George, did you get my order for the stronger springs for the single clamp with the newer style aluminum fixing units? I don't think I got a reply after the order. Also, is shipping really $9 for those little springs? Thank you so much.

I have sent messages through your website, but they dont seem to get to you, so I just posted here as you always reply and help me out on the forum.

Hi Shaun,
No, I just double checked your order to make sure it's just the springs. They will come to you in a regular envelope with two first class stamps. So we'll only charge $1.11 shipping. They will go out today.

Yes, gotta figure out why some emails through www.statesllc.com don't reach my regular inbox.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones,
George
 
Status update: We are still waiting for the remainder of the October bulk order from Tech Studio. New orders for K02 and K03 Wranglerstar kits and accessories will most likely be fulfilled in late-February.

May 2018 bring you and your loved ones joy, peace, health and happiness!
George

Russia needs to get next day or 2 day shipping! Amazon could assist with details for fast shipping. HA. Shipping from Russia is expensive enough as is. I can't imagine what a 2 day shipment would cost. Yes, this is annoying, but it is worth the wait. I waited 2 months to get my K02 kit, then ordered more gadgets from them and waited another 5 or 6 weeks. It was worth the wait. It is great that States is trying to help relieve this delay by stocking some of their stuff here in the USA, but he can not sell what he has not received. Hopefully STATES gets caught up on orders and is able to build his stock up in the future.

STATES, have you heard anything about when the convex attachment may be available?

Hi Shaun,
No. To be honest, we only get answers to questions that we ask and never get prelim info on new items. I prioritize my nagging to trying to get the items ordered at the end of September which were supposed to be delivered in mid-October. Their explanation on the delay is lack of availability of stones from their supplier. However, I've received two different answers in the last two weeks about why we haven't received the rest of the October shipment which cleared customs on 19 Dec.

Thanks to you and everyone else for your immense patience.
George
 
Okay. Despite assurances that the rest of our order will come as soon as the items are found, I'm concluding that we will not receive the rest of the October order of sharpeners and accessories. We are extremely sorry to those who have been waiting.

New information: Tech Studio just asked us for our next bulk order. We have doubled, yet again, the number of sharpeners while keeping the number of accessories the same. If we get the number ordered, we will be able to fulfill all the past orders and have some in inventory. They are trying to handle the order differently so as to increase the likelihood we will actually receive it in a timely manner. I will keep you posted.

Yes he does. George is always helpful.
The TSPROF sharpeners would sell so much better I think if the availability was much better and there was not a multi month wait. Even considering the wait I had, I have no regrets and love my K-02 sharpener.

Yes there great sharpeners, I have mine with lots of upgraded stones for sale so if any one is looking for one without the wait hit me up.
 
There is no doubt in mind that TechStudio needs to smarten up big time on shipping unit's faster and fulfilling their order's they have taken from George at STATES,it almost makes you wonder if TechStudio is not just selling the unit's they promise to George because of coarse they will make more money selling them direct.

Either way they better smarten up soon because who is going to buy a sharpener from Russia and every time you need something such as a new accessory or a replacement you have to wait months to get it when they should have stock in the USA for their customers.

I know thing's are different in Russia then Canada and the USA but they better understand soon people may just say who needs them and their sharpening system's when there are other options and people can actually purchase them rather then just look pictures of them.
 
I also sent this link to George at STATES and I got a real laugh out of thinking to myself with all the problems TechStudio is having fulfilling orders now they are trying to sell them threw Kmart,maybe that's where all of George's missing order's having been going to,I really thought at first this was a joke or something or someone was making a clone but it appears to be the real deal.

Thank you so much for this link! Blade Forums isn't really known for getting laughs, but I opened this, scratched my head, and just imagined who exactly might be looking for bargain shoes, cake baking supplies on sale, oh, and perhaps the highest quality precision blade sharpening system ever created.

I'll stick with George when it comes to my sharpening supplies!
 
I thought it was pretty funny myself when I seen because I was not sure if it was a misprint on their website or what deal was.

Hi everyone,
Well, as Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!". Tech Studio found most of the remainder of our order at the warehouse. Most people who ordered K03's back in September and October will be getting theirs starting next week. All the accessories will be arriving next week, also. Please go to our website to see up-to-the-minute stock on hand.

Thanks for all your patience.
George
 
Is there a recommendation regarding the Basic K02 or Standard K02 kits?

Any specific components worth purchasing?

The K02 Wranglerstar kit contains all the basic components you need to start sharpening. I do recommend buying an AngleCube digital protractor to calibrate the manual angle scale on the unit. If you have filet knives to sharpen, you will also want to get the double filet clamps. If you have scissors to sharpen, you will also want to get the scissors attachment (clamp). This should cover all your basic needs.
 
when you buy accessories, make sure they have the correct revision attachment point for the unit you have. There are a few different types. STATES will let you know what version you need.

I do recommend getting the narrow stone holder and some narrow stones if you plan to sharpen small blades or recurve blades. Comes in very handy for small slip joint knives like Case pocket knives or similar.
 
I am still wanting and waiting for a convex edge attachment to be available. If it is not available by this summer, I will just make my own.
 
I just ordered from Russia the new convex edge attachment kit. I am excited to give it a try when it gets here.
