Has anybody purchased a 440A-Sandivk changeover knife and recieved a Sandivk one yet? I know the changeover date is July 07, but I wondered if they hit the stock of any of the big dealers yet (NGK, GPK, etc.) I really want another leek and a baby boa, but would prefer them in the 13C26. Thanks!
 
Everyone (with decent sales) should have them in stock, by now.
NGK will tell you if you call or email them. They get a lot of praise
for their customer service.

the baby boa is on my x-mas list. doubt i'll use it much (supersmall knife), but it would be cool to have the better steel, just for that "cool" factor.
 
All of the Blurs I have looked at at WalMart are still 440A. The last time I checked it was still 06 on all the ones I have seen.
 
I work in the Knife Sales section of the Bass Pro Shop in Bossier City, LA, and just about all our Kershaws have dates past July 07.

Hope that helps,

Just got off phone with New Graham. They only had 2 of the 1660CKT's in stock, and they were both before July 07. Guess I'll have to wait a bit still...
 
I spoke to soon. I went to Walmart again today to get a present for one of my sons and they had a Blur Tanto that said Sep 07 so I picked it up.
 
I picked up a Leek w/ the Jul 07 date on it a while back. I'd have to say that I like it. The edge looks different than the 420, don't know how to explain it really. And it seems to be holding an edge much better than the 420.

The action wasn't as smooth as before, but maybe I just need to flick it more. (as if I haven't already.) The lock seems to be a bit more secure too. Goes a bit further across the blade than before.

I'm going to like the new steel. Now I gotta find a black out.
