Perhaps you are mistaken. The Y Knife (the serialized version) was announced and offered for sale to anyone who would fill out the application and pay for it for over two years. You could even mail or fax the application in.
I believe lack of interest and extra work required to verify the applications caused the sale of them to come to an end. Then everyone who had not done anything up to that point to obtain one decided they wanted one.
Not sure what you mean by "pre-qualified". Everyone I know had to fill out the paperwork and wait to be verified, just like everyone else.
