Doug,
3 months prior to the shipping date is 5 1/2 months, as the shop is about 10 weeks behind on schedule. That means that if you have a knife due out in Nov. add 10 weeks, therefore the 2nd week of January the knife will be out..."BUT" any changes had to be submitted before August..Do the math and, just to be on the safe side, get it in early. Best, Capt. Chris
