I definatly think you're moving in the right direction, you've added more color for sure.

I'm not sure how I feel about the tiled backgrounds, they make the site look very mid '90s.

I still think you need to add more images to the site. The homepage especially needs images, you need to grab the visitor's attention, and text alone just isn't going to do it. Choose some of your favorite knife images and try and work one or two into each page.

You should definatly customize the look of your forum to fit the final design of your site.

This is the number one site that Google returned when I searched for "pocket knives" http://www.sarcoknives.com although it doesn't have a lot of pictures, the interface has a very elegant, refined look to it. I think if you can find a happy medium between what you have, and the Sarco site, you would be in good shape.

Presentation is everything on the web, if people don't like what they see, there are millions of other sites for them to go to.

Well defined and presented. Could you include an image slideshow (pics of the knives). Very nice layout. Great colour scheme. All fits well.
Keep up the good work.

Is there anyway we can have a look at your previous one?

I remember the previous site and this is definately a move in the right drection. That background graphic though could probably go now unless you absolutely love it. Its hard to make out exactly what it is & simply takes up space. But keep it if you love it! My only comment at this stage apart from I love the new blue its much much brighter & better is that your navigation should remain consistent.

One of the first & most important comments i get on courses is easy & simple navigation is a must. Your buttons at the top change when you choose the price guide option. Why not stick with main buttosn as they are & under price guide create a sub menu somewhere but leave main nav alone. It will create a better response from users while being more professional its simply because it makes the site easy to navigate.

Other that that well done. few more pics in shop and you will be definately on your way to a much improved site !

Nice improvements. Keep up the great work.

From a SEO perspective, I would suggest incorporating at least one H1 tag on the page with a keyword/keyphrase. Your title tag reads like a description tag which holds very little focus for the SEs.

I like the look and function works quite well!
