When did you send in your payment SP? You must have been on the waiting list too.

I am in my own long wait for a letter also. If anyone has any advice on a better way to do this then please email me or post it here. I am prior service (much prior) and would like very much to have this issue knife. I still have my ol' Model 15 Airman Randall that I carried. But with two sons now, I want to have something for each of them.
I guess I fit the bill of the description of an SF soldier I heard long ago. I have my divorce (2 actually), the Randall, and the Rolex. But I never did find a blue star saphire ring. I'll keep my eye out for that one.

The quest is over...
I received my Y Knife yesterday, after almost 14 months from sending off the intial paperwork. There was one other delay, I didn't mention. After sending off the rest of the paperwork and payment, I received a letter, explaining that it would be another two to three months. A large order was placed for the the guys graduating Q. That was fine. It's here now.
I remember a discussion on the BHI sheath. Seems somewhere along the line, they began using a different sheath. Mine came with a Spec-Ops brand sheath. My digital camera went south awhile back, but it is the same as in SP51C's pic above.
This knife is phenomenal!!!!!!! Amazing piece of work Bill and Chris.......

I'm 878 because SWC flagged 800 for grads. Maybe they took 850 numbers.

You guys are killing me. I found out too late, and "purchase is closed" I've tried the address/phone # given me by another guy on the site - but, alas, no response. Got a nice call from Bill H. to talk about the knife - that was a kinda kick in the ass too, being able to talk to the 'knife god' about his creation, and having little current chance of getting one.
C'est la vie.

I know the feeling x_. As you can see from the 14 months it took me. After the intial paperwork, there weren't anymore available. I didn't think, I would be able to get one. Figured that, in that case, I'll buy one from CRK. It is an incredible knife.

Put mine on order with CRK. Will be produced end of this month, got a nice LEO rebate as well (thanks to Heather !). Won´t be serialed, but still the "real deal". Looking forward to receiving this masterpiece !

Not a problem, we'll just have Chris Reeve send it to Ambush Master first and have him kill something with it. Then you can say it was used by a SOG vet!

Ohhhhhh, I like TS's suggestion Mike. I'd prefer to use your HK SL8 on the boar.  Then we can use your new knife to butcher the thing. The beer will help pass the time while it cooks. We'll get all these guys over there for a Toelz reunion. Might make those boars an endangered species.

Alright. Here is the plan. Ambush Master breaks in the blade, you drop the boar with my SL8, TS gets to butcher it while I´m in charge of the beer resupply.
As I said before, this Tölz reunion doesn´t sound bad at all. Think about it gentlemen... Any plans for, lets say, fall of next year ? Gives everybody enough time to plan ahead, save money and convince the wife....
