Thanks Patti and others. I think the Bowie was part of the confusion as I was unclear if it was a prototype or a planned production knife. Since one model was listed at the website with 2 versions and both are unavailable, I figured I better join the forum and get the "Skinny" from those who know...users and loyal customers. I did notice that no one is complaining about quality just availability. That makes me think I am in the right place.
