Just went live for ECA. 1 SF Kwaiken ordered. Thank you Mr. Emerson!

Dirty, rotten, scoundrel.^

UDIVER · Jan 25, 2017

Ummmm, out of stock already???

cigarrodog · Jan 26, 2017

They went quickly. There were only(I believe), 60 SF and 60 Cerakote Black Kwaikens on this run. Perhaps they'll eventually move the Kwaiken from an ECA quick run to an unpredictable Limited Availability Tier.

Correction. The Kwaiken is now showing in Limited Availabilty, as Sold Out. One of the best reasons to join ECA.

Whaaaat?????

8 months of waiting...pushing this thread and checking the website and it's over...they're gone?

:grumpy:

Saw that as well... Guess some ECA member will make their yearly membership fee off me when they hit the exchange. LOL.

That's just the thing I'am an ECA member and the knife was sold out an hour after the email went out......damn haha

I hear you. Like most, I've missed out on plenty. Now I push the buy now as soon as it comes out. My hope for those who didn't get one, is that there will be more in the future.

Well I was able to pick up another ECA Emerson from a few years back today on the forums that I've been looking for, sooooo missing out on the Kwaiken yesterday ended up being bittersweet!

Either way, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next offering.

Congratulations. What did you get? I've noticed that the majority of knives I've coveted reappear on the secondary eventually, and depending on market timing, at decent prices.

I picked up a BNIB Regiment.......which I've had bad luck trying to snag that last 3 or 4 on the market.

I've always liked those.

I missed out too. Congrats to everyone who scored.

AusLoX · Jan 27, 2017

Mine arrives tomorrow. Guess I should have driven to Emerson and picked it up instead.

AusLoX · Jan 28, 2017

And it's awesome. Probably going to switch out the thumbdisk to a
.45 bullet casing in honor of being #45 of 61.

Congratulations. Thanks for the images. That Kwaiken looks gorgeous.

Thanks [emoji106]. For those that missed out...I heard they might do 2 more runs so keep fingers crossed.

Boru13 · Jan 28, 2017

Just curious, is it a double or single detent ?

rpn · Jan 28, 2017

Congrats Aus...awesome looking. :thumbup:

One up on the exchange now but too much for me.

Hope they do another run soon.

Looks to be a single detent. Although the hole is tapped all the way through the blade. I don't see a secondary detent on the other side. The blade is super smooth similar to the Apache and PDW specwar. Butter.
