Looks like they are already released. Not the prices I was hoping for, but still cool.

I've seen the brass and copper ones before, had not seen the kit and giant. As cap SAID THE PRICES ARE A LITTLE INCONVENIENT, not terrible but a little higher then expected indeed.

None for me, thank you. The brass and the giant are pretty and the HD seems nice too, but the locking system is too iffy for me. With the Giant I could chop off my arm... I don't even know how you could lock that thing.... one hand to hold the blade steady and one hand to guide the knife?

What locking system? They are friction folders and do not lock.

Yeah, that's my point  :D Just failing at English.
I don't mind regular Slipjoints with backsprings like the SAKs and the American Traddies but Svords are too scary to use... having to always hold the back of the blade so doesn't fold on you? No thanks... I haven't seen something as scary since the Kershaw ET.
And yes I know this is an old proven pattern, but not for me. My only Svord stays there in the shelf looking pretty. I think it is the last knife I'd use for any task requiring at least a bit of effort/pushing on the blade...

It's a pretty shelf... with glass and soon LEDs and is accompanied by sexy frenchies and spaniards  :D

That looks like a nice little blade.
But is it too small to be able to hold down the blade with your palm? :think:
