Blade HQ restock times?

[Charles Stevenson]

Does anyone know how long it typically takes Blade HQ to restock knives that are not limited edition, etc.? I'm looking to get a CJRB Ria in Micarta, and they have the best price by far, but it's out of stock. Thanks!

changes.

there is a shortages in everything right now from people to materials. also when items get restocked the price isn't always the same as it was. dont count on that being a guarantee.

I think you need to search some other vendors. Found it in stock at several places for the same price as BHQ and one was was even cheaper.

True, but I'm up in Canada and the shipping is usually quite expensive, whereas at Bladehq it's around $13

In my experience, knife restock for standard models takes awhile, even the fastest can take 4-6months and some companies like Protech takes a long time.

If you value your time, then better off buying it elsewhere (maybe even here) to enjoy your knife sooner. When a knife goes out of stock, I typically dont ever expect it to come back.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

Not at all, I appreciate the advice; I'll give it a month or two but if not I'll just get it elsewhere.

Thanks!

Well here's the update; I found the Kizer Guru on sale on BladeHQ, selling at $99 where the MRSP is around $240. This isn't a knife I would ever be able to afford otherwise, so I went for it and bought this one!
