Curious, why is the Fluted-Ti so hard to come by? It's obviously the most expensive Military. So why not make more to meet the demand?

Alex, have you gotten any notifications?

I just got an email at 6:00 tonight saying my order's been shipped.

Spyder-fan, I think it's because of the heat coloring (now electrical coloring?) process. From what I've heard, it took quite a while to color each one with the torch and they were rejecting quite a few due to warpage.

I'm definitely interested in just how many they actually had in stock, couldn't have been many.

If that's the main reason, they should be able to start shipping more since the electrical process doesn't warp the scales.

You'd think wouldn't you. But from what I just read on the 12 new sprints coming in '13 that's not their focus.....But I wish it was!

Maybe they're really choking the flow of these to keep them a limited edition? I'm stoked about the sprints though, so how can I be mad?

Mine should be showing up tomorrow.

This one's got a gorgeous fade on the front, and the back is almost solid blue except near the pivot and surrounding edges. It's a little more electric blue, but the phone doesn't catch that.

I check with those guys frequently, it's really the only place I see them in stock long enough to get my hands on one. I'll post again if I see another.
