What was your "wait" time for those two knives from Nordic?

About 14 months - AFAIK, Nordic, as a Randall "dealer", gets an allocation of "slots" for whatever knives they want to order.

Depending on demand, the available slots fill and the delivery time adjusts accordingly.

Depending on when you call, you make a deposit and reserve an allocated slot for your knife.

You can get a knife earlier if a customer doesn't pick up an order, or withdraws an order, etc.

I think they also take a few slots themselves for in store, and online sales, but again you have to call at the right time to take advantage of those opportunities, which may have been the case with your 14.

The Nordic website right now indicates delivery for February 2005 for knives ordered today.

Roger your last.... my wait was also about 14 months..
Direct from the factory was quoted at over 3.5 years!

Yes - at Nordic, they require on a small deposit to buy the que space for any knife they have on order -- and if a buyer does NOT buy - THAT knife goes up for grabs to the first caller that wants that model.

This thread has jolted my conscience...and I'm starting to feel bad, not having one on hand for the youngest "new" grandson.... Plenty of room in my new "BIG ASSED" vault.
