I still have my original models K-04 & K-05 and they still serve me very well. I actually consider my Catcherman models kitchen knives and I also use my original FB05 Temperance 1 model as a kitchen knife quite often.
On Spyderco's official forum, Sal has confirmed that things are moving along. The U.S. steel sent to Chinese makers has had problems with heat treating. He assured everyone that the wrinkles would be ironed out. Sal also added that a kitchen block/set is in the works. Spyderco will first be releasing a few models.
