| The Time is Here! | |||||||||
| Alleluia! The day has FINALLY arrived. We are nearing the end of my three year backlog, and we are ready to take new orders. Thank you all so much for patiently hanging in there with me. It is exciting to be able to tell my customers, "you'll see your order in a year or less". With the humbling level of demand for my work, we are wanting to implement an order system that is fair for everyone and also keeps my work load manageable. And I think we've come up with a pretty great system......a lottery. | |||||||||
| Lottery | |||||||||
| We will take enough orders to fill my knife making schedule for 3 months at a time. To keep it fair, we are limiting the number of knives per order to two. When we get closer to finishing those orders, we'll open the list again. And so on, and so on........Here is how it works: | |||||||||
| Entering | |||||||||
| Enter by sending us an email with the subject line 'Lottery'. Include the best phone number to contact you, if your name is chosen. | |||||||||
| Drawing | |||||||||
| The names will be drawn Tuesday, April 20th, at 10 am PST. If your name is drawn, you'll be contacted immediately (either by phone or email). You will have until Thursday, April 22nd, 10 am PST, to place your order. | |||||||||
| Ordering | |||||||||
| When you place your order, we will need the following information: Name, phone number, address, knife order (2 knife limit) | |||||||||
| Once you place your order, we will send an order confirmation email with an estimated completion date between January and April 2011. | |||||||||
| Details | |||||||||
| Limit: Two knives per order limit. | |||||||||
| Pricing: $150 per blade inch for Straight Carbon Steel, and $400 per blade inch for Damascus Steel. Pricing at the time of the order is locked-in. Shipping and any upgraded wood selections will be at market prices when the order is built. | |||||||||
| Payment: We will process payment the same day I begin the build of your order, approximately 10 business days before shipment. | |||||||||
| Shipping: We ship UPS, with delivery to most locations. | |||||||||
