When is the ZT 0560 Tigerstripe supposed to come out?

[d2eux]

BladeHQ lists it as "coming soon" but no specific date given. Any word on expected release date or still TBA?

Also, I tried looking up the 0560 'tigerstripe' at other online retailers for preorder but can't seem to find it. Will this be a BladeHQ exclusive?

Still waiting on pics, should look great!!

I wouldn't expect to see variants like that until 2nd quarter of next year - don't hold me to that either

We're just about to get the very first 0560's going on the line, so the variants will be a little longer.

I think Newgramn knives has them too. I doubt we see them out for a while.

Any updates on the release? Thomas W said he didnt know anything about a tigerstripe variant.

Also, not to sound like an ignoramus, but how come the 0560/61 doesn't feature the "spanto" grind? I know Rick invented it but he also invented the lockbar stabilizer and XM-18 bladeshape, which the collaboration features. Was the grind something he did not want to license out?

No other details available at this time."

From on down in that same thread from Thomas.

I wouldn't expect TS variations anytime soon, as we are still working towards getting caught up on backorders.

Shucks did not read down far enough. Thanks
