Ok, now that paypal is an option, I think I want one of these. Just want to confirm a couple of things first. I will be getting a black canvas handle shipped to Canada. Total cost will be $125.00 right?. Do I need to add anymore for paypal fees? Also, the standard sheath include, is it neck only or is there a belt loop on it? Finally, what address do I send the paypal to? Sorry for all the confusion, just wanted to verify my info before I send payment. I guess I also should have asked if there is any more spots open first....Thanks.

Total for BCM shipped to Canada will $130 via Paypal (dan @ kosterknives . com)
Standard kydex sheath included with every knife, handles or not. If you want a belt-loop kydex sheath...will be $35 additional.
I think the list is first-come-first-served...so as long as you get 'er in there before the others arrive...you'll be good to go. :thumbup:

Wow, I was just going to ask this!:thumbup:
If I send you $35 to upgrade the sheath now, will the new sheath ship with the knife? It sounds like you'll be doing the extra sheaths separately. I like the extra sheath, it looks very comfortable for waist carry.

$36.50 via paypal = thanks!
Yes - and will be set up for vertical, horizontal and IWB carry.
Yes - I will be doing extra sheaths before sending the knife out. Brian and Kevin are putting together the list for me and keeping all the details.
Remember guys - send copies of your paypal payments to Brian/Kevin...as well as any changes, details or extras.
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
I think I may have screwed up the Paypal notification to you. I noticed that I wasn't on the list yet (Which is a pretty good sign that I did screw up). I sent you an email via BF with all my details just in case. If you are willing to give me your email address, I can forward the actual Paypal Payment Received mail. Sorry for the cock-up.

All payments have been forwarded. :thumbup:
Shotgun - O1 is a great steel - I use a lot of it. But the only advantage it has over CPM 3V is ease of sharpening/polishing and perhaps the cost of the steel. CPM 3V is tougher (impact strength), has better edge-holding/wear-resistance, and is somewhat rust-resistance (7% chromium). It is a "super steel" and has no true competitor. Other steels may do better in a specific task, but no other is as good "all-around". And it is easier to sharpen than D2 or S30V.

I also may wish to upgrade the handle, gosh that green looks good. What is the hole size in the blade blank? 1/4, 3/8? I still have a couple of months right?

1/4" in the front, 3/8" in the back (with a few thousandths wiggle-room for a lanyard).
The skeletonized version will be done within 4-6 weeks....and the handled-versions, another 4-8 weeks after that.
(current projection estimate only...not a prediction
)
But if you want handles on it....best to let us know before I start the glue-up run...to not miss out on it.
