Delivery was delayed because they arrived without lanyard tubes and needed to be sent back to get them installed. Probably a few months.
Strange because the picture on this site shows that it's not supposed to have one.

Oof. How’d you hear about that?
A very knowledgeable Spyderco employee told us

Well, it is supposed to have one. The picture on the site isn't always accurate.

Haha, that’s quite an oopsie when nobody notices a part is missing on the prototype and they go and take all the photos.

Sigh. Lanyard tubes are nothing but trouble.

Geez guys. 6.5 months since I preordered this.

Mushroom, you have an inside scoop on an ETA?

I know nothing! :grin-sweat

When I said "a few months," that was a total shot in the dark on my part. I was just guessing.

To be completely honest, I don't actually know the true cause for the delay in delivery. I didn't mean to spread rumors. Sorry about that.

I'm excited for this one, in the (contoured!) white G10. It looks like a nice slim and light carry. The 8Cr… steel is fine for my typical uses.
I agree 200%. For my daily edc needs 8cr is fine. Especially when its done correctly like Spyderco does

That’s incredibly confusing but thanks for clarifying.
