Dozens and dozens of models, many of them represented with various iterations in color and finish.

Chatting later with Kyle Stuart, then marketing manager and now CRKT VP of marketing, he mentioned a new release he felt I might find interesting. He sent one over for me to check out, and when it arrived, I…
