I find it interesting that not only does Spyderco's exclusives page list this as a Blue Ridge Knives distributor exclusive, but so does the enclosed letter. Normally a distributor sells to many dealers, but it seems that Knife Works acquired the whole run. I think this is the first time I've seen a distributor exclusive all go to only a single dealer.

Makes me wonder if Knife Works had Blue Ridge commission it on their behalf (which would be strange, seeing as how KW has directly commissioned exclusive runs before) or if KW just snapped up the whole run when Blue Ridge made it available to their dealer network.

Now it says "Out for delivery" yet at the same time, they changed the "Expected delivery" to June 7 :( . It must be "out for delivery on the back of a turtle" the Post Office is only about 1/4 mile from my house LOL. Maybe my mail carrier called in sick today (or is playing with my knives for a day :eek: ) :) .

Oh well it will show up eventually, I've generally been much happier with USPS than UPS for deliveries to my house.
My tracking number shows that my package has been sitting in the origin sort facility since tuesday afternoon. Agh! These guys are killing me!

I recall a couple of days ago you were afraid your order had gotten lost. Glad to hear that your knife is on the way Timbo.

Edit 6/7 - those are all sold.

If anyone is interested, another dealer with some CC subscriptions is offering some at $225 (this is not Howe's).

Thank you.
Yes, I was searching for confirmation of my pre order - which I finally found tucked away in a folder (where I'd never lose it) :rolleyes:

For those who have gotten a shipping notice, could someone give me a reference order number so I can tell if they skipped over me or not?

Have you called or emailed them to check on your order status?

That's correct. Add shipping, deduct $20 deposit. :)

I ordered on 2-20-12 and just got a request from KW to pay via Paypal today. No shipping confirmation yet, but they got my money so I expect it next week.
