Clay.MartinWhere? When? I’ve been checking various sites and am on mailing lists like BladeHQ and KershawKnives. Haven’t seen a thing. 🤷🏻♂️
BHQ still shows “Preorder Down Payment $5”.
Clay.MartinNot true. It still hasn't come to market due to issues in production. At Blade Show West a few weeks ago Kershaw still didn't have a solid release date. They said HOPEFULLY first quarter 2019.
The production "issue" is that the copper is getting a patina in the process, and they don't want it to go out to customers with a patina on it already. Allegedly.
namhodAh, okay. Makes sense. All I knew was that it said it was not available, I got the email that it was, and then it was listed as sold out. Thank you for the correction!
glennacKershaw has been having issues getting the finish perfect. They want the finish to protect the copper enough so that it doesn't patina/tarnish during shipment or while it's sitting on the shelves, but still light enough to end up with a nice patina with use.
They should be on shelves within the month according to the rep at BLADE Show West.
