It's mid summer, and we are again in the process of developing NEW models for the 2009 catalog. Different shapes and sizes of knives are in the making, and some of the knives offered here will be added to the catalog. I do this every year, and offer these knives to my Great Ebay customers. In the world of knife collecting, these prototypes and variants can later become highly sought after as they are very rare in comparison to the cataloged models.
