I've heard that Mike is difficult to get in touch with but I have not tried to contact him myself for several years. I spoke with him at a knife show in January of this year and he did have some of his knives at his table that looked like newer designs.
I attended another knife show on 7/28/18. Mike was on the list of vendors but he wasn't there that day during the hours that I was there. I ran into a member of the knife club that Mike is a member of and he said that he hasn't seen Mike for quite some time.
Post #30 in the link below contains some information that I got from Mike regarding how and when to contact him. The information is 18 months old now.

Just below that post in post #31 are some pics posted by member
@mqqn. In the first pic, Mike is left center with his hands in his pockets wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans talking to a customer at his table who also has his hands in his pockets.
None of that really answers your question but it's all I've got.
