Unlike some manufacturers, Dan doesn't give us a tentative production schedule. He likes to surprise us. But he does pay attention to the customers and read the forum. When a lot of posters mentioned a how great a 3/16" thick YK would be, he came out with one. When many of us asked for a 7.5" chopper, he came out with the SOD in three flavors. I would guess maybe four or five new models for 2009, but who knows? Maybe some of those will be releases of previous models, like the DF. Many of us are hoping for a really big chopper like a Kukri or maybe a bolo. Others are wanting some neck knives. We will see.
