Hey,
I might be able to help with some of the rumors, I've heard a few myself. lol
On the SK models, we have only done an experimental run so far, based on the GSO-4.1. They went well and we do plan on offering more SK models in the future. I have some big changes coming not too far down the road, so I'm not really willing to go into further detail yet. I do in fact have a GSO-12 and an M-12(machete) in the works but it will be a bit yet before I'll be able to get to those. The big blades are really expensive to produce.
There is a folder design that I hope to be able to bring to market sometime this year, as well as several other models. I've actually got 13 unique knife models in total that are all finalized and another 3 on the drawing board, that should be completed soon. Some are revisions of current models and others are completely new. I'm beyond excited about them and believe they represent some of my very best design work to date. We do have quite a bit of CPM-3V and CPM-20CV steel waiting to be cut into fixed blades and we do already have the blade steel for the folder. I will drop this teaser, the first production run of the folders will be offered in both CPM-20CV and CPM-S90V.
How fast we can get things done really just comes down to money. We're a really small company, so unless we are approached by a kind hearted millionaire investor who wants to help fast track our growth without wanting to hijack my company I've just got to be patient and grow a little bit at a time.
