Bob called me earlier today to let me know that the SIFU's are just around the corner, literally.
We're looking at 2-3 weeks till delivery of them, and since they were conceived right here on BladeForums.com, he's decided that we can lay claim to the first 50. This is the entire first run, and the next run will not be available until 90 days later.
Specs are as follows: The blade is ATS-34, with a stone washed finish, and the handle is G-10 (green or black). 12" OAL, 5.4" Blade, 6.74" handle, with ambi thumb studs, 301 hardened steel (RC43) blade stop, with an estimated 740 lbs on the lock. The knife can be right or left handed, you pick, but we need to know fast.
Oh yeah, and each blade is hand ground, as they do not have tooling yet to machine grind them (it's being built). So, quite possibly, these could be the only hand ground Sifu's available.
As stated earlier, the price on these knives will be $179.95 each. This is $10 less than the MSRP is going to be ($189.95, $199.95 for Black T), with hand ground blades on this first run.
If we don't get a minimum number of orders, the knives will go to the distributors, and not BladeForums.com, and I know everyone would hate that because then we wouldn't be able to do more things for you guys
Anyhow, if you are interested, the page again is: http://www.bladeforums.com/store/knives/sifu.html
