Knife, EDC & Flashlight Drop Watch

Why this is recommended

A Spyderco sprint run that sells out in four minutes, a Chris Reeve lottery, a Blade HQ exclusive, a state that just legalized automatics, a TSA rule change, or a lock recall on the knife in the member's pocket are each worth the membership, and the drops are announced on maker channels at odd hours.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The millions of Americans who carry a knife or a light every day and the collectors who chase a sprint run.

When it runs

Track everyday carry gear releases and rules for US enthusiasts. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days, or same-day for announced limited drops: limited knife, flashlight, pen and multitool drops, sprint runs, lotteries and exclusives with prices and release times from Benchmade, Spyderco, Chris Reeve, Hinderer, Microtech, Zero Tolerance, Kershaw, CRKT, Civivi, WE, Reate, Tactile Knife Co, Tactile Turn, Jack Wolf, Shirogorov, Olight, Emisar, Hank, Zebralight, Prometheus, Acebeam, Fenix, Leatherman and Victorinox; sales of 20 percent or more at Blade HQ, KnifeCenter, DLT, GP Knives, Smoky Mountain and Urban EDC; Blade Show, Blade Show West and Blade Show Texas dates and tickets; state and city knife law changes on blade length, automatic, balisong and carry rules with effective dates; TSA and airline rule changes; recalls and lock failure findings; secondary market moves of 30 percent or more and counterfeit alerts; and maker closures and acquisitions. Prefer maker and retailer announcements, state legislatures, TSA, CPSC and established EDC reporting; ignore reseller hype and unverified leaks, and report law changes neutrally. Put the maker or product first in the title with the price and the drop time. Use high severity for a drop within 24 hours from a maker whose runs sell out, a law change taking effect within 90 days, or a recall. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, when and where, the rules, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
