Well, that's news, and not the good kind... The flippers are going to have a field day and make the rest of us suffer. I wonder what the thinking is behind this change of plan. Has the S110V lightweight Manix2 reduced the steel on hand?

Not a shock on either status or timing, but yes, a little disappointing. Looking on the brighter side, the short term knife budget gets a breather. :)

That explains why the auction was ended - there was no knife to deliver when it closed. :rolleyes:

I hope this isn't true... I've been waiting for this one for a long time. I hope I can actually get my hands on one.

Since the knife apparently won't be manufactured until next year, I hope the seller has it prominently labeled as a long-term pre-order. :)

Maybe I messed up. He never said anything about CF. However, it does look like CF handles and the knife says Forum Knife 2013 and the blade is S110V. Last years model I reckon?
Sorry for the cornfusion guys.

This is upsetting. Will not make a difference for me, if the knife will be a sprint or limited production as long as I will be able to get one of these.

The model is in production in the Golden plant. We can only produce a limited number each month and must wait to begin shipping until we reach a minimum number (collectors/premiers). I believe they'll begin shipping this year, but will probably be behind for a while.

Yes, from those pics, it's definitely worth waiting for! Thanks again for the update Sal.

Hi Sal. Will this be a sprint or regular production knife?
