CRKT is a great company to work with.  I'm looking forward to test driving some of the new stuff.

Thanks Grathr. 
I am very interested in the JV series especially looking forward to the batum,  batum compact,  noma and pilar. I got the amicus last year and it  serves me really well despite some imperfection  on finishing.

I like the Homefront, field-strip knives. The hunter has a great blade shape too. Sadly I don't like the look of the handle it could be a bit more cheerful .

I have been wanting a Homefront since I first saw one, but they are pricey. I havent been able to find one at the right price, that will ship over here.
The GFRN version looks promising (and cheaper ).

Same here, those designs are cool and the prices are right. My only problem is that a lot of CRKT knives are a bit on the heavy side. I prefer something between 3 and 4 ounces, whereas a lot of their knives are 4.5oz and higher.

I assume the field strip mechanism adds to manufacturing costs, plus it's new and different, so I think CRKT is justified in asking more for it. That said, I can't personally justify spending that much for it, because I don't really need it that badly. Unfortunately the new, cheaper versions are using 1.4116 steel at 55-57 HRC which IIRC is comparable to what Victorinox uses. It's fine on a SAK, but I like my dedicated knives to use a steel with a bit more wear resistance, especially at that price.

I don't need a knife that can be field-stripped, but I like the idea behind it. Honestly, if it were prettier (in my eyes) I would buy it and not worry about the price. I have several totally overpriced knifes, what is one more
