On Howe's Knife Shop website,
Dear Jim,
I understand your concern. We are at the SHOT show and Robert is currently meeting with Gianni Pauletta/Lion Steel. No knives are being distributed here! We are expecting shipment to us during the week of Jan. 24th, and we will get the orders shipped out asap after receipt. I just saw the finished product for the first time this morning and it is beautiful! Regards, Linda at DPx
Jim Howe has also had on his site for a couple of weeks an offer to refund to anyone that had already paid for their knives and were getting nervous.
