Grimsmo Rask 2nd production run??

[uilleann]

Anybody know what the latest plans are of the next production run of the Rask? I had a short PM conversation with them, a month or so ago, and he mentioned something about controlling the quantity so they did not get so overcome with orders like the last time. They were thinking of maybe doing a lottery with a more manageable quantity of knives. But he gave no indication of timing. Anybody have any more recent info?

My understanding is that they intend to produce what they want and then simply release for sale, so they don't develop a backlog or get stuck in a rut making a bunch of knives the don't really want to be working on. So, in the future you won't really get to order/specify the exact knife that you want from them.

I had a recent conversation with John and he said things will start to become more available in the next few months. They also want to make things more available to drive down the secondary prices.
I imagine folks who spent $$$$$ on a piece will try to re-coupe there investment before it's too late.
Triple original cost is a bit crazy, for anything IMHO. (I'm sure someone is saying "it is what ever people are willing to pay" in their head right now) true..
