Hello CSSD family
I'm sure that you already know IWA went great..
Florian & I taught  Gunting-LLC at the PID Anti Terror Conference .. we had a tremendous response then at the main show at IWA things were also great! We won Knife of the Year, Tactical at  IWA...very cool!

I did many interviews on it..; I guess we can add this to any possible upcoming articles! :)
I NEVER seem to be included in any Tactical story, knives with our Armed Services..even though my knives are there, including my LLC USMC and I teach these guys..

ROFL (Roll On Floor Laughing)..OH well...

maybe some of you want to write? (I noticed that Ontario still had Abanikos for display sale at their new booth at IWA the same as at SHOT..as well as others in IWA,,like ACMA RUESS) The Abaniko is used in combat daily in Iraq and Afghanistan! I saw the Submarine ( Abaniko family of knives) at several booths as well I just received my patents on the Abaniko and all variations of it! Be safe Bram Frank - Founder of CSSDSC

Here is the article from IWA:

7th IWA International Knife Award
Special Knives -Tactical Category

IWA & OutdoorClassics 2007 Know-how and special production technologies Knives: Everyday tools, designer models, collectors’ items and emergency instruments. Manufacturers develop new knives for a wide range of purposes and areas of life every year. Knives from all over the world are judged at the IWA (Internationale Waffens Austellung) & Outdoor Classics exhibition and selected as the best knives of the year in various categories of the IWA International Knife Award. Again in 2007, many models impressed with their special functionality and surprising innovation. Besides the everyday tasks, there are man special purposes for which a knife must have a special shape and/or a special combination of materials, e.g. because it must be used for life-saving or self-defence purposes.

Such a knife became the winner in the “special knives -tactical category”: the Lapu Lapu Corto model from Cherusker- Messer, Germany, designed by Bram Frank, USA.
