Anyone see the spyderco autonomy at shot?

Announced in 2012, It was supposed to release last summer, then fall, then pushed back to "end of the year", then "winter". It's almost February and I haven't seen an update in months. The coast guard version shipped out last year (still haven't seen a pic of it).

Is this the longest a spyderco knife has been in production without being released?

I really want this knife for SAR.

Maybe I should join the coastguard? lol

I saw it at Blade show in 2012 does that count? :D
It is one that I have been waiting on for a few years as well, and since we can carry Autos in Texas now...........

Guitarwolf, I just talked with one of guys about the Coast Guard version. It is still in T&E stages with a select group of swimmers and not in full release to the whole community yet. He said that he is going to make a call and get some pictures for me. If he is able to, I will share them. He just put in his retirement letter so hopefully it happens before he sets sail.

Excellent news, thanks for the update! I have a feeling that the wait is going to be even more excruciating after we see those coast guard pics :)

Hi Wolf,

I saw the the all black version (with the safety) is currently in the schedule for this spring.

Sal is such a tease.

Excellent, can't wait to try it out. I bet this will be a very popular model. In fact I should probably set up a pre-order! Thanks

Guitarwolf,

My buddy sent me a picture of one of the CG Rescue Swimmer knives that is out in the fleet. It isn't the best picture but I thought you might enjoy it.

That is one fantastic looking knife right there! :eek: Too bad it won't be a regular production variation.

Wow it looks amazing in orange g10 and uncoated H1! Look how big the deployment button is. I love it.
