Where can I pre-order a #46 Whaler?

[LSS152]

I don’t know how this happened but I was on the DLT web page yesterday at lunch time and the # 46 showed up as in stock. I clicked on it and bam it let me pay. Then I get a notification that it has shipped. I thought they were all gone, I can’t believe I got one. I am very excited!!! I guess a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. LOL!

Was it the Muscle Bone or Ironwood handle?

It was the Ironwood Handle

I am glad to read that your quest has had a happy outcome!

Apparently I lucked out and was part of the first portion of MB Whalers. I got the shipping notification about my knife on Saturday, so I may have it in hand by midweek.

Looking forward to getting this big beast. I keep scouring the other dealers looking for one of those "miracle" IW Whaler listings to show available stock (hoping this "split-shipment" thing means more will pop up next week) but so far no luck.

The folks who have received theirs already have raised my expectations quite a bit!

Like I said before, I like to help when I can. Being a newby, I definitely can't give knife advice, so right now, this is the best I can do to contribute to the forum. I hope Tony got one. I emailed him too in case he wasn't where he could get on the forum. Maybe everybody else that wanted one had already gotten one.

Well it's greatly appreciated! As hard as it is to nail down these GEC's and Northwoods when they go on sale we need a town crier.

KSF has now sold out of its second batch of #46 Desert Ironwood. Very strange that they have not received any muscle bone while GP has already sold theirs.

"Very strange that they have not received any muscle bone while GP has already sold theirs. "
i have been asking the same thing. What do you think could be going on ? Received a batch, found an 'issue' with some and returned batch for 'tune up' ?
Or ??

Split shipments from GEC. CK warned reserves about the spacing of the shipments when they announced it was time to pay.

I suspect I'm going to have to give up on using KSF as a dealer since they announce so early and I can't usually drag myself away from work even if I do happen to see an email from them when it comes in.

Oh well, no IW whaler for me. I'll just hold on to my MB whaler extra tight.

Tony there's one on Ebay right now at a paltry bid of only $195. Seriously though I think there are more to come from some of these other dealers. Where is Barry on these ? I haven't seen any in his store.

Dang, I was hoping when I emailed you, you would get one.

[kootenay joe]

"Where is Barry on these ?"
Barry (gunstock jack) had a reservation system for the whalers and sold out over a month ago.

Aha! I guess he just takes it down when reservations are full. I never saw any mention of it.

[kootenay joe]

Greg, he had the reservations up and marked as "Sold Out" for quite awhile. Must have taken it down recently.

[robbobus]

DLT has the bone up.

[LSS152]

Poof! Just like that there gone. Hopefully there will be another shipment!

LSS152 You just wait till you try to get in on a Northwoods release. Talk about leaving you discombobulated and dizzy. You won't believe it.

[kootenay joe]

I know i keep harping on it, but, Where are the Muscle Bone Whalers ? GEC finished these and shipped them out over one week ago, maybe even 2 weeks. However very few have shown up on dealer sites. For example: KSF is one of the 2 largest GEC dealers yet they have not posted any MB Whalers. Only 2 or 3 dealers, have posted the MB Whalers and being smaller GEC dealers they had only a few.
So, where are the Muscle Bone Whalers and why are they not being listed for sale ?
It is a mystery; what is going on ?

[gsmith7158]

There are some on Ebay $250-$315.
