Currently we have about 60 pieces done, 30 of which are already sold to dealers, which leaves about 30 that will make it on the website.
“How much will it cost to have a knife shipped to me?” I have been asked several times. Good question. What I will be doing is packing knives into shipments of 10-25 knives and shipping them from the Philippines to Michigan where my dad will repackage them and ship whatever you order directly to you. The reason I am doing that is to save you shipping cost. It costs a minimum of $30 to ship a knife from here to most of the world. But for my dad to ship from Michigan to most places in the US it is only $6. ...and for him to ship international is typically $13. So your shipping cost will only be the standard $6 (or $13 for outside the US) instead of the $30+ it would cost to ship from here.
I shipped out the first batch of 10 to Michigan today and they should be arriving on Feb 5th. Once that batch arrives ok I will ship a second batch, then a third. I am breaking the order up into multiple shipments in case something happens....plane goes down at sea, custom agent decides they would look better in an incinerator, the package gets stolen, etc.
What I will be doing is listing the knives in 3 different sections on the website. The sections will be under “available knives” and then the sub category will have the title of the anticipated arrival date to Michigan. A sub category named “ready to ship 2-5-2010” would mean the knives are expected to arrive in Michigan on that date So if a knife is to arrive in Michigan on the 5th and you buy it on the 2nd, as soon as the knife arrives my dad will repackage and ship it to you via USPS Priority mail...which typically takes 1-3 days to mst of the US and 10-14days to most of the world.
Some examples of upcoming pieces:
