Liners are skeletonized stainless, not Titanium.

As mentioned; light strong, CPM-M4, Carbon fiber scales, heavy duty.

Sal, could you comment on whether this is "regular" production, "limited" production or a sprint run?

I'm not Sal, but think you can safely rule out Sprint Run, since no completely new design has ever been produced as one before. Between the other two, not much difference really. Either way, it will be made until lack of demand causes it to be retired. Worst case scenario with a Limited Production model, you might have to wait a month or three if you don't have a pre-order in place.

I can hardly wait. The year is almost up and nothing yet. I can only think that Sal is going to spring a Christmas surprise on us all. What do you think?

I've been carrying a production piece for the past couple of days.

It's exquisite.

Man that's cold. In production, exquisite. . . can't you help a brother out with picture or at least a few details?

I'm not familiar with CPM-M4 steel. It appears to not be stainless given its low chromium content of 4%. What's special about M4?

Sharpest steel made, fantastic edgeholding. This is what I have heard. Gunmike has mentioned it many times, I think in reference to his M4 Mule.

M4 is the steel a good many of us use in BladeSports, Int. Cutting competitions. At high hardness it is still incredibly tough, and takes an awesome edge.

Any idea of what month it should ship out in Sal? I'm really trying to work out a budget. This is one I really, really don't want to miss.

Exact dates aren't needed or anything, but an appx. month would really help a bunch. Thanks.
