I just ordered a limited edition bk16!

So I went out and checked the front porch this morning...no Becker Box. WTH, it's been almost 2 days since I hit the Buy button...surely they weren't serious about the ''7-10 business days''? were they? WERE THEY!!!! OMG...they DID mean it! oh no.
 
So what happens if they get mad that the 15 and 17 aren't selling? Think they'll just send one of each to each person that ordered a 16, for free? *end dream*

I'm gonna go skin the UPS truck with my BK2 if it doesn't get here by 4:00 TODAY! I can't wait to fondle and abuse it!
 
Anyone get a shipping notice? Does smkw send them? I've ordered a lot, but never from them before.
 
The 17 has sold the most.

150 17's , 177 16's and 234 15's are what is left currently. 198 have been sold all together.

The 198 sold total was based on 250 of each which has been pointed out below is probably not correct.

The amount left is accurate.

Congrats on being maybe the first person (other than Moose) to get your hands on a FPR BK16 and a big thanks for posting all the pictures for us to enjoy.

Would you mind taking a few comparison pics of your new BK16 with either the BK11 or BK14? I'm curious to see since Ethan essentially designed it to be a scaled up necker.

Kinda' rushed these, but believe you can see the comparison between the FPR BK16 and the BK14. To me, the BK14 is a shade small for ease of use. Perhaps the promised new scales will help in this regard.

The BK16 is just a good size for an all-around utilitarian fixed blade knife. Dunno' about using this FPR heavily, but the FFG in the regular production run will get a lot of use. :D
 
I hold my doubts about the 17 selling more, I'm guessing they had less of those to start with, but I am wrong a lot.

Where do you see these numbers?

If you add more to your cart than they have for sale they tell you how many are left. I added 250 of each knife to my cart and it says " there are only 150 left"

Good point, I am assuming they had 250 of each but I guess we don't really know. I am expecting the 16 to sell the fastest also.

>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

Woooohoooo, that must mean that it's been sent out since there's actually a tracking number. Order Status check from SMKW now shows UPS info, before it only said that it hadn't been shipped.

I didn't see the coupon code til after I ordered, so it was only a $5 difference for the 3-5 day shipping. Not sure if the USPS they use gives tracking info or not.

EDIT: no I have not received another email yet, so you may just want to check their site with your order number.


Also, thanks for the photos ralphtt :thumbup:

Hey Everybody......

Yes, there are only about two to two hundred fifty of the roll stamped tweeners (each)......

Sounds like Ethan didn't have an exact figure either so I think that's certainly a possibility.
 
I'm just gonna assume I wont see my 16 until next week. If it's earlier I can be pleasantly suprised
 
Was hoping to get an email today saying it shipped when I got home from work, but, it was a no go.
 
Mine switched to a tracking number as well. I ordered on March 10th around 10:30pm CST.
