What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Okay so the MagnaCut has not yet arrived, which means I am jumping back onto the ROFR AEBL orders for now. The communications involved with setting those up has been a lot of back and forth with different folks who showed interest all around the same short time span, leading to a somewhat staggered and unclear chronology on what should be done first, so today I am going to be reaching out today to everyone I have in the book to find out their preferred time frames, and build a chronology from there, which I will follow, notwithstanding the MagnaCut when it arrives.
 
Also, eventually, there will be a Sentinel Mark II. The first one turned out great:

It was a design collaboration between me and a customer. Given the 19" blade, my instincts had me wanting to use 1/8" stock, but we ended up choosing 3/16". The original idea was to make it kind of a combat capable chopper, but I would say it ended up being a heavy chopper, too heavy for agile use. Also the handle is large enough for two handed chopping, but not for two handed martial arts techniques, so it is ended up being more of a really big knife for someone big and strong who wants to process wood with a knife. The remaining Sentinel blank is going to become a Mark II with a longer hidden tang handle design, looking to fulfill the original design intent. Micarta instead of Suretouch to save weight, a deep top swedge, and deepened clip over the original. It is already spoken for. Here is a concept image:

I saw in the carbon thread you posted about the speed weasel being available. Do you have any of the spear point badger scouts laying around? Possibly either or both without scales? My buddy lost his oversized handled version of the speed weasel and has been lost without it.

Edit oversized scale option would be cool as well but I know you're aways out.
