When is "Luzon" folder coming out?

They are listed as "'Overdue" along with the new San Mai blades. I imagine a cargo ship slowly sailing across the Pacific Ocean with shipping containers full of Cold Steel products headed for the Port of Hueneme in Ventura County, California. Hopefully they will arrive before next months semi annual parking lot sale at Cold Steel.
 
This is the only one of the new line up that is appealing to me - so I'm waiting as well.

Lynn C. Thompson’s love of Filipino Martial Arts encouraged this collaboration with Mike Wallace on the Luzon (LOO-ZAHN) folder. Inspired by several balisongs in Lynn’s collection, but functioning as a flipper, the Luzons are a politically correct alternative for those who are unable to legally own balisongs. The Luzon’s blades are comprised of 8Cr13MoV Stainless, and expertly hardened to 57-58 Rockwell and feature sharp, strong, points with just enough belly to make them equally useful for cutting and slashing. You’ll be dreaming of the Philippines once you experience the Luzon’s bamboo-inspired handles, featuring concave segments that offer countless comfortable grip options. Made of glass-filled nylon (GFN), the Luzon’s handles are impervious to the elements, and are unlike any handle we’ve ever made before.

Handsome and budget friendly, and a breeze to flip open, the Luzons are a formidable choice for those going in harm’s way. Offering incomparable levels of safety, they’re equipped with a sturdy leaf-spring lock and a (patent-pending) secondary safety mechanism that, when it’s engaged is extremely resistant to shock and impact. Your fingers will be safe even under the worst conditions. Available in two sizes, both feature a lanyard hole and left and right GFN pocket clips for ambidextrous carry.
 
Nice design. Not sure about the clip but at least it looks smaller than on Grik and it's black. Would have liked to see AUS8A but can't deny the industry trend toward budget China knives with 8Cr13Mov.
 
Quite honestly, the Large Luzon will be a novelty for me. It will have the large Cold Steel fun factor to it but it will not be something I will be carrying. Sure we would like them to have higher end materials. But I think I will be fine with it being a budget knife

Thanks for the infomercial, but when are they coming out?

Somebody get cold steel to stop it with these clips. That is not the solution to a comfortable clip! I like the looks of the Luzon though. I would be interested to see how it works with that new secondary lock for the lock.

Still I think if you want a long slender knife from cold steel the Frenzy with its triad lock is the better choice. Luzon has a good looking blade though. I wonder how well one can wave it open.

The quick answer is they will be here when they get here. New models are delivered over the course of the year after sample production batches have passed LCT's stringent approval.

And that is another reason why I really like C.S. products. It was years ago, but if I remember correctly ? the Voyager knife line wasn't released until the quality was up to L.T.'s standards. Wasn't that why the Voyager line was held back for a year after its proposed release ?
