Search listing Seal Team Elite as retired,why?

[darkseraphane]

I've been running searches for a good price on a Sog Seal Team Elite, and many of the sites I looked at list the knife as being discontinued. Is it? The manufacturer's website does not list it as discontinued or retired. I saw similar
posts from Dec, 2009--but it seemed to have been a computer error then. Is the model now discontinued? If it is, I'll have to pick out a different knife then. I really liked that model alot and the elite pup as well. Maybe someone can clear this up for me--there is no way I'm buying a model(s) that has been discontinued. Darn. I really wanted that knife . Bah! Anyone whom read my first post here, likely noticed that I wanted one of each:the seal team elite, the pup elite, and the tigershark elite.

I needed a knife that was strong and tough and rust-resilient..that one(s) would have suited me just fine. I'm hoping that those are simply old, out of date websites. Can someone please let me know? I never seem to get any help from customer service. Thanks in advance for any help. Oh, before I forget, one website did, instead of showing a picture of the knife (and sheath), showed a picture of a strange sog-sheath I've never seen before--it had a clip-lock, a malice (I think) style (you'll see them often enough on back-packs), and it had a pull-down cover which came down over the knife-handle and the pouch. Other websites just listed the knives by name and with the usual pics. Thank you in advance.

No, that's not the one I saw. I actually called the manufacturer (had to call twice, phone
messed up), yea, it turns out that none of the models I mentioned were 'retired' or discontinued. The websites I checked are still saying they are though--must be an error of some kind. The woman I spoke with assured me the models are still well in production,
and certainly not discontinued. Search engine may have been picking up old search results. Ah well, it happens. Lol. Atleast now I can the knife I'd wanted. I apologize for any confusion my post may have caused--however, I can't help what a search engine brings up. But I am glad those knife models are available--just wish I'd remembered to ask about the tangs. Dang it.
