New 2023 Bucks

can anyone verify if standard ebony 112s from the factory are coming with 2023 blade stamps yet? do you think there will be a release of their new knives of their website this week?
 
Thanks! It is always nice to add another 532 to collection, but IMO $350 looks too much for the one with just micarta scales. No exotic material, bone/horn/wood, no classic design with metal part on lover side of the handle.
Is it limited run, individually numbered?

Limited to 2023. Not numbered
 
It would be nice if the paklites came with both sets of scales, so you only had to choose between steel.

They should also come with something that holds all four, at least for storage, in my opinion.

And the cost difference between the Pro and Select is astounding. I didn't get them on this round.

Edit: I do see they have a master sheath. Is it for these Paklites?

They had a pouch for the old set. Im sure they will roll out at some point.
 
I've got my 532 "2023 LE" from KnifeCenter.
Being long-time 532s collector, I say that model is the first 532 I DO NOT LIKE. New packaging, sheath, sock are fine, but the knife itself is not... New style firework looks chip, pressed/smashed not cut. Worst part is the blade, it is thin, narrow, it is loosing round belly but has more round top line. On my version, cutting edge is not even straight but a little inside-curved. What is good on 104 Compadre, it doesn't looks good on small blade. Why changing epic, classic knife design for? Only micarta, not something fancy like carbon fiber - and costs me $385 with tax. Bolster polishing is not very best, too, there is a dark round spot on one side over the yellow bronze.
Unhappy.
Everything above is IMO
