Especially this blue exclusive is a bit more apealing and really is a workhorse of a knife. All te others in this series have the same DNA. Th...

STR is my choice for custom clips. He is extremely capable and has excellent service and super fast turn around times. I am impressed by the high quality of his clips and by the fact that he will work with you on a custom clip on any given knife. B.t.w. did I mention that STR is a very NICE guy, a t...

Hi dd, It is not the wait, for many it is the impatience that is hard to endure. But, as far as we know the Tuff was not mentioned in the mid-year update brochure, so it is safe to suspect that it's release will be in 2012.
