Hi Redback,
Sorry for your disappointment. It is a very nice stone.
UF's have been shipping for a few weeks.
There would be no reason why we wouldn't ship to your "usual retailer" if they ordered the item. We are in business to sell product. Perhaps your "usual retailer" should contact Spyderco. There might be some other problem?

306uf Eta?
Thank you for the response, Sal. :)
If they are shipping now, then clearly the problem you were having with the leather covers is resolved. Not only my usual retailers but many other retailers I checked had no stock (check yourself, enter "306uf stone" into Google and see how the stores that list them still do not have them), but you state that they are now shipping so I guess it's just a matter of time.

This is the email I got from my Spyderco retailer on January 13:
I hope that answers some questions.Our normal price would be $82, they are due the end of January. I will post them on the site and send you a link. We will let you know when they arrive.

In fact, I ask anyone to go to Google and search for "306UF". The whole first page of hits are "out of stock" and "backordered". So please, stop shooting the messenger, thanks.

Glad I could provide some amusement for the more lightweight contributors.

New email from my Spyderco retailer. I asked him when the *&*&% they are arriving, answer:
Not sure, our supplier is telling us mid-March.

This response from your retailer would tell me that they do not purchase from us directly. Sounds as if they purchase from a Distributor (which we are also shipping to if the Distributor orders them).
Sorry to hear of your troubles.
Kristi
There is nothing more important than this one day.
Tazkristi, I sent your message to the retailer and they responded:
The distributor has not had supply of this item from Spyderco for some reason.Yes, this is correct, we are not a direct Spyderco dealer, we buy through a distributor. The distributor informs us that they have this item on backorder and expect it in next week, then they will ship it to us, so we should have it by 3/10 or so.
