I am pleased to announce that there was a special meeting for management on this thread and they decided to make another run of brown canvas Micarta Shamans. We'll use a different, but complimentary steel and make twice as many as the first sprint.

According to earlier reports from Sal you will have plenty of time since we won't see it for a year.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

That was the BladeHeadquarters Natural Jade G10 M4 Shaman, which has already come and gone and sold out the day it was released. I would assume there will be a DLC version in the near future though if you are after the Jade G10. You can find the satin version on ebay for $300-400.

Sheesh that's expensive. The current Micarta-Cruwear run sells new for about 350$ here in Europe, and that's already twice what I put in a new PM2. Guess I'll holdout for a few more months and hope I can snag one or wait for the DLC version.
Kind of expecting a K390 Shaman, with it being a hard use folder

Yeah, I have a feeling that the Denim Micarta Shaman that Sal said is coming is going to be in K390, though I would personally prefer 4V for that one. I can almost guarantee that BHQ will do a DLC M4 Jade G10 Shaman, the question is more of a when than an if in my opinion.

As long as they keep the time tested OG Millie i don't really care if they launch a comp lock Military 2 that spawns 100 Dealer exclusives to be honest.

Hi Evil,

We're tooling the base now. We'll remake the Duckfoot in CBN. Tooling for the Golden Stone is very dear. A base made more sense.

Hi Ramzar,

At this time, the plan is to try to set a 30% off MAP. It's still a nightmare scenario to try to please everyone on pricing. You kind understand and patience is appreciated.

^I saw that earlier, and I'm really disappointed to read it!

Besides exclusives that I MUST have, 35% MAP is already unacceptable. 30% is gonna make all non-sprints bitter purchases for me and drastically reduce them altogether.

If it encourages smaller dealers to carry more spydercos, then I guess I'll pinch more pennies.
