Anybody know the projected release date for this knife?

I haven't bought a benchmade in a few years now, because nothing appealed to me.. but this thing looks like a winner!

I thought I remember reading end of november, but seeing as that has come and gone, it must have been pushed back.
 
I'm on a preorder list myself - It should be any time from what I hear too
 
Preorder at Grand Prarie has it as 1/31/2012. I'm sorta hoping it will be then so that my wallet has time to rest and recoup!
 
Yes it does. First BM product that appealed to me for a long while. Anybody know if it is black class or blue?
 
The Benchmade page says "Black" -- though I'm not sure if the Limited Edition version is the same.
 
All it is is a G10 color change right? It should still be in same "class" then..

Personally I don't like the black on black.. seems to overdone. At least the desert-theme is somewhat unique. To be honest, I'd prefer 154CM over D2, but still looks like a winner to me!

You're right. And the price shown on the Benchmade page is the same for both, so they must be the same class.
 
I don't like the black on black either and as stated, they are both Black Class ;)
 
GPKnives now says that it is estimated in the first quarter of 2012. This probably means its been pushed back a little further than 1/31/2012 :/ I'm on pre-order as well. I've been looking forward to this folder since it showed up on the BM website. At first I thought the limited edition black on black was cool, but I quickly changed my mind. The desert tan and black compliment each other quite well! Personally, I'm quite partial to D2 and S30V blade steels, so this is right up my alley. I'm pretty sure that if this line of knives takes off, many of you will get your wish of a 275 in 154CM! Well, there's my two cents. Hope it helped!
 
I also have a preorder for the tan/black, and the black/black. Satin finish blades would be my preference, but I sorta like the black on black.
