DELTA Z KNIVES SIGNS LONG TERM, MULTI-KNIFE DESIGN CONTRACTS WITH WORLD
RENOWNED KNIFE MAKERS

DARREL RALPH AND AKI MEMBER TIM HERMAN

In an aggressive move to expand its line of knives, Delta Z has formed long
| term collaborative alliances with Darrel Ralph, well known for his ability
to bring new and ;: unique knife designs to the marketplace, and Tim Herman,
a 23 year member of the prestigious Art Knife Invitational (AKI)
organization and an equally longstanding member of

the Knifemakers Guild.

This will be Mr. Herman's hrst collaboration effort in his long, well
established career

as a highly respected knife artist.

The first efforts of these gentlemen will be formally introduced at the SHOT
show in d January 2001, however one or more of these production versions may
be available to the

public prior to the January show. Bamaby Zelman, President of Delta Z
Knives, Inc. stated:

"We are very proud and honored to have these two very talented artists on
our team, and it is the belief here at the company is that knife buyers will
feel the same once the knives are released for public scrutiny".

Mr. Herman added:

"I am very happy to be working with Delta Z on the production of my Sliver
series of ; folding knives (to be produced as "DECO by Herman?"). I feel
this is one of my best

designs and look forward to seeing it brought to the public by a very good
knife company with people as passionate about knives as I am."

Darrel Ralph commented:

"This should be a great venture for Delta Z and myself. I will design, one
for tactical, one for gents and one straight knife. I have wanted to
diversify my talents for a while now. Delta Z is a great vehicle to
accomplish this goal."
