As the Captain said, we have to have our orders in 60 days before our scheduled delivery dates.

My September 17th stated delivery date can be expected to be in my hands in November-December.

Back in the Spring, "Cut-Down Tang" models, (most of the sporting models and Bowies) were arriving two months after stated delivery date & "Full-Tang" models, (#14, #15, #16, #28, etc) were arriving three months after stated delivery date.

They seemed to be catching up because my May 21st shipment of "CDT's"came around August 6th, and the "FT's" came the next day!
