CAS Hanwei has just been notified by the forge that they were unable to recover the tooling on the popular Tiger and Kami Series was damaged in the massive fire.

 They have notified us that they will continue to make these, but different fittings will be in their place. We do not know as of yet what the new fittings will look like, and we wanted to let you know ASAP that the quantities they have currently in stock are the very last of their kind. CAS Hanwei are also uncertain as to when the new versions will be available, as no eta has been promised to us yet.
