When to expect the new LGRE Ladybug

[Copywriter]

Saw that the 2011 catalogue has a new ladybug featuring a FFG blade of ZDP-189 and a BRG handle. I'm so drooling over that. When can I expect that and will it just be a sprint model or a regular production? How can I best make sure I get one as soon as they come out?

Thanks.

Its location in the catalog, with the other Ladybugs rather than on the Sprint Run page, suggests it will be either regular or limited production rather than a Sprint. Its inclusion in the catalog suggests Spyderco hopes to have it on dealer shelves within the next 7 months or so. But, unless it's already reached Golden and is undergoing QC inspection at this time, when it will actually become available is anybody's guess.

Your answers make perfect sense, but it's nice to have my suspicions confirmed. Still, I guess I was hoping to hear that it would be out in a few months rather than 6-7 months. Half a year feels like forever!

Keep in mind that I didn't say 6 to 7 months, I said sometime within the next 6 to 7 months. It could hit the shelves next month as easily as it could hit them in June.

Hitting the shelves now - mid April.
