Sorry to hear you're still waiting...I originally ordered my Para 2 from YCS at the end of last July, and eventually canceled my backorder in January. I'm glad I did, because I've since recently got my knife from Howe's knife shop. I'm not dealing with YCS anymore, there are places with just as good prices (cutleryshoppe), and wayyy better customer service, who don't constantly tell you false arrival dates for products. Not that it's all bad, I've had good experiences ordering products that are in stock from them, but their backorder system is a serious PITA that I never want to deal with again. Plus they can't even give normal credit card refunds, only send it in a check form. Not a big deal, but another little annoyance. I hope you get your Para 2 soon, whether from YCS, or doing what I did, and canceling to get it somewhere else. Rest assured, for the price and quality of the build and materials, it is well worth the wait! Good luck
