I ordered the battle grade team gemini and am curious what the turnarounds on the battle grade offerings have been thus far. I know the site says 4-14 weeks so I was wondering if it tends to lean more towards the 4 or the 14. That also gives me a good timeline on how long I have to pay off the knife.
thanks gents.
 
I would say no less than 8 weeks but more likely 12-16 weeks.

I too am still waiting for a BG TG...
 
The knives I ordered in August and September have shipped. That includes BG ADs ordered in August and received a couple weeks ago, and TRASH-1s ordered 9/21 and scheduled to arrive today. The one I ordered in October (a Battle Saw ordered on 10/15) and November (lots of things) haven't hit the CC yet.
 
I'd also expect the newer offerings to take longer. In the old days when there'd just be one or may two knives available, and they'd stay up for months, people had a lot more time to spread out their orders. Maybe the novelty of the new knife every week will wear off pretty soon (or committed hogs will just run out of available cash), but for now, I'd expect them to have built up a pretty good backlog of orders. I know I've ordered more knives in the last two months than I have in the last two years, and I doubt I'm the only one.

This is the same for me, I had 3 Busse and Kin before July this year, now when all are delivered I will have 13 Busse/Kin...and who knows what else with the coming of each new Wednesday.

If it helps to put things in perspective for the OP, not all of the BGADs have been delivered. I ordered mine the first day they went up; and I'm still awaiting my second one. (In all fairness, I will acknowledge that I received the ship notification last week...it was originally showing today as the delivery date, but that got changed.)
As TommyGun said - plan on a good 12 week wait, and try not to think about it until you get the billing notice.

That is good news and I might email about a certain blade.

My reason for asking though was because I think they started shipping the beginning of November. I wondered when they were taken down so I could figure out how long it was from that day until they began shipping.
 
What a relief to know that it takes so long.

Seeing people already posting pics of their battle saws which came out after (!) the TG BG made me worried that my TGs were lost in the mail or something.
Would be cool to get some updates while waiting. I heard some people didn't even get shipping notices and had a pleasant surprise from their mailman one fine day.
It's my first batch of piglets so I'm still reading and trying to figure things out.

you will know, you will get charged before it is shipped so just keep an eye on your bank account
