Animation of the E.T. Knife (External Toggle) from Kershaw Knives

Saturday, January 5th, 2008 | Killer Deal, Product Alerts | 1 Comment

Though we can no longer refer to the E.T. from Kershaw as “new” – we can refer to its unique design as new to the industry. It won Blade Magazine’s “Most innovative American Design” in 2005. Why are we writing about it now? Kershaw has supplied us with a nice little animation of the E.T. opening – we’ve included it below. If you haven’t seen it, here is your chance at the next best thing to seeing the Kershaw E.T. knife in person.

Is that a tie dyed Swiss Army Knife…?

Saturday, November 10th, 2007 | Knife Reviews / News, Manufacturer News, Product Alerts | 2 Comments

You got it! Victorinox (now owners of Wenger) finally acknowledges that they have been discriminating against knife-loving, tool toting hippies for years. Their response? To design a knife especially for the hippie… or at least the hippie resident in many of us. That’s right… the same Swiss Army knife you’ve come to know and love – with tie dyed handles.

Available in four colors – Green, Purple, Pink and Orange. These knives show promise in bringing the older generation together with the younger one in an interesting way. Maybe that’s going a little far – but we’re excited for the improved model rumored to debut soon with the roach clip in place of the scissors and a screen repository instead of a nail file.
