Annual Sebenza question

[BBQ BOY]

I can't remember but when are the annuals due out? Reason's are: 1) I want to possibly put a order in to have a damascus blade with the annual model and 2) when will they release what the handle material be? This will be a deciding factor wether or not I order the damascus. The early for me to know the better because I know damascus takes a while.

They usually don't come out until the end of the year, and I have not heard what handle materials are being used as of yet, What you should do is call them first thing in the morning to get placed on the waiting list, if possible. Then you can decide what you want when the time comes.

Thanks. I'll do that.

Annuals usually start showing up in October-November time frame from various CR dealers. I think they are on an allotment program of 1 set of each inlay (1 large and 1 small), unless the dealer is a long time friend of CR like Neil at True North. I may be wrong. The waiting list does fill up fast though, as dealers start getting in line 12 months early. If you want to order, that's the timeframe you have to contact CR.

The inlays are usually selected in the July-August timeframe.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that damascus is available anymore for the LE/Regular blade styles.
