lanyard with a skull bead on it--a nice touch. The handle is cord wrapped over good looking ray skin for a secure solid grip that feels just right. 
The blade features an etched pattern that further enhances the handsome looks of this knife. Lucas produces similar knives on a custom basis but the CRKT Obake is a super deal! The Obake makes an excellent EDC fixed blade... it's thin, light, nicely made and priced for just about every budget. All of us at OsoGrandeKnives really dig this knife!


The Obake by Lucas Burnley is bold. It's a throwback to a classic Japanese Kwaiken design that's ready to throw down, if trouble turns up. The distinctive blade of this full tang fixed blade knife has a gray titanium nitride finish that is acid etched to give it a unique pattern that will be exclusive to each fortunate owner. The handle has a katana style nylon cord wrap over a black faux ray skin.


The sheath of the Obake is made from glass filled nylon that will give consistent retention even in hot environments. A paracord lanyard on the sheath is designed to attach to your belt loop and keep the sheath in place when you deploy the knife. A skull bead adds a not-so-subtle accent to the paracord lanyard.


This small fixed blade knife comes with a sturdy belt carry system and hardware that attaches to the grommets on the sheath.


The Obake isn't looking for work, but it shows up looking like a boss when it's time to get a job done. Check em' out!

2014 Spyderco Manix2 CPM Cru-Wear Sprint Knife

The 2014 Spyderco Manix2 Sprint features the supercharged CPM Cru-Wear blade steel.

The high performance CPM® CRU-WEAR® steel is an air-hardened powdered metallurgy tool steel. Crucible's original smelted-produced CRU-WEAR® was created as an upgrade to A2 and D2 tool steels, both have earned longevity and respect in the cutlery business for their wear resistance and tough cutting performance.

The powder produced CPM® CRU-WEAR® blade steel offers even greater wear resistance and toughness than A2, D2 and M2. Through powdered steel technology, the steel is made easier to machine with improved resistance to chipping over the original smelted CRU-WEAR®. The powdered variety also attains a higher hardness factor through greater percentages of tungsten and molybdenum that result in a secondary hardening response.


Another unique feature of the Manix 2 Sprint if it's gray diamond pattern G10 handle scales. G-10 is extremely durable and the fine checkered texturing provides an excellent grip while the handsome diamond pattern clearly sets this knife apart from standard production versions of the Manix2 which enhances it's status as both a functional tool and a highly prized collector's item.

The Cru-Wear Manix is a limited edition sprint run and it is only available while supplies last!

SMOKIN' HOT are the words for the new Lucas Burnley Kwaiken folding knife design for Boker Plus and it's set on simmer at OsoGrandeKnives.
The Kwaiken Folding Knife, a design of young knifemaker Lucas Burnley from New Mexico, was created after a long period of development.

The green canvas Micarta scales offer a superior grip without being unnecessarily rough. The slim and sleek blade is made of AUS-8 stainless steel, and performs extremely smoothly due to the IKBS bearings
This knife will surely prove that a slim handle doesn't have to compromise excellent ergonomics! Includes removable pocket clip.
