As far as how many batches there is going to be, I cannot give out that information. When the production floor gets done with a quantity of knives they let me know and we begin to charge and ship those knives.
As far as the Canada orders and the LE's, the LE's are getting closer and will ship in the next few weeks. If you are from overseas and have a LE and a combat grade, your knives will ship together when the LE is ready. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
