Last Wednesday Sal said they had only been shipped to CC and premiers... Ebay would be absolutely flooded with these if they had all been shipped out already

+1! Only a handful have been flipped on the bay and none that I have seen on bladeforums. Even collectors would be tempted to flip theirs for $350, so this right here tells you very few have made it in to the hands of the end users. I'm guessing that maybe 100 non-collector clubs knives have been sold, if that.

As someone new to this game, what's the best way to find out about pre-orders, release dates, SFO retail sales, etc?

Thank you! I was literally just scrolling through this mess of a thread to try and find Sal's post regarding this. People need to stop assuming and panicking like their life is over without this Cruwear Shaman :rolleyes:

Are you guys missing the one listed for $559.99? $399.95 is a deal! It is the cheapest one currently available in the world! :p

Stupid and sickening. Boo! :mad:

Just as an FYI. Makes me think the DLT cart opening up earlier was perhaps a glitch? Hope so.

My understanding is that some dealers got small shipments (<10 knives) early as part of the premier program. They will get larger shipments later. The people who were in the right place at the right time at DLT today probably did in fact get one of these early release knives. I already have mine in hand that I ordered from BladeOps on Tuesday. They only had 2 in stock when I stumbled upon the add to cart button after refreshing it a few minutes earlier when they were not in stock.

I've said before, but my guess is that way less than 100 have been sold at US Dealers so far, but some absolutely have been sold and shipped. I have zero clue how many were already sold at the SFO or at overseas dealers.

So basically, my thinking is that yes, you MAY get lucky this week if a premier dealer posts the few early release knives they received for sale (like DLT, Knifeworks, BladeOps, SMK, St Nicks, etc already have), but don't get frustrated yet because the bulk of this release has not been shipped.

IMO, best way to keep up to date is to watch the threads on this forum. If you learn that a dealer is taking pre-orders for an upcoming sprint I would get in line early. If it's a high demand item I probably wouldn't even bother if I didn't get my pre-order in within the first 6 hours. If you really want to make sure you get one, regardless of when you get in line, when the item starts to drop at various dealers I would do my best to place an order with wherever you can find one. Depending on who you place your pre-order with you can always call and cancel the order once you have the first one in hand.
