COVID-19 has strained a lot of businesses and put them behind. Some it has put out of business. I'd say just be patient. I am anxious to get my hands on one of these, myself and it does help keep interest up asking when. But, we should also keep in mind that they are not dragging their feet on this.
Honestly, I'm most irritated with Heinnie Haynes. I mean I paid for this knife in full almost a year and a half ago now. Heinnie may not have been aware that it was going to be delayed, but they darn well knew that the knife was still a long ways out when they started collecting the pre-order money in full. In fact, they even tried to entice their customers to pay the pre-order price super early by saying there would be a price increase in 2021 if they didn't pay right then and there.

I've moved since then and Heinnie has switched to a completely new computer system. I'm not even confident that they'll be able to find my order when the time comes. Nothing shows in my account when I log in since they switched systems (although they assure me the order is still there and paid for).

Bottom line, Heinnie SHOULD NOT have been collecting the full amount for this knife when it was no where near being in there possession in their opinion.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm giving this one a try after having resisted so long.

Now here's hoping they still have my order I paid for a year and a half ago. No response to the email I sent yesterday, but it is the weekend I suppose.

Same here. Got the “back in stock” notification but no update on my order as of yet. Wrote them an email with my order number to inquire.

Mine also arrived this morning, no shipping notification either. A very nice surprise.

My only minor nitpick is the inside edges of the G10 at the blade slot are a little sharp. Everything else is spot on.

I ordered mine about 4 minutes after the restock email, but it looks like either a lot of people gave up or they ordered A LOT of stock. She’s still available!

Looks like I was pretty much right about the production schedule lining up with the other ukpk. Funny that it went all the way from Golden CO to the UK just to get sent back over to MN :D

I think it dropped a couple of weeks ago? At any rate my PE BHQ pre-order shipped today. Nice surprise as I expected they’d hold it until the SE was also in stock.
