Don’t put your money down if you are not comfortable putting it down and forgetting about it. Nathan has always delivered in a reasonable time. All of us that ask for these pre-orders very much appreciate them.

Nathan says there will be a wait and always remember possibly Friday sales where people will get one before yours arrives. No refunds and no sympathy around here!

Yes, you are right

Yes they have my money already, I wouldn't expect sympathy. Was not looking for it. Just patiently waiting and trying to figure out the system in the meantime. Like I said I'm used to down payments until the product is ready for production, then pay the rest.

I understand, you're mostly a patron of the BUSSE / Kin Knives and they operate differently which can also be summarized as more industry "standard" practices. You will also have to both understand and respect the facts that CPK operates differently and they march to their own beat. For a very long time, Nathan was vehemently opposed to doing preorders and literally had to be arm twisted into succumbing to the idea. It was either that, or lose out a lot of potential buyers who would not be able to make it to the Fridays Sales and/or Blade Shows if one operates on a FCFS basis. Talk about picking one's poison!

We don't talk about others' business practices on Nathan's subforum. It's his business, he define his terms very clearly and he is a terrible salesman (I mean it in the most affectionate way :p) as he almost tries to refrain his customers from preorders as clearly demonstrated in his verbiage. Ultimately, his products speak for themselves and those who are not satisfied, seem to walk away quite gleefully with a few more $s in their pockets after they sell what they don't want / like at a premium on the secondary market.

Carothers business including sales, confirmation and setting up payments are held on a Public forum. This is where I ask when they get my business. I get it though. I will edit my post and ask less questions. I want to keep you happy Casinostocks

Happy New Year.

I'm a nobody! As long as your business is available and then both welcome and appreciated by the powers-that-be, that ought to be a win-win for the parties which really matter.

IMO though, you're rough around the edges so I'm going to try to chamfer and polish you up nicely ;)

Happy New Year :)

I wouldn't bet on it. Have you ever seen a kid on a skate board with his arm or leg in a cast?

Parkour was originally a way to get through a military obstacle course and quickly and efficiently as possible.

What military other than the French?

I thought parkour was some sort of fancy way to maneuver from different locations kind of like a gymnast.
