Sounds like Milwaukee will be releasing a series of EDC knives late 2015 or early 2016. Blades made of D2 and either BO'd or DLC'd for corrosion resistance. Also, a FastBack III that has a revised handle shape and storage for up to 4 extra blades. Toolguyd also has a pic of a FastBack with camo handles. Finally, TG mentions that he thinks he spotted a compact Fastback and indeed the video below shows what appears to be just that. See below and look closely at the middle row of tools, it's folded up next to a camo handled knife.



I recently got a FastBack and absolutely love it - thanks to Chako for enlightening me, lol. My only complaint would be that it's a little too large to EDC (yes I've been EDCing a utility knife) so the potential for a compact has me excited. Not sure if the compact IS actually a utility knife or just a normal knife. But it looks like it is though

I found a couple more videos that actually show the new products of a bit. The Compact definitely looks more EDC friendly. It also sounds like the FBIII has a couple of different, intermediate lock angles for the knife.



The host is a little annoying in this one, but a better, close-up look at the products.

Yea, I do too. I'm a big Milwaukee believer. I've used their power tools for a long time. The new EDCs look stout! Check out the MEGA liner-locks on those things.
