what does ATR stand for? When can we "see" it?

What does "ATR" stand for? Is it going to debut at the SHOT show? Will we see pictures then? What are the measurements on it?

"At The Ready" - a term from Formula One racing. It debuted at the NYC show. (I saw one there anyway. I think I have read that
pics might appear after the SHOT show.

How big is it?

Here is how Sal answered my "ATR details?" post on the other forum:

"Blade length - 3.5"
Blade steel - still to be determined, probably VG10.

Blade shape is unusual and quite difficult to describe. Basically a dagger grind with a chunk cut out of the top half, sharpened on edge side only.

Lock is an integral compression lock (first time)

Handle on the proto is Titan, although we'll probably make both steel and Titan handles (cost). Indexing holes in both the handle and clip (new style) for different size hands.

"Cobra hood" over hole for easy deployment (new concept).

14mm opening hole (Military size).

Very simple knife."

Any pics out yet?

There is a small scan at Knifecenter.com's report on the SHOT Show.

With Sal's permission, I could post a magnified (life-size) version of that scan at Bladeforums for you.

That would be cool. The small scan is hard to see.
