They will indeed overbook preorders. Like PURPLEDC said, this can cause a problem with limited edition releases. But with a regular release, this will not be a problem other than them preorderding more than their initial shipment resulting in a wait. They are a reputable and trusted retailer though. I would preorder with them if the price is right. I remember preordering a ZT0562 from them for $170. It was quite a wait, meanwhile i saw others getting their knives. but at that price it was worth the extra wait. For purchases, knifecenter is a good trusted retailer.
