If you did not request your knife in this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=674125 then DO NOT send payment for a RAT Pack knife. We will simply refund your money and cancel your order. We've had a few folks ordering knives they did not request in that thread. We are not trying to be a hard-ass about this but putting together such a project is a lot of work, especially with everything else we have going on, so if rules are not adhered to it changes everything on the production quantity and scheduling. We apologize if this pisses you off but we're trying to deal with 200 individual orders here and it's actually more work than we should have agreed to. This will be the only run of RP knives, simply because it's way too much hassle to do when people don't follow the guidelines. Again, not trying to sound like a hard-ass, but we have to draw the line somewhere 
Let me explain the process:
1) we had to let Shon know a specific amount of knives. So we did that in the sign-up thread. Everyone who had a RP # could request a knife. If we would have gotten 300 requests we would have run 300 knives. The thread stayed up long enough so everyone had a chance to request a knife. We had to have a cut-off date so we could get the knives to everyone before Christmas.
2) You order the knife. Paypal sends us a notification.
3) I forward the notification to Katie and also compile a list on this end
4) Katie and I compare the lists each day to make sure we are correct and have not missed anyone.
5) Katie also compares the list to the thread to make sure that every knife ordered is on the thread so no one will miss out who requested a knife. (Remember we only have 200 knives so we can't bend the rules)
6) Next step will be shipping. Again, Katie and my list will have to match
....hopefully everyone understands now that this is not as simple as plunking down 75 bucks for a knife.
Also, please do NOT email me when you order a knife. I get emails directly from PayPal and then we post the knife numbers that were ordered. This is the official list of who will get a knife: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=680964 It is updated regularly. If you are not on that list then you do not get a knife. Please note we have deleted some numbers because they did not request a knife. We will be refunding their $$$.
Now, with all that said, I think we will have some folks who will not order their knife, even though they requested it on the thread. So, that means we should have some spare knives from the 200 piece run. DO NOT start emailing Katie or me asking to be put on a waiting list since that's probably the fastest way to get on the bottom of the list
But I am saying that at some point we may open up the remaining knives for those who did not request one on the thread mentioned above.
We appreciate you guys. We really do, but projects like these have to have some type of rules so they don't turn into monsters or become unfair to those who followed the rules.
I am going to close this thread but if the mods want to chime in here about any of this, feel free to do so. Katie, you should be able to post here under Shotgunner's name, if you feel the need to.
