Well, I have to say that Robert Couture is one talented man. I got a box today filled with the first six WWIIIs, and folks, these things are even MORE than I’d hoped they’d be. Not only are the handles finished with obvious care and attention to detail, but Robert has mastered the art of the ergodynamic handle – they are truly a pleasure to hold. My hat is off to you, Robert.

I’m sure you’re all wondering who the lucky six people are. So, without further ado (no, I’m not one of them) . . .

Number 5: M. Travis
Number 16: Tad Stratton
Number 10: Bern Milligan
Number 6: Marcus
Number 11: B Boyd
Number 13: Joseph Mead

You lucky six won’t be getting your knives just yet . . . tomorrow they are off to Edgeworks for sheathing, so I’d put the delivery date at about two weeks away.

A few details: The swell in the center portion of the handle is so comfortable to hold - and even the lanyard hole made it through and is perfectly located. I'll try to get some close-up pics taken to tantalize you all!

I know I'm going to have trouble mailing all of these things out!

WHERE'S THE PICTURES??????????

Any word on final cost yet??????
 
Not trying to be a mystery man, but I haven't got an invoice from Robert yet, so I have no idea. I know it won't be less than the stated target of $150 - that's for sure. But it also won't be more than $200.00 (unless I find out that Robert used platinum screws or something!). Even at the highest price, though, these babies are well worth it. They make the Cold Steel khuks look . . . well . . . meek in comparison.

And everybody will get an email when their model is ready for shipment, so they know exactly what to do.

Guys: So sorry that I don't have pics up yet. I can't seem to find my digital camera!!!!! But, the first six go off to Edgeworks today, along with all of the khukuris (HI and GH) sent to me for sheathing).

I have no idea how long it'll take, but I expect to get them back within a week or two.

Regards,

Craig.
