No formal place yet since all the details are still being finalized. Price will be 310 in your choice of ball bearing or assisted mechanism and your choice of bowie blade or torpedo blade. More info in the other threads neuron started.CTS-XHP vote over here as well.
is there a formal place to sign up for a knife? and is there any ball park price we are working off of currently?

That, I won't know til I pass on the final build to Darrel himself. It all depends on the blade steel and his existing work order.thanks a lot
can i bother again to get an estimated delivery date? are we looking at 2 months or 5 months lol

Hark, did you ever reveal the new secret steel Darrel is working with that you mentioned in another thread? Can it be made out of whatever steel that is?
It can, and no, I have not revealed it yet. Darrel hasn't given me the green light, though that should not change your mind on what steel you guys want.
A clue though: the steel in the 600 run is one you guys have discussed.
As far as I know, he still puts everything together by hand.So, I have always been curious. How involved in production of the mid tech Gunhammers is Darrel? What's hand fitted? Blades CNC'd? Always been curious about HTM.
Just some talk to pass the time until we get things going.
I agree that looks like really good stuff, but super-exotic steels like Vancron 40, Maxamet, and so forth are really more the sorts of things to inquire about if you're ordering one of Darrel's full customs. Especially for something like this that's coming together on relatively short notice, IMHO we should stick to something that's high-performance but not too difficult to obtain or work with.I agree with Neuron. I will give myself a black eye if it ends up being like CTS Maximet at 68-70hrc like ZT is doing. Or maybe it's Vancron 40 (get a load of this stuff)

I think Vancron 40 should be added to the poll. 58-65Hrc is the sweet spot so I really think we hit the jackpot on this one. It's a Bohler steel so you know it's good.
