My Yarborough
SF 0452 finally arrived. Only took 3 months. 
All I can say is WOW! Excellent weight and balance and a very nice edge. I am impressed.

Congrats!
Wonder where it has been for the past 3-1/2 months?

While travelling down the "backside of 30" (John Conlee reference) into the 40's, I find patience to be over rated.
Great Knife!

The wife asked to look at mine when the package came in from the museum... she cut herself taking it out of the sheath...   
For some reason, she's been very careful around my knife collection since then...

From Chris Reeve Knives and myself, Thanks and hope this knife serves you well. Please advise if you need any of our help.
About the wait time. it depends on the order cycle.
No Yarborough knives are produced until a written order, including serial no.s to be engraved, arrives from Ft. Bragg.
The CRK shop runs at full capacity all the time.
Upon orders received another batch is scheduled into the process.
This begins with ordering steel out of Syracuse New York and getting it shipped out so the process can begin.
Sometimes we have to wait for another steel melt and rolling to get the thickness in this particular alloy of CPM steel we need for this project.
These knives are not produced one at a time so a given number have to be made each cycle or we can't afford to do them.
I'm pretty sure this could have been some of the wait time.

Thanks for filling in some of the back story. And thanks for making such great knives.

Chris reeve knives
Have any of you seen the video on youtube of the knife test on the two Chris reeve knives that bust in half during his test? Go to youtube, type in knife tests Chris Reeve and watch the two videos he does on the knives.
