a question I know can't be answered...

Will the LionSpy, Tuff or fluted native 5 come out in 2011? Speculation from the wiser members of the board welcome

IMHO --- no -- 2012.
They have a bunch of new stuff coming out already this year --- BUT --- we CAN hope !!!!

The answer is 'maybe.' Sometimes things get ahead of schedule and sometimes they fall way behind. They're always worth the wait and then some.

I've been waiting for the Tuff for years and now that it's in the prototype stages, I feel it's been rushed.

I'd be willing to bet at least one of them will. Native V would be my top contender. I'm more surprised the G-10 version isn't out yet than I would be if it hit dealer shelves tomorrow and I'd be flabbergasted if some version didn't make it out the door before 2012. The SpyLeone may also arrive this year. My guess is that its timing depends more on Lion Steel's production capacity than anything else. The Tuff, probably not. Everything I've heard and read points to it still being a pretty early beta version, to borrow a computer term.
