I saw on another board that Kingpin is coming out with a new blank made by Century Rods in england. Right now only comes in a 13'6 3 piece in either 4-8 or 5-10. Sells for $250 for the blank and 650 for the full build. Here is a little writeup on it.

Two rods have been designed, which will be a fit on any stream where Steelhead migrate. These rods
will be ideal in all watersheds of the Great Lakes. The 5-10 will be suitable for most western high
gradient streams .The rod you choose depends on the size of streams you fish.
13’6” long, extremely light, but with significant power through the mid and butt sections, these rods will
definitely turn heads! They are available in two versions, 4-8lb and 5-10 lb.
They are truly a beautiful rod with metallic accent threads, and brass fittings, but were honestly
designed with function foremost in mind. They have an impressive list of components.
The latest cloth and resins from leading manufacturers like DuPont and 3M. Alps Titanium/SIC guides
and hook keeper, Portuguese Flor grade cork with composite cork accents, brass winding check made
by Kingpin, quality sliding rings to grip the reel foot, impressive guide wraps with trim accents, and a
Kingpin brass logo inset into the butt of the rod.
These rods are manufactured in England to the highest standards, by true craftsmen.
Here is the technical data;
Weight of 4-8lb blank -101g / 5-10 – 103g
Weight of finished factory rod 4-8 – 179g, 5-10 – 181g
Length, 13’6”, 3 pieces

Nice looking rods and blanks. From what I know they will be around $650 for the built rod, not sure how much for the blank.
