Sal,

Can you share any information if we can look forward to the Slysz Swayback this upcoming year, or is it still a couple years out?

Thank you!

No real interest in most titanium framelocks, but this one has my eye. Taichung framelocks get better with age, and the contouring on the bowie makes me hopeful for what we might see in this piece.

The contouring on the scales definitely suggests at least that much. (More like the bowie than the chef.) We haven't seen a production pilot yet, though.

I like the standard wire clip better than bent or milled clips, but if the production version had an option for a wire clip *and* a version of Slysz's prototype clip I wouldn't be sad.
