Now I'm VERY intrigued!

Does the Captain proto have a liner lock?

The Captain looks cool! I might have to add that to my list! :eek:
Very... stocky!
Judging strictly by the hole and the rivet, it seems to be a small-ish to medium-ish sized knife (somewhere between a Navigator 2 and an Delica 4)

Thanks Kristi,
I am sure this one will raise some eyebrows. Some may even call it ugly.
I look forward to handling it however as it has some strange appeal.

I think I like the captain. It looks like you could chop a tree down with it or something. It seems kind of axe like or something...

Well I will be. The Captian really has my interest. It really looks like a Mans knife - no sissy stuff hjere. And I am not one to jump all over the newest most fangled knife on the market - prefering the Spydie classics. But this has the makings of a classic......
Thanks for the pic - I will stay tuned! :D

Here's a bit more info... didn't have time earlier... hope this helps...
Jason Breeden custom collaboration is a very ergonomic knife with a G-10 handle, steel liners and a VG-10 blade. It is a liner lock and has a large belly for skinning, a re-curve on the inside for cutting things like boxes. It has a very unique look. It also feels great in the hand.

holy cow!

this list and the pics of the captain are blowing me away, I've been like this :eek: during the last 5 minutes...
I got a question too: is the UKPK becoming a regular model? (by regular I mean not a sprint run)
that would be the best news ever because it's the perfect office EDC.

Just piping in here, since the UKPK is *my* favorite EDC... there have been several comments in threads around here about Sal making the UKPK a worldwide available product. The UKPK is on a US INVASION!!! :D

The Captain sure looks interesting.....I'm anxious to check it out...at first glance thought it was a dedicated oyster shucking knife! :p
Thanks Kristi

Thanks for the great info Kristi. How was the response to the Superhawk? Did people like the prototype? Can you tell us more about the Superhawk? I LOVE the Captain :p

Thanks for all the info Kristi, you are so awesome :)
The Lum is great news to hear, this model is one of those I missed on it's first go. The Captain looks really nifty IMHO, it's cute in that Dodo kind of way

The Captain looks like one tough knife! Looks like it will have a nice heft for the size. Add another to the list...
