[Aedrick]

Does anyone know if there's a replacement model on the way?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

There were vague rumblings a while back of a possible Chinook IV but I haven't heard anything remotely concrete in regard to if, much less when, it will be produced.

I wanted one of these but was hard to find in stock even before the 3 was discontinued

I got a II and III... Great knives.

I gave mine to my son, maybe he'll trade it back for a balisong. :)
Unless the Chinook IV is on the horizon. Mr. Glesser? :)

I'd LOVE to see a retro design akin to my VG-10 Proto below --
-- fourth gen. IMHO should move over to S90V ideally, and a renaissance pursued harkening back to full liners, G-10 scales retained and a return to a similar blade profile as opposed to the FFG in the III.

This potential Chinook IV would have a HIGH BAR to clear when compared to the below:

I would pay easily 1/2 again more for such a Chinook IV concept, as I always felt the III wanting on so many levels (and 2/3rds the overall mass) by contrast.

Mr. Keating's involvement, sig and endorsement through developmental participation in a Gen IV design/construction would likely be a PITA to factor back in to the necessarily inflating sticker price after *all* would be said and done, and I'd like to see as well return to the initial blade profile -- More $$ still, but would be SO worth it.

Was there ever such a thing as a Chinook sprint? That would be cool.
