500ish is all I know.

118 green
*ish, as others have said
Production numbers will be published in 2023 if you want exact.Also thank you for this information. I was hoping for accurate numbers. No ishes : )
I know, based on the information from the actual website, that there are exactly 500 made of the Natural Canvas Micarta (Special Factory Order). And Jiki and yourself put 118 Green. So going to assume this is also an accurate total number produced.

I guess it won't make them any profit. They just make a sh*tloads of them, like Case who make their "vault pattern" for a year or so. Imagine an overall production totals of Ontario RAT folders, haha.I really wish other companies would do this.
Anyone tried the blade as a screwdriver?This here flathead will bust some suds and there’s even a blade ‘fer cuttin’Fit and finish is excellent. Loving this combo and the black micarta is nice

I got an email notification that a certain company had gotten these in stock, an hour later when I opened the email . . . . so how does anyone get them without paying extravagant after market prices?
That is what I was thinkingFirst step - live (actually live there, put up a tent, forget the rest of your house even exists, for that matter anything else in your life) in front of your computer or glue your phone to your hand.
Second step - answer the notification in 1.2 seconds, finishing your purchase in a total of 3 seconds.
Third step - pray to the Gods for letting you be so gloriously blessed with your purchase. Post Purchase Pro Tip: An Offering or Sacrifice to the Gods may help you to be lucky once again with your next purchase attempt.
If you haven't responded to the notification in under 4 minutes, and that is being generous with the time constraint on occasions, you will be too late.
The cap lifter blade obviously.Anyone tried the blade as a screwdriver?
The springs on mine are sunken at the half stop as well. I have a few knives with springs like that. Never had an issue.Really liking my natural canvas. I noticed the spring is sunken at the half stop rather than flush or a little proud like most of my knives with half stops. Is it anything to worry about functionally?
Good to know. I put a fresh edge on it last night and threw it in the pocket this morning. I think it’s gonna make a great work knife.The springs on mine are sunken at the half stop as well. I have a few knives with springs like that. Never had an issue.
