Leafstorm Release Date

#1

Post by nathan310 »

I found this on Keven Wilkin's site and I'm wondering if there is a release date for this?

"Leafstorm and Leafstorm Lightweight
Open: 153mm Blade: 60mm Closed: 91mm

My favorite mini folder made from 2mm 6Al4V titanium. I usually make the blades from 3.2mm Böhler N690 cobalt stainless steel. These knives fit neatly in the watch pocket of most jeans.

The standard version has Ti scales on both sides with an overlay on the non-locking side; the Lightweight version has the non-locking side machined completely from a super strong synthetic plastic laminate.

Spyderco will bring out a US-made production version of this knife in the Fall of 2008!"

I know it said fall of 2008 but does anyone have more specifics?

Will they use the same materials?

It's the top knife on the page and the pic changes when you put the cursor on them to different leafstorms.

On one of the IWA videos they said it would be sometime this month. If I had to guess on the street price I would say well over $100, probably around $150.
