Still with you too............

OK here we go! Just received the estimate for our custom order GEC #36 UN-X-LD all steel sunfish with polished black buffalo horn handles, UN-X-LD stamped main blade, steel pins, a plain "cloud" shield, non serialized, and with a C.O.A.! Unfortunately there is no price break for 50/100/or 150 knives and there is a $500 surcharge for set up on any special order under 100 knives.
If we order 50 knives total our price per unit will be $114.73 plus FedEx shipping added at time of shipment. If we have enough people who sign up and we make it to 100 knives the set up fee surcharge will be dropped and our price per unit will drop to $104.73 plus FedEx shipping added at time of shipment.
They require a 50% deposit with balance due at time of shipment, BUT I believe that it would be much simpler, both for them and for us, to pay GEC in full in advance at the time of ordering. I'll work this out with GEC and keep everyone posted. I'll also get a firm price on the shipping so that we have no surprises later and so that we can pay them the full amount in advance.
Do not send in any money to GEC for your order yet. First we must reach the minimum order of 50 pieces and we are at 21 only so far. Perhaps we may even be able to reach the 100 piece mark, now that we have a firm price quote in hand.
If you contacted me before, and 18 of you did, please reconfirm your order with me so that I can keep track of everyone, and also please confirm the amount of pieces you will be interested in ordering.
OK folks, let's get it done! I personally can't wait! Tell your friends!
Roger,
Good info I will have to read that also. Anyone going to the meeting on Fri night, please advise our westerners want a show
Gary,This months Knives Illustrated Bruce Voyles has a story of the only NKCA show that was held out west in the 70`s.Good read.
