benchmade 470 release?

[Ch33no]

Anyone know, when the 470 will be available? Also any concerns about blade strength at only 0.090"

GP Knives lists June 15, 2011 as its estimated arrival date. Regarding blade strength, it's obviously intended as a gentleman's/light-duty knife, and if used within those parameters the thin blade shouldn't be an issue. (Basically, don't do anything with it that you wouldn't do with a Kershaw Leek and you should be fine.)

An assistd knife, seems a bit aggresive, for a a "gentle" man. Also a hefty price tag, to be a knife, you'd have to question, every time you pull it out. Beautiful knife though.
