I'm looking for a traditional Large Espada in CTS-XHP and it seems all the sources are indicating only Pre-Order / Back-Order options. I see this is true for a number of models that were to switch to CTS-XHP for 2015. For the Espada, apparently only the G10 model is available. I want to buy through a retailer like Knifecenter, Amazon or BladeHQ because of the substantial discounts over full retail direct from Cold Steel (which also lists it as back-ordered). I am wondering if there's any indication of an expected availability date for these channels or whether this is a matter of weeks or months wait time.
 
Still waiting on the Special Edition Hold Out I here...it's frustrating. No more silence and no more "I don't know" or "we can't tell" answers, guys!
 
I found on Midway's site, CTS-XHP Espada is expected in November (11/07/2015). I don't know how accurate that is, but it's the only indication I've found. I don't know what the Special Edition is, but CTS-XHP Hold Out 1 in plain and serrated is available from various sites.
 
Thanks. Knifecenter is still reporting the aluminum bolstered CTS-XHP models in Pre-Order status.
 
Midway just updated their site for the Aluminum-bolstered, XHP, polished Espadas:

Status: Coming Soon
Date expected in stock: 03/21/2016

So instead of 11/7/15, it looks like they're more than 4 months out still.

In the last couple weeks, Amazon also put up a Pre-Order listing for the XHP Espada's, but there is no indication when they might be in stock.

Knifecenter continues to list them for Pre-Order.
