Sounds like a headache.

I'm sure this won't set back production at all.

Shane had to leave so Guy could have a new excuse for the show

It looks like there's thunderstorms and rain for Meridian, Idaho on Sunday.
There's no way they can get anything done this week.

Great news everyone! After another month, Survive moved one step closer to clearing their 2015 backlog by 98.7% to 98.7%.

2015: 0.0% in 1 month
2016: 3.5% in 1 month
2017: 0.0% in 1 month
2018: 0.0% in 1 month
2019: 1.0% in 1 month
2020: 0.4% in 1 month
2021: 0.7% in 1 month

*This table shows the percentage of orders that have been fulfilled from each year. The last open orders from 2015-2019 are for the large blades or GSO-5.1s. All of those models are at finishing now so those years will all be to 100% within the next few months.

The best part of their disclaimer is that "the next few months" can mean any month... of any year.

Yet the preorders that were suppose to stop keep going after a delay. They are taking orders for the 5.1 in Magnacut while the orders from 2015 & 2016 in 3V are still not made. My guess is that 90% of the orders from 2015 or 16 were refunded so they really don't have as many knives to make as they led on. They are in bad financial state but they have new gear all the time. They don't work 1/2 the week and own many other things. Sure the boxed and ready stuff most likely will go out long before the preorders or 2nds go out. Everything Guy does reminds me of Mr. Wongburger on South Park.

Looking at a post on another forum from 2016

Lots of products are being shipped out. I'm excited to see how the 5.1 compares to the 6.

And a look at the new GSO 4.7 (and BSS5)

Just stop………please, just stop.

All this stuff is meaningless until the people who’ve been waiting years get their friggin knives. No one should be giving these guys business until they make good on past promises.

Speaking as one who finally received his 5.1 after 6 (?) years, I can tell you this: the current 5.1 doesn't even compare favorably with the earlier 5.1 that I have from way back in 2015 (or '16; I don't care enough about which it was to go back and look). It just doesn't. It isn't ground as far up, so the primary bevel is steeper. Not as slicey. So not as good IMO. The handle area is larger, which is another negative for me, because the original handle fit me almost perfectly. About the only thing that could be considered possibly an improvement (for me) is supposedly it is 3V (not delta), whereas my earlier one is 20CV (supposedly).
