Advocate release?

#1

Post by toomzz »

Hi forum,

just pre-ordered Bradley's Ti flipper, the Advocate, really looking forward to this one!
Ti-M4-linerlock-thin-light, what else does a man needs? :D (probably the next Bradley)

Any word or signal on the release-date?

Cheers,
Tomas

Hi Toomzz,

We have schedules, but have found them to be inconsistent and often not accurate, because of delays for one reason or another. We don't know until they're ready to ship. Then they have to go through QC, so we really don't like to say anything until we know they here and right. sorry. :o

I like the idea that it has both the opening hole and flipper that becomes a finger guard.

I had one preordered and canceled. Decided not to hold that money, but to spend on something else. Would be nice to at least know a month so you can plan. $200+ is not a mild decision for me.

I Was driving from Abilene to Ft Worth today and passed through Weatherford. I looked up Mr. Bradley's address on his website, hoping to stop by his business. I was surprised when "the Google" led me to what I can only imagine was his home. Needless to say, I didn't stop by and ring the doorbell.

I was really hoping to checkout his version of the Advocate. I'm really looking forward to it.

Ha! I should take a drive out there and see if he'll sign my knife. On second though...if I knocked on his door I might end up with the business end of the knife in a bad spot. Maybe I should call first? :D

Are we getting close to the release of the Advocate?
