Growing old waiting for a knife?

[Wolvenstein]

Hi

Read somewhere about a knifemaker, a very good one, with a backlogg around 10 years. How do you handle this kind of problem? You cant just wait that long,, can you? Is there a black market for selling queuenumbers?
Just curious

I have trouble waiting for the UPS truck over a week. Ten years ? I'd go crazy(ier).

You'll wait the ten years if you want a Bill Moran from the kingpin himself. I think that he has also stopped accepting orders.
Happy Trails,
Dan

Ten year waits, or even one year waits, are one reason why custom knife dealers can make a living.
