Probably early-mid 2016... December shipments will be September scheduled orders. Folks who took advantage of pre-ordering at the Blade show may start seeing some orders around Christmas.
Point of fact: Maybe some know this. Most certainly some do not. As an authorized Randall knife dealer, my (our) knife specifications need to be "in house" over 60 days "prior" to the "scheduled" shipping dates. 2 key words there. My orders are due out the last Thursday of each month (5 Thursdays are an exception). The Blade show was held in June. That means July & August orders were already in the books. September was the "earliest" those (June) orders could be submitted. Now: Add the fact that the Randall shop is 2+ months behind schedule and you can see that no dealer could take an order with a quicker delivery time than the end of November at the Blade show.
Hope this helps,
