yup, just got the correction email
 
They are not that good of people, I have been shafted out of knives from 2 different orders. I put my orders in months (6-7) for one and over a year 1/2 for the other, but they oversold their pre orders and couldn't fulfill the orders that came first. When they did ship they didn't even bother to tell me I was only getting one, they just shipped it, no email saying why. That is not how to treat the customer.

I have not received an email from them except the robo email explaining rest assured that is in good hands.I am pretty sure I am near the top of the Pre-order list.I will not hold my breath that I will ever receive the 801CF from this dealer.I will most likely find the knife somewhere else as they have never fulfilled any of my pre-orders over the years.I have had excellent service from them for items that were in stock.They are good folks to deal with, but I won't put my hopes or eggs in one basket for LE pre-order knives or must-haves based on my past experiences.

I received the same email today. I emailed Knife Center and asked them to verify that this was indeed going to happen. I will update as soon as I hear back from them.
 
I mean, what's the point of ordering 2 if they just over sell and deny it to you when they(we know they get everything last) ship? By then most places are sold out of limited editions.
 
Knife center just got back to me and stated that the email was sent out by mistake and that they have since sent a follow up email explaining this. I for one did not get the follow up email. Mr Anderson you were correct sir!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone heard any updates regarding the 801cf?

I know that when waiting for a product (especially special limited edition KAI releases) we tend to get antsy and want to ask if anyone has heard anything. But nearly 100% of the time if there was anything to report no asking would be needed. As usual I think the standard reply for such inquiries still applies which is they will be ready when they are ready. It sucks but it is what it is.

Thanks for the reply.....If you have noticed that dealers have changed the way they taking pre-orders for knives and not taking orders so far in advance anymore.Some dealers no longer take pre-orders and or wait until the week of release or offer a very sort pre-order waiting period.I am not antsy and can wait or even decide I want another knife or just enjoy the ones already in my hands(LE ZT,Spyderco sprints, LE BM).I have been lucky enough to grab some amazing blades by being patient, but always ready to pull the trigger.I have not heard anything nor have I read anything lately regarding the 801CF and this LE has not been discussed a whole lot lately.I really enjoy the production 801 and it would not break by heart to pass on the 801CF when it releases.My pre-order has been in over 9 months ago with KC who has historically never delivered for me when pre-orders were placed in the past...No biggie on this model and if I get it, then I get it..If I don't I don't.. When this LE is released, there may or may not be pre-orders from dealers and this one may just drop.

I just saw a video on you tube that an employee of kai was being interviewed and mentioned that they were getting parts in for the 801CF but did not mention any ETA's
Can't seem to find the link right now but that's the latest thing i have heard.

Honestly the only knives I have noticed any difference in preorders is the Limited edition Kai releases and only with a few dealers. I can only assume this is due to recent issues with knives like the 0777 and now the 0888. Non limited editions like the diskin flipper from kershaw had preorders open up less than a week after being announced at blade. I apologize for the blunt response earlier. But there are many many people waiting on several different Kai LE knives and you can bet your bottom dollar that if anyone had concrete information on it this would probably be the first place you would see it. And it seems these types of posts or threads occur on at least a weekly basis. I kinda look at them as the blade forums equivalent of when children ask "are we there yet?" I wish it were like the old days when Kai had a forum and openly shared information but it just isnt the case anymore. It sucks but it would seem the best thing people can do is just frequent the forums and when info is available someone WILL post it.
