Actually there was a last call with the SOD.

From Nov 24, as posted by the wonderful Renee

"Time to say good bye to the SOD. It will be gone within the net 10 days, so if you are holding off you better get your order in! I would expect that this knife will not be available again for at least another 2 years and maybe even longer!! This is your warning, don't miss out!"

I believe it was the 30th, or 1st before they closed her up.

You make excellent points knifeguy.
