It's still May. Per Sal it should happen sometime this month. Probably give/take a few weeks because knives are slower to make than photocopies.

Agreed, the Yojimbo 2 was a long awaited knife and it sold faster than anyone thought, which is good.
It makes it tough if you didn't get one though. I feel for anyone that wanted one and didn't get it. I
was lucky enough to get one and carry it daily as a SD knife. I feel better just knowing that it is there.

I just walked through the assembly area of the factory and was pleased to see a number of busy hands assembling Yojimbo2s. I know that our management folks do their best to allocate stock as equitably as possible, but back orders on this knife are significant. I have no way of knowing when knives will be shipping to individual dealers, but the good news is that some will be shipping soon.

Stay safe,

Mike

Excellent news!
I walk away slow tonight,
and cut through the air
with a curse, like a knife.

Thank you for the update Mr. Janich.

I sure hope KC will be getting a little more than a handful

That's definitely good news! I placed my Yo 2 order exactly 6 months ago today.

I see that a number of people have purchased Yojimbo 2s at Blade Show, I guess that means they are going to release them soon? I've been on pre-order list for 6 mos...guess I should have gone to Blade Show.

Me too. I placed my order Nov. 25th 2011. I can't imagine they'd sell them at Blade without also shipping to dealers to fill 6 month+ old backorders.

They must be starting to roll out. Just notified by KC that mine is on its way and CC has been charged. Original order date with them was 1/30/2012.

Got a newsletter from Howes saying they got 25 of them, but it sounds like they are all pre orders.
