At least according to rheinleder (note, I am not affiliated with them in any way)

Link to non-supporting dealer removed

Site mentions they are on their way and you can place preorder.
No mention of the the different strength back springs which were originally announced and the sheepsfoot blade looks kind of meh. Also no mention of the blade thickness and only right side clip...

I guess I'm missing the point of a modern one handed slipjont.
I hope the company has success with it, but it doesn't make sense to me.
 
don't they also usually have length restrictions as well ?
If not, then this does make a little sense.
 
Also the joys of laws know no logical limits.
I am not allowed to carry a one handed opening and locking knife over here in Germany.
Just one of the features is fine though.
As is carrying a 4.7" fixed.

Also some people simply enjoy the idea of a modern take on a traditional concept.
 
If were to spend that much on a knife I think that slippie Hinderer would be it. I am assuming it has a stronger spring so i could ditch the pocket clip and carry it like a traditional. I don't like a knife clipped to my pocket. Anyway that appears to be a fine blade for whoever gets it.

As someone who is not fond of traditional slip joint knives; this gives me a chance to give them a shot in a modern take on them.
I think it's a great idea

You might want to check out the lionsteel barlow thread if you haven't already.
 
Don't see much point in this knife unless you need a non-locking modern folder. The 19% VAT was interesting however. It doesn't look much like a slip joint although I suspect it functions as such.

Isn't that the case with any knife? Kinda like saying "I don't see much point in a SAK unless you need a knife that includes a bunch of other tools."

My impression is that modern non-locking folders don't sell well. But it might sell "enough" as a limited production knife. Few actually want a non-locking modern folder unless they "have to" for legal reasons. That is not the case with traditional slip joints.
 
One of my favorite things is when people equate their own preferences with "sense."

Oh, wait. That's not one of my favorite things. :(
