I tracked this seller on eBay. When Mrj posted the price was MAP with free shipping and seller sold 4 of them. Now, the price has been jacked up to $199. That’s still the low end of the pricing on eBay now with other prices in the $207.50 to $449.00 range!
That seller also has 11 available which is pretty interesting.
Yes. Thanks. Forgot to mention that. Also, seller does not accept returns (shades of BBS).

Confirming: KnifeCenter has them in stock and is shipping for those who got pre-orders in early enough.
Sonofa... looks like I was an hour or two late back in January. Guess I better snag one somewhere else before they dry up, shoot up in price, and wait another 8 months for a second production run. Hard not to pull the trigger right now without waiting for a reply from KC. Not thrilled
I just got the information from one German shop that they expect these by the end of December ... I can't say I am thrilled, but I guess it has something to do with production capacity in Golden and apparently (and not surprisingly) US shops get the first batches.
I'm not buying this one, since I could just buy micarta scales for my existing CruWear PM2 if I really wanted it that bad. But my, it looks nice. And that color combination will take on just the right amount of discoloration over time spent in a pocket. In a few years it will look even better.
Sal: please consider making micarta an alternate scale material for at least some of your G10 knives in perpetuity. It's got way too much character to be restricted to these incredibly rare sprints. I have to believe it would sell.
And having a Magna Carta series of knives? The marketing materials practically write themselves.

Well showing
Currently Unavailable
This item is currently unavailable from the manufacturer/distributor and they are unable to give us an estimate as to when it will be ready to ship. We are not taking backorders for this item.
Now
Got in on pre-order super quick when they released but looks like I’m in for another years wait…
Im a vegetarian as technically cows are made of grass and water.
The note... **Please note, pricing is temporarily a little higher. I was able to get 2 additional units from a distributor but had to pay over dealer cost to get them. Margins are fairly thin on these so I must pass the extra cost along. Prices will go back to normal after these 2 units sell. Thanks! -Eric

Hi. Just to clarify, this one IS regular production, not a sprint run. They’re just going fast because it’s new.
So it could be good news that other models will get this treatment in perpetuity some day.
I would totally order from W&W/Blades Canada. Hope they get some soon and they don't sell out before I get the instock email.
In the past I have done many $=$ comparisons with them and USA stores and they've always been always been five or ten bucks more and less hassle to get delivered. It's a shame they've never done a special edition but I would guess the risk/reward is too out of balance.
