    I just sent Dale a quick message to see what the status/ETA is for these. I was hoping they would be ready to go by now...

    On a side note - why have we not met up and gotten a beer together?!?! I'd love to meet up with a fellow ESEE-fan! Shoot me a PM if you ever want to get together and talk about knives/gear/SAR etc. I'm in Hawk's Prairie (by Tolmie State Park).

    Cheers! :)

    Thanks for following up. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

    I'll get back to you on your side note at some point when I get more mobile. Im currently recovering from the docs filleting my foot last week. Prognosis is good though.

    Sounds good man - hope the recovery is fast and not too prohibitive to your normal routine.

    Reply from Dale:

    "Hello Ben,

    Thanks for the inquiry. We've had some slow-downs but are hoping to have them available by the end of next week. I would suggest that those who are interested sign up for our newsletter.

    Thank you & please let me know when I may be of further service.

    Dale Stoops, Owner
    "

    So, keep checking the site or sign-up for the newsletter to get notified of any updates. If all goes well, they should hopefully be available by 5/11(?)

    Quit toying with my emotions.

    (For a minute there I almost thought I had feelings...)

    Awesome! I was afraid you were doing to me what I did to you, but obviously you are a much better person than I am. :D

    Set ordered along with an FDE Izula.

    I'm looking forward to some in-hand reports. Can't decide which color to put on my stainless Izzy yet.

    Hell yes - thanks for the update!

    I have (3) Prototype sets inbound:
    • Black
    • Midnite Tiger 1x1
    • Midnite Tiger 2x2
    I have (3) Black Izulas, (1) Gray Izula, and (1) Stainless. I have a few sets of standard micarta scales and standard G10 scales already, but they will be swapped for these extended ones.

    Almost ordered a set but I’m in love with my armatus sheath and it’s molded for the stock scales. I may have to get a sheath, scale, blade combo.
