Kershaw 1678 Camber Folding Knife with SpeedSafe
The new 2014 Camber assisted opening knife from Kershaw (model 1678) features a high performance CPM-S30V stainless steel blade with a stonewash finish and a handy flipper. The handle on the Kershaw Camber is very similar to the much loved Kershaw Blur which is made of 6061-T6 aluminum with Trac-Tec inserts. This is one cool knife with super-fast Speedsafe spring assisted opening and a liner lock that locks the blade securely open when in use.
While we are big fans of the Kershaw Blur we like the new Kershaw Camber knife even better because of the convenient flipper opening mechanism. The new Camber folder is one of our top choices for an everyday carry (EDC) knife. The Camber has Kershaw's famous fit and finish and it's made in the USA. Grab yours today at www.OsoGrandeKnives.com.

Kershaw Freefall Spring Assisted Knife 3840
The Kershaw FreeFall knife features a tactically styled blade and a palm-gripping, ergonomic handle. The blade is a modified tanto with a hollow-ground and slightly curved belly for versatile cutting. The tanto tip is flat-ground for strength. 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with an easy-care stonewashed finish provides high performance at an affordable price.
The handle is contoured to fit the palm and is partially embossed with Kershaw's new K-Texture™ grip for an extra secure hold. Heavy jimping on the blade spine and on the lower part of the backspacer add to the gripping power of this handsome knife. The backspacer has a built-in lanyard hole that's wide enough to accommodate thicker lanyards.
The FreeFall Knife also has a reversible and adjustable deep-carry clip. A screw on the knife butt enables you to mount the clip for left- or right-handed carry. Combined with tactical styling and a comfortable hand-fit, the FreeFall is an easy choice for tough piercing tasks as well as for every day carry.
Check them out at OsoGrandeKnives.com.

Kershaw 1870 Knockout Assisted Opener, 3.25 Inch PlainEdge Blade, Textured G10 Handles
This slick, slim profile EDC folder is a Knockout in more ways than one! The Knockout looks great, but the reason it bears this name is because Kershaw has "knocked out" a piece of the G-10 handle and inset a stainless-steel plate to create a frame lock that they're calling a Sub-Frame Lock® You get the lightweight benefits of anodized aluminum handles and the strength of a steel frame lock with integral lockbar stabilization. The Knockout also features SpeedSafe® assisted opening. It's equipped with Kershaw's new deep-carry clip and is drilled for quad-carry: tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed. Made in the USA.
Specifications:
- Steel: Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel
- Handle: Machined G-10
- Blade Length: 3 1/4-in. (8.3 cm)
- Closed Length: 4 5/8 in. (14.3 cm)
- Overall Length: 7 7/8- in. (20 cm)
- SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening
- Thumb Stud
- Pocket Clip
- Sub-Frame Lock
- Flipper
- Made in USA

Kershaw Echelon Assisted Opening Folder
Just In! Designed for great looks and solid performance, the Echelon features SpeedSafe® assisted opening and opens with a thumbstud that seems to float on air--hovering in the middle of an over-sized blade cutout. To add to the airy feeling, Kershaw used natural G-10 to create a semi-translucent handle that allows you to see the operation of the SpeedSafe® mechanism inside. The Echelon also features Kershaw's Inset Liner Lock and new reversible deep-carry pocketclip for discreet pocket carry. Made in the USA.
About the Inset Liner Lock... To build an Inset Liner Lock, Kershaw insets a strip of steel inside a knife's handle--most commonly when the handle is G-10. Insetting the lock in this way enables them to create a slimmer knife, while still providing the strength and security of a locking liner.

CRKT Ken Onion Ripple
CRKT and knife designer Ken Onion's first collaboration together is the Ripple K405 folding knife series. This knife is noteworthy for its exceptional manufacturing quality, premium stainless steel build, plus an almost unbelievable silky smooth and fast opening action thanks to the use of the IKBS internal knife ball-bearing system.
The modified drop point blade has a high hollow grind, swedged top edge, and a high satin finish. Steel is premium Acuto, stainless, noted for its high chromium and molybdenum content and hardness of 59-60 HRC. It is instantly opened by pressing the blade flipper with either hand. For safety while closed, the blade has a ball detent.
Even the best conventional blade pivot bearings have some degree of friction which resists initial movement, or "stiction." In contrast, the Ripple blade opening action is almost friction-free due to the IKBS ball-bearing system. This innovative and simple design places eight uncaged ball bearings on each side of the blade pivot in races which are machined into the stainless steel handle. It is compact and adjustable at the blade pivot screw if ever needed. Not only is opening and closing exceptionally smooth, the IKBS system is durable and requires little maintenance, and yields a folder with great rigidity and no blade play.
The Ripple K405 model is an open build frame lock knife with stainless steel frames. In typical Ken Onion attention to detail, the frame lock does not create an unsightly gap in the right frame, but its cut is neatly integrated into the grip design of the frame, which is CNC machined with a complex "ripple" textured pattern plus 44 small lightening holes. The Ripple K405BXP receives a blue titanium nitride coating, which is then hand buffed to give a pocket worn look, that is to lightly reveal the underlying stainless steel on the high points. Features a removable stainless steel mirror-polished pocket clip (tip-down), high-mounted, and also with small CNC-drilled holes.Check them out at OsoGrandeKnives.com.

The blade is matched with Ranger Green G-10 scales, 3-D machined to provide a secure grip. A 3/8-inch hex head pivot shaft nut makes field adjustments possible with minimal tools.
