Gerald, Back in 2010 I believe I saw your collection of Slimlocks at the Case Reunion. The circular display was amazing and it prompted me to purchase my smooth redbone slimlock which is one of my most favorite edc. Thank you!
Bill that was Charles Montgomery's collection. He has 2 that I don't have and one of them is a 1 of 5 and the other is a MOP one with a MOP desk knife that he bought at the 2010 reunion.
Thanks Gerald for the update on Charles M. Even missing 2, that would make one outstanding collection. I know that your mammoth handled Slimlock is one of the coolest knives around :-).
Craig, my Social Security doesn't come until the FOURTH Wednesday! And my TVA pension doesn't come until the LAST business day of the month! Plus my two annual club member knives that I ordered over a week ago haven't come yet. I have been going to the mail box two or three times a day since last Wednesday waiting for them. You are right. That kind of anxiety is not good for us old codgers.
They are the Junior and Regular Member Collectors Club knives. I ordered them online at the Collectors Club website on June 1. Since today is the tenth, that is nine days ago. They sent me an email receipt for each knife and did not say anything about them being on back order.
Howard, you are right. I just looked at my Case Collector which came today. It would appear they probably don't even make them until all orders are in so they know how many to make. I didn't notice any of that when I ordered on line. So instead of waiting days or even weeks, I am going to have to wait months! Next year I will wait til near the deadline to order so my money isn't tied up and I don't have to wait so long.
I feel your pain, Charles. It's a tough wait for the club knives, but worse is the quarterly raffle when you don't get chosen for the opportunity to buy a matched set of something you really want.
Oh Charles now I know what you ordered. Yes the wait will be awhile sorry to say and even waiting til the end to order doesn't mean it'll come sooner you'll wait then also.
I've been there before, it's nice when you finally get them but the wait is murder.
Then you have the sets that you prepay and wait to see if your name is picked, I did get picked once and lost a couple.
The forum knife we paid for in Jan. and it's supposed to be shipped in July, and we started the whole process last Sept.
Charles they usually make a number of the Regular member and Junior Knives early for the people that just order those knives, the Lifer sets knives usually take a little longer because they are put in line to have the Lifer number engraved on the set.They have a fairly good idea of how many they can make and not have extras.
Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo, they are coming! I just talked to Case. The Junior Member Annual Knife for my grandson was shipped today. My Regular Member knife will ship tomorrow. Also while on the phone I asked if it might be possible to get a 2012 Junior Member knife. There were a few left so one will ship tomorrow with my Regular Member knife. I consider the 2012 knife my grandson's first birthday present. This year's and each succeeding year's knife will be my birthday present to him. So for his 16th birthday I hope to present him with 16 Junior Member knives.
The 2012 Junior Member knife is a crimson bone copperhead.

Charles,
I think they ship the Club knives later in the year. At any rate, their disclaimer is that all knives will be shipped by December 30.

Those new member Peanuts have been made for a couple of years so they were on hand. Check the tang stamp and see if it's not and earlier year.
