Spyderco 2014 Lists: Delivered, Coming Soon & Later

So, correct me in summary, Stretch ZDP with a very light brown / tan G-10 but other G-10 colors have not been ruled out and there's still a chance that it'll be "buffed" CF? Also, still in early prototyping stage?
Can't vouch for the "light" part of light brown, at least not yet, but aside from that, yes. While I'm not a fan of peel-ply G-10 myself, folks have been asking for a G-10 Stretch ever since the SS/Kraton version came out and I suspect that at least 90% of them would prefer it to be peel ply, so it would really be the most logical material to use initially. Color is more divisive, Spyderco can't possibly please everyone but I must say I was surprised at the amount of negative reactions to the brown G-10 on the C54 Calypso Sprint and the Southard Folder.

What ever happened to the Spyderco Foundry Folding Knife?Is it still in the works?

This one is meant to be available to the employees at the foundry. I think a few knives have already leaked out onto eBay, probably by an employee. There has been no word on when they will be more widely available...

Keep in mind the production version has plain stainless scales, not the "Bio Blue" alloy that was originally envisioned (too expensive and difficult to work).

MT19 is announced, as well.

I guess this means the CF Native is for sure a Sprint, and not production?
 
Both Kiwi4 and Spin Blue Nishijin Glass Fiber are in stock at GP Knives. Moved them from Coming Soon to Delivered in Post #1.
