You mentioned no more Magnacut FK3s, but will there potentially be anymore FK3s in D3V in upcoming Friday sales?
Sweet thought so

I know
I've been saying it for years
But this time will be different
Hey Nathan,
When ordering a knife through your preorders, I usually add a few special sexy fixins above basic. Swedge, satin, etc.
Without a preorder, I imagine any suped-up EDCs offered up in the Friday sales would be very desirable and pretty damn difficult to obtain for those without Top Fuel internet speeds.
Is it just “tough luck” for the non-preorder knife offerings, or could there be an option to add special touches to a knife claimed in the Friday sales?
That’s the best news I’ve heard todayYou raise a good point. Some of these special options we do don't really lend them selves to Friday sales.
We probably do need to do some kind of a pre-order. But right now is not a good time for that. Once we have the last of the Shivs out we can reassess.
His hot dogs ain't bad either!LOL this Nathan guy is the funniest mofo I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.
You posted it now. No take backsies.No I'm serious. We used to do 400 - 600 and send half of those to a pre-order. But the field knives, we've done over 800. Probably closer to 900. And we're going to go back and do more even though the sales are slowing down. I want to have shelf stock. I want people to be able to go on the site and buy what they want without any drama. I'm going to go back into production on that pattern so we can have some available for people without having to jump through hoops. I never wanted people to have to jump through hoops.
And we're making a lot of these EDC also.
Right now we are scrambling because shiv is late and we need to get spooled back up on the K20 sword production. I really wanted to have 10-in choppers by the end of the year. We are awfully damn busy right now and the complexity of a pre-order does not fit in to our production right now. It's complicated. They're complicated. But it is an important part of our culture here, where people can order specialty items and we set it all up where we can crank those out like a short order cook. I understand it's important to people and I'm going to continue to accommodate. It's just tricky fitting it in sometimes.
Seriously though. I want to have field knives and EDC in basic configurations on the shelf and available on the website without people having to pull their hair out to get what they're wanting.
... Still need to do the skinner, dagger, folder, brush cutlass and kukri. Maybe an axe...
Had some last night, as a matter of fact...along with onion rings and a cold one.His hot dogs ain't bad either!
