Tried to order from Indiana, but PayPal was not accepted. A "problem with the order, try a different payment method." But PayPal and Venmo were the only methods available on the checkout screen.
Their site makes it look like they're accepting orders, but maybe not. Nobody else is.
The biggest take away here is that they're coming, and they should start popping up at all the dealers very soon.
I would consider the listing at Indiana Knives a short preorder. And I'll say that the owner is a nice guy... if you contact them, he could probably get you squared away.
Just missed it myself. That’s going to sting a bit.
i had it in my cart and was ready to check out, but it's really bad timing for me right now. this one hurt to pass up. there will be more opportunities coming though.

I find this knife absolutely gorgeous. I can't help it. Call me a snob, but given the price of 320€ in Europe, I would love to see a different steel than VG10 in the sanmai, but I understand that that just may not be possible (available).
I almost ordered from G&R until they added shipping costs. Then, I cancelled it. I'll probably find it at another vendor without needing that extra charge.
