Here's an email I just sent out, I figured I'd just copy and paste the details here. P.M. me, post or email me if interested.
Thanks all,
MT
Thanks for your interest in a WSK or USK or both. Some of this email may not apply to you, but Im emailing over 2,000 people on the wait lists so its almost impossible to individually respond to each. So, Im sending out this email.
Ive got a run of around 100 WSKs and USKs that will be going forward as soon as I get the amount of people in that I need to cover the costs involved.
The first 100 people who respond and get their deposit in (see details below) will be guaranteed to get the knife they want.
They'll all be one steel (likely CPM 154), and the only handle options will be black G10, or Carbon Fiber ( *no rare hardwoods, ivory, bone etc...,) and Paul Long will hate me for this, but I'll put you in touch with him for a sheath since he's made all of them thus far.
Sorry to be so option limited on these, but if I'm running through 100+ of these, it won't be feasible to keep up with 100 different handles, steels etc...
These will all be hand ground etc..., I'm not machining them out.
There will be a deposit required (1/2 down, non refundable), and I will be placing the steel order within the next 2 weeks, so you have that long to round up the $.
Heres the details on the knives:
WSK:
Length: 12 inches (overall)
Weight: approximately 14 ounces
Steel thickness: ¼ inch
USK:
Length: 11.5 inches (overall)
Weight: approximately 13 ounces
Steel thickness: ¼ inch
Cost: WSK or USK in Black G10 575.00$ + Shipping (deposit of 287.50 due)
WSK or USK in Carbon Fiber 640$ + Shipping (deposit of 320$ due)
The above costs do not include a sheath (Kydex doesnt work well b/c of the gut hook).
Please respond and let me know if youre interested or not and how you want to do a deposit. I normally do not request deposits but I dont have a choice on this one as Im ordering a very large amount of steel and supplies for this project and I simply cant cover all those costs out of pocket.
The timeline on these will be something like this: once the steel is ordered it will be 3-4 weeks before the steel is all shipped, then expect another 3 weeks or so to get all the blanks cut. Once I get running on these (will start as soon as they get in) the time for production will range from 1-6 months or so (your order will be process in the order in which your deposit is received ).
This will be the only run I do for a while, so dont operate under the premise that if you dont get in on these, youll get one later. Later could be 3-4 years from now b/c of the demand for tactical folders.
If you have any questions, please let me know, and Im sorry for the form letter, its just that the demand is so high for these knives that I dont have much choice.
Just let me know if you want to proceed and I can get you the deposit details.
Thanks all,
MT
