Prez nailed it.... the price point on this one will be darned affordable. Another point is that this is a departure knife. Kershaw's focus on in-house disigns lately have led to more of a something for everyone sorta thing. Will this knife be for those with more traditional sensibilities, not likely.... However, it does fill a nice for a very stylish, slightly extroverted, something you ain't seen before kinda knife. I think this one will find a many a home in the pockets of the 18-30 set. The brash new design language should catch some eyes and lure in lifers... the Ken Onion designs did that to me 10 years ago.... If you recall, it was pretty radical too. This should be a hit and I would love to see some variation on it in the future..... also for you forzen mucus haters....I paid extra for this...No accounting for taste, I guess LOL

Usually love kershaw designs but I'm not really feeling this one.
Here I was thiking the Echelon was coming soon - I saw on a knife retail site with an estimated release date of 08/01/2011, man, I hope that is wrong and its sooner..
Really a neat looking knife.
I do wish it had the same color backspacer , but can live with an open frame.
So glad to hear it's not going to be that typical horrid beadblast. ( sorry Kershaw ! I love you guys but beadblast is a terrible finish IMO for various reasons )
The grinds on that knife are fabulous !

Sooner than 8-1, prolly more like 7-1.
