2013 BF Traditional Forum knife update

Looks fantastic to me. Been wanting my first congress pattern of one sort or another for a while, putting it off while getting other patterns first (don't have many knives yet, only one slipjoint, so I'm exploring), but I might wait and make this my first congress. A great knife for my first BF knife. I'm curious, being a new poster and never buying a BF knife before, how big are the production runs? I'm just hoping I don't miss out if they sell quick, especially with people certainly buying multiples at once (not a complaint by the way, I don't blame people for wanting more than one of these).
 
Here are some of the numbers, I'm sure someone will come in to fill the blanks,

2006 - 43 ring knives
2007 - 57 cannitlers
2008 - 50 stockmen
2009 - 113 barlows
2010 - 131 moose
2011 - 191 EO Jack, (according to GECs production totals)
2012 - 250 Wharncliff Trapper (approx)

I saw these pics earlier. I'm excited to see what the finished product will look like.

That is wicked nice, I will be down for at least two. Great job to all involved. Really looking forward to hearing about the scale selection as well.

It took forever to get these first three years locked down and commited to with such low production numbers by the time 2009 came around with was out and everybody wanted one, we should pass 250 easy with this year's knife.
 
Thanks for the update, I'm in.

I don't understand why the nick doesn't typically extend further on EO / pinchable blades, more texture to grab. Please clue me in.
 
Here's all but the 2012 GEC Wharncliff Trapper.
