This is huge and any ideas if and when they will ship to the states? I work for a small shop and would love to get these in.
Should be in the USA in roughly 14-20 years. That is the time frame all USA patents hold copyright infringements in the USA. Since Edge steel came out roughly 3-4 years ago I'm sure Bauer pulled the patents on it 1-2 years before hand. So great news, your probably down to about 8-10 year wait at this point.
The fact that it is available in Canada means its only a matter of time until it leaks its way down to the USA. A sticker on the outside of the package isn't going to prevent Canadian business's from making money by shipping it to the US
