I don't know when or if they ever will.
But, I will tell you that the serrations are very shallow and it takes very little effort to remove them. I have two friends who have done just this, and I could see very little loss of edge-bevel angle, due to how thin the blade is. One just used a diamond hone, and a little time, to do it. When I get one, that is what I plan to do (not a big fan of serrations).
Something to consider.

As mentioned above, the serrations are pretty mild. I dont care much for them either, so when I sharpen it I just do it on a regular stone and after the first couple of times, the serrations are simply not a factor anymore.
It performs well as a one hander. The lock takes a bit of getting used to if you are right handed since you push it the opposite way you normally would with most liner locks.

I have the 2002 dealers catalog and I know from what is in it there are no plans (according to this one) for a plain edge version. With that said though I own a few of these and the serrations are fairly shallow and really do not hinder its use. They are decent knives for othe mony and they are made on much the same principle as the old schrade folding hunter with the liner lock. In other words its a slipjoint with a liner lock (it does not lockup tight, only keeps the blade from closing on your fingers. It is a good knife though. Smoky (eknifeworks.com) sells them with a black leather pouch and maglite (both fit into pouch) for 39.99 (I believe). All in all its a good little knife. I found it to be more useful than what I had thought, considering it has a serrated blade.
