BHQ just contacted me, they are shipping some of the pre-orders for the Dimension. I am excited about this one, with the Ti handles and the button lock. Should be a winner.
Preorders are LIVE for the 2024 BladeForums Traditional Knife
Traditional Knife Information Thread - make sure you go in there and read up.
Requirements: Be a Gold or higher member or have been a member of the forums since 6/2023 with at least 100 posts in the Traditional Forum. Preorder is for people who live in the continental US only, international orders will be separate.Delivery expected in Q4 2024, hopefully before the holidays.
That sucks that you havent had good luck. I have had a Thermite on preorder since February but I just figured they dont have any in stock yet
They mentioned they will be getting the other Kershaw pre-orders in very soon.![]()
I had a 0801 thermite and dimension on pre order at BladeHQ for months. Emailed them a couple times to find out where I was on the list and they wouldnt tell me. The other day Tuffthumbz puts up a video and says they shipped him a 0801 that he didnt even want and I blew a gasket. Seems doesnt matter where you are in que they will ship to anyone they want. good luck getting your knives from them . I canceled all my preorders and my 0801 will be here today from New Graham. Ill never use BladeHQ again.
I hope it sells really well and paves the way for a ZT button lock!
I thought we were the one that buys the majority of everything KAI creates?![]()
My preorder has shipped!!!!! Cant wait to get this one in hand...first thing I'll be doing is busting out the torch & flame anodizing it![]()
Awesome, hopefully the 566 is next up!
No, 0770CF!
The 0566's will be out well before the 0770CF's.
The 0770's are getting close to production, but the carbon fiber material will take little bit to get in stock. The plan right now is to make a run of the original Aluminum handles first, and then jump into the carbon fiber permanently.
The current plan is to make both the 0770's and the 0566's with Speedsafe AND a detent hole. HOWEVER, please keep in mind that this change will affect the action. The Speedsafe mechanism has a "bias toward closure” all by itself. The action tends to be smoothest without a drilled detent hole. The hole creates added resistance when couple with the resistance created by Speedsafe.
My overall point is that we're going to try it, but If the action becomes unacceptable, there is a chance we might have to remove the detent hole. I don't think this will happen as we made other knives that have both features before and still make a few this way. I'll try to keep you all updated as we continue to work on these models.
