availability of Naniwas at SRD (when is the next shipment due?)

[WadePatton]

I want to buy a 12k from SRD. Anybody here advise me as to how long it might be before they restock?

yes i am aware of other sources. and i did send SRD the same inquiry, but to be fair it's not yet 24 hours old.

I think the only people on this forum who can answer this are the two owners of SRD.

Remember that honing requires patience grasshopper*!

Naniwa is backed up on production.

We expect to have some more in within the next couple weeks.

Have fun.

Wade,,,you can't have a Naniwa until you snatch the barber hone from Utopian's hand,,,

[WadePatton]

Thanks Lynn. Whoever fields the form inquiries to SRD can pitch mine altogether now as you just covered one base and the thread i started on SRD strop leathers has covered the other.



Patience? patience!! EVERYTHING NOW! MORE! ANDELE! SCHNELLER! pronto amigo?

Nah, that's for folks with $$$ to burn.

Yeah, i can wait. 2 weeks is not 2 months. _Not knowing what to expect_ is sometimes a sticking point fer me.

Do you find the wait a slow death?? I know I would.

wade think about how long it took for the Zulu, then it wont be bad,, if I was at home id let you use my 12k naniwa,, I don't use it yet , still letting the pros hone for me right now but ,touchups are coming! tc

Yes, that was my (implied) reference-but i don't want anyone thinking negatively of Mike's ability to supply the goods. Lots of guys haven't learned that many things- especially when provided/made by very small companies, especially the one-dude enterprises, can take a little while to get. It can be a rude awakening to the realities of the limitations in both the super-saturated channels of mass production (where you can't get the _best_ stuff) and the hand-made/low production/specialty markets.

Too many folks get their knickers all bunched up over little stuff and soapbox it all over via this web. These are folks who generally haven't lived long enough to begin accumulating wisdom, understanding, and patience. I don't want to be confused with those folks. or to provide any fodder for their short-sighted fires.

Mods clip this please if too bold. thanks.

I think most on this forum would have to agree with you. And, that's why we're here. The finer things, yes?

Thumbs up, Wade.
