Are the yardkeepers gone for good or will we see more of them like they do over at the swamp store? [censored], I logged in last night at 4:05, saw it listed in the store then by the time I was ready to order (a matter of minutes) it was gone.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Hey SB, I think those puppies are gone for good. Judging by how quickly they went, I suspect that we will end up seeing many of these blades being offered for sale in the usual places. Wish I could help you out, but all I could afford was one.

I think that's the reason I goofed up on the shirt/hat offer - I was in such a rush to get my order placed that I didn't wait for my extremely slow server to get the offer posted. Thank goodness Patti provided for us! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I hope they are. I was not able to get one either! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I don't know, but typically from what I've seen in the past, SY puts an entire production run up for sale all at once. Dan has posted that they're all gone, so my guess would be that other models will be released before more YK CGs are made.

As best I can tell, neither Eric nor Skunk get much prior notice about what's coming in or what the delivery schedule will be. I've asked about Bandicoot LMs several times, but haven't been able to get a definitive answer about if/when they'll come out. They both appear to be licensed distributors with little or no connection to the actual production operations.

Scrap Yard seem to handle both production and distribution themselves, so sales have (at least in the past) been more coordinated. Of course, the BC site also sells knives, but they seem to only do pre-orders -- I like the Yard's way of selling only what's on-hand, although the pre-order sales model is probably much more efficient from a production standpoint. I just don't like "buying" something and then waiting months for it to be delivered.

silverbullets, sometimes you can e-mail Dan and Patti and ask them if they have anybody who cancels an order or what have you that you would be interested in one. Sometimes one may pop up if someone backs out or what have you. You never know unless you try. It never hurts to ask..

Thanks J33ps, not too big of deal, i just landed a DMLE so that covers that sized blade, I didn't think they would go nearly that fast...oh well, I will wait til Dan's next release and plan on being a little more on my game.

Long story short, I had to stay at work a little longer then expected. When I got back, gone! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Some might show up being offered in a mini dog bowl offering in a couple of weeks or so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

That's just a guess though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I hope so, for the sake of the ones who missed out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

or at a knife show.

Mmmmm, I guess that's always another possibility. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hope Dan makes more of them down the road. I'd like to see the DF, S6, Urban Mutt, and YK as regular offerings. I expected to see more S6s offered again, but I guess not. I sure am glad I scored one of the new Yks.
