We are sold out to the dealer network for the standard production run but the dealers may have them still available to the customer.
Gentleman, I don't mean to sound like a turd; but it is as simple as picking up the telephone and dialing a dealers number to get on a pre-order list for the first run through the dealer network.Ahh perhaps luck!
Any idea what dealer I can talk to that may still have a slot open?
RYP,We will be asking for payment this week and then releasing the unpaid ones shortly thereafter. Working on the site software as we speak.

I know I am getting one eventually. But does anyone know how much it weighs??
RYP, this knife sounds like it is going to be a real good one!! First time in a while I have been really super excited about one. I am on this one though.The coating on the regular run knives is the flat black milspec you are used to seeing on military weapons. The blade is sandblasted to drop the luster and then engraved and then anodized to prevent corrosion even in the engraved areas. The finish will mark but is very difficult to wear off. The edge of course and continual sharpening the D2 tool steel will wear it off.
The Limited edition knife will be German D2 tool steel, sand blasted, engraved with MR DP pattern (there is also the sterile version that only has the number on the top of the blade) then sputter coated with a Titanium Carbide coating to harden the steel and is very difficult to wear off.
The Titanium on both knives is a medium grey tumble finish and looks very, very nice. We are just finalizing and pushing the button. Gianni has done a spectacular job and shown great enthusiasm for this project despite my micro managing every aspect of the production. Thom over at Monster Blade Works is hard at work weaving the 250 Afghan Commemorative Campaign lanyard for the First Run and the project is on schedule.
The dpxgear.com site will be accepting payments on October 20th We will add a reasonable time before posting those folks who can't pay and the post the available numbers.
I am very, very happy with the rapid deployment system. I always hated how you had to fumble with folders and then worry if your folder would collapse under extreme rapid use.
I can confirm that the DPx HEST comes out open and locked out of your pocket. Its really quite impressive.
