Blades - The Forum Knife was first announce for sale on April 4th by Ryan. the collectors received a letter with a response date by April 19th. If the company policy is to sell variations that are unclaimed by the collector by putting them into the regular knife stream they should have already been numbered. I am patient, but not for long, 40 days and counting since first offered. rico

I'm with you Rico. Why would #203-#500 be numbered and sold-off a month ago and yet
#'s 001-199 have not have been numbered yet? Who starts at #201 in a series of 500? Who is smoking what in Golden? This debacle is an administrative paperwork problem, if anything, and and perhaps even a shipping glitch, not an engraving problem. In this case, the collectors are way behind the average Joe in getting "paws-on" the special goods. It don't bug me though. Like Blades said-the day it arrives is a good day indeed.

SII - Why would they not be numbered in the first place when the other 300 were done. We all know unclaimed collector knives get sold to the general population. Second - 21 days have lapsed since the 19th!!!!!!!!

Rico, Since SH-II saw them on-deck, the reason they are engraved after the collectors acceptance letters come back could be to to mark the ones that the collectors are getting with the number plus the letter "V". You know-like 175V (variation). Then the ones the collectors do not opt for after that just get the plain number "175" (no V). This is just a SWAG.

SH-II, is that correct then? Something ain't making total sense otherwise... come on, you guys are driving poor rico nutz(er). ME? I'm good with when ever it arrives. As long as it does that is...

This happen before with another knife. There was some reason the first 200 went out last, but I don't remember why. Sorry. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Wish I could be of more help. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

SII - It would be nice if management responded to this issue. My letter said responses must be in by April 19th, we are 6 days from being 30 days out from that day. Since Ryan announced the sale on April 4th they must have had all knives ready our letters came 12 days later. They should have been sent out long before the announcement of the sale of the remainder. This is my take from April 4th to May 13th is 39 day. Maybe in the grand scheme of life it is a short time, but in this situation it is a significant amount of time. Rico

rico-Get a hanger ready. Your Forum knife will be delivered along with your forum Polo shirt. That is why it is taking a little longer.....

Well, I've pestered everyone I can at Spyderco about it, and I would expect them to be in transit now to collector's club members. I'll put in another inquiry.
