I asked Paul Gillespie at CRKT about this oe time and he said that they will switch over to the flippered blades for the 03/13 and 02/12 models when the current supply of non-flippered blades depletes. Exactly "when" is kind of difficult to pin down. Unless Kit has received some updated news, this is the current word from CRKT.
