I'm guessing retired. Almost all the models were discontinued out, so I figure too they're axing the line. Only newer models like the B2 and CS3 remain. I was really skeptical about them, until I got my C2 for 50% off on the LM site. For light EDC (not the industrial-duty stuff I do around the farm), it's perfect. I'd really like one of the bigger models now. But, I'd go with the older ones. One, the action on my Juice is really stiff on all the tools. I can feel it grinding even after cleaning and oiling. And then there's the too short for the frame blade--I like the shape, but it just feels like a broke blade someone reprofiled.
