Hey everyone. A quick question for those in the know... Has the blue G10 Tyrade already been produced and sold out? Or is it still on the verge of being released? I see the tan version is readily available.

Cheers, Jesse

The blue G-10 Tyrade was canceled.
 
I own the Orange Tyrade and love it. If there were a blue one I thought I would have seen one on e-bay, at the very least. I have not seen one yet, but I am no expert on Kershaw knives.
 
Ah OK, that makes sense. Now for my true feelings... NOOOOOooooooo!!!!!!

Btw, what do 'BB' and 'SW' mean?

Thanks again.
 
Any word on why the blue Tyrades were cancelled?

I was looking forward to them.

The Gods of Awesome, said that a Blue Tyrade would be "too awesome, as to rival our power of awesome". It then of course, was canceled as to not anger the Gods of Awesome.

That is correct.
Black BB
Black SW
Tan SW
Orange BB (Some were supposed to be SW but were not)
I have the piece count somewhere (just not at work)

My Tan Tyrade is bead-blasted. I was sure wanting it to be stonewashed but it isn't. Does anyone have a Tan SW or are they all BB?
 
This is from Thomas W.
So here are the final breakdown with production numbers:

1850BLKSW 845 Pieces (stone wash)
1850TANSW 175 Pieces (June delivery) (Tan G-10)
1850BLSW 175 Pieces (June/July Delivery) (Blue G-10)
1850OR 269 Pieces (bead blast finish)
1850BLKBB 120 Pieces (bead blast finish)

He also said that all of the Blue end up Tan so the total should be 350 tan.
My Tan Tyrade is marked 1850TAN not 1850TANSW.

Hmmm, I would love to get a tan (cough..blue) Tyrade but would be a bit disappointed to have it show up in beadblasted rather than stonewashed finish. Is this what happened with you---you thought you were buying the SW but it arrived BB? It doesn't affect the awesome utility of the blade at all, but I've always had a thing for SW finishes. Obviously there are BB tan versions out there though, so your numbers from Thomas must have been changed...
 
Was using the original list I had at work and didn't catch it.
The TAN Tyrades were BB. Sorry for the confusion.
They were supposed to be SW but a communication error occurred. ;)

Oh interesting...so all the tan Tyrades will be BB? They all seem to be advertised as SW online. Thanks very much for the replies and info :):thumbup::thumbup:
 
Did they increase the number of oranges they produced after the blue was canceled? I thought initially there were to be only 120 of those.

Not really. There was supposed to be a run of Orange in BB and Orange in SW.... communication error there too, so, they all ended up being BB. :o
 
I am sure it is like any other work place.... the guy in the front office says something and by the time it works its way through channels down to the guy on the floor it sounds something like "blah, blah, blah Tyrade" :D..... or we could just blame the whole thing on Thomas ;):D
