Ok so we now know this not a limited release it will be a standard production model and the scales are indeed walnut.
Also, pre-order is available now from several dealers. (I recommend Tomars). If you dont get one from the first batch the next batch wont be coming until after the new year. So get on it if its going to be a Christmas gift!
Here are some threads from Bladeforums you should check out.

Still not sure if this will be a limited release from the Kabar custom shop State & Union like the bk98 was. Hopefully this is a full production model. Or perhaps this version with the woods scales, clear coated 1095, and leather sheath will be the custom shop version followed by a standard black coated, laser etch, with ultrimid handle scales as the regular model?
If I remember what Ethan told me correctly, these wood scales on the bk62 should be walnut. The original Kephart scales were walnut and he wanted it to be the same on the Kabar model.
No official release date yet, but please don't bug Kabar about it.
