Pikal 260 and CT-Pikal 250 are up on his website watson-knives.com

Get them while they last. I had a hard time not ordering both.

Great minds think alike, I was just about to post the same.

I succumbed to temptation and got one of each.

Joe Watson mentioned on his Facebook page that some single edge Kidons and Magnis will be available as well, though they haven't shown up yet.

I got a Ti magnis, great little knife. I love a steel version.

You'd be very happy with the steel version, I know I really like mine.

Not Magnis, but Monkey Edge has a couple of other Watson knives: http://www.monkeyedge.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=watson.

That's a shame but the CT is really nice pure pocket knife.

I grabbed a CT. Been looking for one of these for a while.

For reference, I had a Magni and ended up selling it. Much like the Glock finger grooves, I found that the handle shape of the Magni was hit or miss and it did not work well for my hands. If I found that I needed another blade in that size range, I would go with the Kidon over the Magni.

I ordered a Kidon tonight. I already own a Magni. Perhaps a CT sometime in the future.

Titanium sheath clip. They seem to be the darling of Instagram/Facebook knife nuts.

Yeah - these rolling releases are killing me. @cookiemonster - can you not make the drop? If I'm able, do you want me to pick up an extra for you?

I love you folks on PF. I think I will be at my computer on work, unsure but really I need to save up some more bones and my wife and I got some other goals we are pursuing. Next six months I’ll get a pile in order to hit up a release.

Hmm, they look well made and the design seems solid. Not really useful for me but I hope it works great for you.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I wasn't going to get any but with that time frame, I wouldn't be able to even if I wanted to.

Not a problem. If you change your mind, let me know. I'm going to try to nab one more, and then be done with it! Until the next release.

Other than BanTang, @WonderingBread, any experience with some of the other makers - Hinderer, Strider, Fiddleback? They're knives don't seem as EDC, ECQC oriented, but seem like beautiful workhorses, nonetheless.

I don't know Fiddleback, except from pictures, the others are excellent and your last sentence describes them well.

It's all up to your tastes and how you see your needs. Ban, right now, is making exactly, or nearly so, what I want for a knife, but that's just me. There are a lot of excellent knife makers out there and there's no reason not to try some you like or even just think you will like.

In no particular order, Empire Outfitter (https://empireoutfitter.com/), USA Made Blade (http://www.usamadeblade.com/main.sc), Blue Line gear (http://www.bluelinegear.com/) and Monkey Edge (http://www.monkeyedge.com/) have excellent collections of knives to choose from. A long visit to these sites will show you many high quality makers that could fit your tastes and needs.

Just a PSA, user tagging (mentioning) only works if you spell the username correctly. Both of those usernames have spaces in them -- Cookie Monster and Wondering Beard. Just type the space in there and the software figures it out. :)

ETA: it's not case-sensitive, just correct-spelling-sensitive. :)Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, out of money for now - but I'm eyeing one of these two beauties for EDC.

And Fiddleback Esquire - 290 w/o a sheath.

^^^Of the two, I think the knife in the upper image will prove more useful. But that's just my perspective.

Would love a CT, now, too. Haha. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171229/a7cfa4fff60a68842befa126a187a743.jpg

Never tried a GHF but I’ve heard good things. The Fiddlesbacks are fantastic knives though. The owner is top notch a and stands behind his product 100%.
