Have attempted to email @nakiriknaifuwaifu and @RockyBasel - when I use the exact format required I receive this notice from the website:
"Your content can not be submitted. This is likely because your content is spam-like or contains inappropriate elements. Please change your content or try again later. If you still have problems, please contact an administrator."
I've deleted all formatting - suspect maybe it's the use of the word "paypal", but I tried "paypa1" and that didn't go through either.
Payment and Shipping Logistics:
Hello all - below are critical details regarding shipping and payment. Please read it thoroughly as there are TIME SENSITIVE DEADLINES!!!
Hiring is only one small part of it. Keeping is the more difficult part!Hiring employees is a big fat hairy deal. It's hard! Good for sticking to your instincts!

That's noble of you, but from a liability standpoint he is probably better off testing on onions, carrots, potatoes, etc.I have a great idea for a compromise. I'll happily offer my services as your personal 'product tester' for free!

Ben, I think you are doing exactly what you should be after reading your thoughts on your situation. 35 years ago I started my business here in the US. I had a partner and we grew extremely fast. At one point we had 17 people working for us and all I ended up being was a baby sitter. I split with my partner about 15 years in and decided to only use subcontractors and only have 2 of them. I sold the building down town and started working from home. Best decisions I ever made. Keeping the business small allowed for so much more freedom and much less stress. And the funny thing is that I ended up making way more money being small. It sounds to me like you’re doing it exactly the right way.

Hi @Todd762, please check your PMs.I must of missed a message about payment and shipping address. I have responded.
@KAMON Knives while I really appreciate your grinding post update and your lovely water cooled grinder, Im curious about your thoughts on the grind itself. Next to the whole forging process, grinding is maybe the most important part of how the knife performes, imo. As they say, geometry cuts. What are your considerations concerning grinding and performance? What are you balancing, so to say?
I just want to clarify that there has been a week and a half of communication about specifically about info and payment collection.Lesson learned here, monitor the thread daily if you can.
just got a notification and looking to get in on this. Have money to blow and willing to overpay this time around.
To be fair. Sometimes the notification doesn't appear even if you're watching the thread. Was wondering why there wasn't any updates and when I checked I almost missed the deadline as well.I just want to clarify that there has been a week and a half of communication about specifically about info and payment collection.

On Monday Nov. 15th Post #575 I tagged everyone and said: "Further time-sensitive announcements regarding payment and shipping coming sooooooon!"
On Tuesday Nov. 16th post #578 I specified, saying "Further information on payment will be sent out this week" and stated the ETA of completion would be December.
On Friday Nov. 19th post #611 (Friday afternoon if you're in TX) as stated I opened up the thread for payment and shipping info with a deadline of 11:95PM on Monday, Nov. 22nd
On Monday Nov. 22nd post #626 I posted a reminder deadline for that day.
After the deadline, I gave a grace period and on Tuesday Nov. 23rd I sent you a PM at 11AM CST giving you an additional day to respond and another one later in the day checking in.

I've been heads-upping, tagging, and PM'ing as much as I can to get everyone's attention.
Keep in mind that I generally give 24h for each waitlist person to accept/decline their spot, and it takes me approximately 2 spots (48h) to fill a slot, plus the amount of time it takes that user to reply with their information.
In this case we need a confirmed list of 40 to decide the number of knives going to each region and calculate price (hence no prepay option), so unfortunately we have to draw deadlines somewhere or risk postponing the drop for everyone.
@RockyBasel is a more compassionate man than me (perhaps because I'm the one timing/scheduling posts, writing PMs, filling out the spreadsheets, etc.) so we are working on it.
But please guys - deadlines. They actually mean something, please try your best to follow them.
If you will be traveling, in a rural area, or unable to respond when you should, please shoot me a PM and I will accommodate you (as I did with @WiriWiri, though he got his info to me on time).
