I just pre-ordered a Proficient! anyone else? :)
Anyone pre-order any of the other mid-year releases?

I am pretty pumped about this one. :D

Hi Chinook3 - This one is a full flat grind. Enjoy your Serrata.
 
Hi Sal -
Any chance you could share a picture of the sheath for this beauty? Also, are they getting close? :D
Thanks,
Dave
 
Hi Dave,

I heard they are on the way in. Still have to go through QC, numbering for collectors and ship premiers, then we ship out.

Wow - That is great news! I understand the numbering for collectors, but what does ship premiers mean? :confused::confused:

I'm going to guess that they are top-tier dealers that get their orders shipped first. Just a guess, though.
 
We have certain customers (dealers and distributors) that have committed to take a certain number of everything we make. We ship them first.

Congrats! I really want one but I'm not a huge fixed blade guy and for how much use it'd see I'm not sure it's worth the money to me but man is it a beautiful blade!

Thanks for the clarification. Now I just hope that the company that I pre-ordered with is a premier supplier!:)
 
I've pre-ordered the Positron, but I've no idea when it's supposed to be released. It's almost September, so hopefully soon.
 
Not sure about everyone else, but I just got a surprise UPS parcel from somewhere in CO. :D

For comparison, here is the contents next to the G10 BushcraftUK

It cuts REALLY well. Sheath is the same as the Bushcraft. Weight is noticeably lower, but still a solid knife in the hand thanks to the full tang. Balance is a little bit further back as a result of the flat grind, not fully offset by the lighter scales. Still good. Did I mention it cuts really well? The edge angle isn't a full wood working one, but it bites very well. Looking forward to putting it through a lot of paces in the coming months.

Hope you all get yours soon. Looking forward to hearing what other folk think.

Cheers

Wow! Thanks for the great pictures. I just got an email notice, that mine is on the way!
 
I received an email from BladeHQ this morning saying that they had them in stock. I really want one of these, just can't justify the price. I understand that the materials used are top notch, but it is an expensive knife. Maybe it will come down some and I'll pick one up.
