Knife Options/upgrade info:

Updates to the status of this knife project will be posted here by Dan, Brian or Me along the way. The steel has to be ordered, cut, heat treated, ground and finished. The current working estimate of this knife is 4 months out.

Last but not least, this project is limited to only 70 pieces and #1 and #2 are taken for certain by Brian Jones and me. That means only 68 more will be made and they will go quickly. Don't miss out! Once your payment is received, your name will be added to the list.

Here's the list of people who said maybe or that they were definitely in. There are already 57 here, plus 2 for Kevin and I, so, if everyone of these is spoken for by actual payment, then only 16 pieces will remain! But, to reserve your knfe, you must be within the first 73 to pay for your order. NAMES IN RED BOLD HAVE CONFIRMED THEY ARE "IN" AND SENDING PAYMENT. Those in non-red bold confirmed, and will get knives pending payment if knives are still available.

I'm definitely in - I'd like to claim #7 if at all possible. I'll get the money order out sometime in the next week.

No problem - btw, I thought Dan Koster lived in Arkansas? ( address above is listed as Gentry, AK - not Gentry, AR)

Took care of that typo! Alright, looks good to me now!

Just confirming that I am in. Payment to follow up to Kevin.

Thanks to Brian, Kevin, and especially Dan for all the work you guys are doing to bring this together. Dan's a fantastically talented knife maker who demands a lot of himself and delivers some very functional hard use blades. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Tony, your word is good with me, but mainly you volunteer a good deal of your time here as a mod in exchange for no compensation. I am keeping one aside for you to purchase, in order to make up for that.
 
I'm going to pass on this one. Have sufficient knives for my needs at this time, need to focus on other gear, not to mention food, tuition, gas, etc. right now. There are other knife designs that interest me a lot more right now as well.

Y'all be happy with these things and USE THEM!
