Any idea when it's coming out...yeah I know, two weeks! But seriously, I'm thinking in spring... that sound right to you guys?

I'm guessing that Jerry is going to stick with the TAC design on this one but I was wondering if we're going to have DC and Satin finishes available? Any thoughts on this?
 
I've been thinking about this too and I've been wondering if the only way that you'll be able to get it in a satin is in the LE version, Like the way the STJ's ran. My only bug about that is that then you'll have too have the TigerStripe handles which I am not a fan of. I would pay extra to have the black, tan, or snakeskin handles on it.

make it satin yourself. a little acetone, some sandpaper and a 12 pack.

While an option, I don't think this is ideal. The main issue is the removal of the dimples and grind marks. I did this to one blade (an NO-e with black crinkle and green canvas) and the results are not nearly as nice as the factory finish. I'll gladly pay a premium given the option.

Silas: I used to agree with you, but the tigerstripe is growing on me. I now wish I had gotten the LE versions of the MrS and LrMrS to go with my HOGSJTLE and HOFSHLE. I still like the black paper best, but the tigerstripe is coming up strong in second.
