73 month wait to get one

well, the good news is, if you get on a 73 month waiting list you will forget all about it after some years and think it's a bomb when it actually comes.

I backed up to the dumpster and was cleaning up my truck. Picked up the box smashed the end open on the edge of the dumpster and my Randall Model 1 came flying out!

I was just joking around, can't believe it actually happens. But I can imagine I would forget all about it if it took 6 yrs to get there. Glad you didn't lose that kind of knife after enduring the wait from hell. I hate waiting 3-4 months when I have ordered a couple Tim Britton customs. If he told me it was 6 years I think the deal would be off. You're a lot more patient than I'll ever live to be. Congrats on enduring that.eveled wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2024 7:26 am The wait seems to keep getting longer. On the plus side you pay the price from when you ordered it.
You give them a $50 deposit. Then they bill you just before it ships. The price had gone up $125 since I ordered it.
The key is to order for significant events at least 6 years ahead of time.

That one too Tony, is that Sambar? Fabulous whatever variety. With perfect bumpy, groovy texture for grip and eye candy. A gorgeous knife all around.
Thanks Kevin!
