Waiting times for this knife?

[The General]

Thanks Mike! Just to confirm, this was not my fault, I was told my offer to buy the knife was accepted. I was then told the next day that the knife had in fact been sold. It happens, I don't have to like it but there we go, we all make mistakes.

I am through a friend exploring another possible way to get the knife I want, but if you can come up with anything? I would not be surprised if Bridget at CRK is sick of all these people e-mailing and calling with ideas and questions to help me out! Thanks guys, if we keep this up they will get me a knife just to make me go away!

The current thinking is that I buy a wood and get a Spiral blade fitted. More expensive for sure, but... what else can be done?
