Thanks for the info. I checked the site, emailed the store to confirm stock, and hopefully I'll have one next week! $127 with Free Shipping. WOOHOO. :D

KC sent me an e-mail saying my pre-order was shipped today. :)

Just got my shopping confirmation from KW :cool:

What the? Starting to see these online. I thought they usually get announced prior to shipping.

Got mine in today!

You mean, you just received your orange Dodo today? :eek: C'mon and post some pics, man! :D

Heard one place only got 5 in to ship out to pre orders, why such a low amount ?

I pre-ordered through KC before I knew about their infinite pre-order policy. I'm preparing myself for a KY jelly moment.

IIRC, he's become a dealer and was expecting his shipment from the distributor today.

First batch to get shipped. The number probably seems low because a) a good chunk of the batch was allotted to the collectors club, and b) the remaining knives from that batch were probably split up among lots and lots of dealers.

Don't worry, more will follow as Spyderco makes them. If you're referring to the dealer I think you are, I was lucky enough to be one of the first 5 to pre-order and mine is now on its way to me. :p

I placed my order with the Spyderco Store last night at 6pm. I received a shipping notice this morning. VA to MD shouldn't take very long! I'm super excited.

I thought I was pretty quick on the pre order to the place were talkin about but I must have not been in the top 5 lol.

Most likely Spyderco shipped only first batch. With large runs like 1000 pieces it takes time to build entire order. Even looking at the latest exclusives like 800 mily or para, they were shipped in two batches.
Do not worry, 1000 is a large lot, anybody who will put some efforts will get orange Dodo.
Mine already on the way, but I placed pre-order with my favorite dealer in the march of 2010 :)

did KW just put their preorders up? or did they have theirs up along time ago? i put an order in but hope its not like KC where they just keep taking infinite orders..

idk KW but BHQ had theirs up after they was first talked about after some knife show "forgot which" I hope they get more tho..

Just put my preorder in with Howes. Hope I'm not to late.

I'm right there with you getting ready to grab my ankles on this one. I should have learned that KC likes to sell things they don't have the first time it happened to me. Looks like I'm going to have to get the carbon fiber one.

Argh. That is not good. I think we'll both be in the same boat on this one. Oh well. Live and learn, I suppose.

My Orange Dodo has landed. Cool little knife. Only wish it had some jimping though.

Me too :D

I got mine today. It is a definite improvement over the blue one I've got. I'll do a comparison when I can compare them side by side. One obvious upgrade on the orange one is the phosphor bronze washers, which the blue one didn't have.
