That's what happens when you order something that hasn't been released.

I'm right behind ya. Native Chief in Magnacut purchased November of 2023. But I'm fine with the wait, because I have one other knife I can use in the meantime. Well, at least one other knife; there may be more than one--I should probably check my sock drawer.

True story here: I bought a part from Steyr and it took 7 years to get to me. I ordered it in 2017 and earlier this year I got a call from them saying it arrived.

Seven. Years.

What was it if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been doing a little research lately on a L9-A2, so this or another CZ?

Fans of George R.R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss's works have joined the chat.

Seriously, the GoT TV series wrapped up several years ago, but it's been 13 long years since the last novel in the Song of Ice and Fire books, and we still have to see the proper literary conclusion to the saga of GoT.

Was 12 months for the PM2 crucarta for me…..IIRC

Preorder on release is always a gamble.

MAD MAX 4 entered pre-production in 1997. We finally got FURY ROAD in 2015 — 18 years later! Then FURIOSA took another 9 years. Good things come to those who wait though; be patient.

Threads like this is the very reason Spyderco doesn't give out release dates. Stuff happens and production gets delayed for whatever reason. Did Knife Center charge you for your order already? No need to answer that

Most of us have been through this before. Good things comes to those who wait comes to mind

I ordered a Bark River pre-order from Knives Ship Free …... it’s been around two years and counting. :hand-over-mouth No money collected up front so that is not an issue. Never say never, but doubtful if I would ever do it again.
