Anyone pre-order the Pioneer X Damascus?

I just dropped 220 euros on one and I have no idea when I'll get it. I hope it's not a case of  :facepalm:

Tried to order one out, and it wouldn't let me.   :think:

Call them. 1-800-442-2706. I placed my order last night with no problem.  I received an e-mail this morning asking me to call regarding my shipping address being different to the billing address.  It was sorted in a couple of minutes and I am now waiting/hoping for shiping confirmation.

Had been waiting for these to show up at re-sellers but once I saw this link I couldn't resist any longer.  I did restrain myself somewhat and only ordered 1. 
Waiting for the time when I can finally say; this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way.

Thanks for the help.   :cheers:  However when I tried the regular ordering system this morning it worked. My usual luck with modern technology.

Plus $12 if you're impatient like me and paid for 2 day shipping  :D

Why is one so much darker than the other? Are there two colours?!

Well, finally shipped last night. Should be in Laredo by Monday. I hope to have them here in Mexico by next Friday. Can't remember the last time I was so exited about a mail call  :facepalm:

Mine came today, exactly as expected. Nice for my first Damascus LE, I'm pleased.  :)

Now if I can only resist removing the keyring...  :facepalm:

Nice! I am debating whether to carry, the keyring would have to go. Surgery is an easier decision on a $50-60 model.  :ahhh

I think these will rocket in value like the black Pioneers of whenever it was.
They certainly seem to be selling very quickly. I just ordered a 2nd one and I didn't even get the 1st one yet... so I will own 1/2500th of the global supply: mwa-ha-ha!
In ten years time I will offer them for sale for ... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

lol, maybe I could afford a 2010 Climber with that kind of profit... :)

oops, 2011 Climber, the 2010 was the Pioneer that sold for $1000 multiple times now, I'll never be able to afford that!  :ahhh

I'd be very surprised if this will be as sought after as the very first Damascus Alox Pioneer back in 2010. Plus that knife had a smaller run in comparison.

True, there are 5000 of these, not 2010. But they are hard to find already. 7 on ebay last night, all gone within hours. Victorinox no longer has them. They won't be gathering dust like the Damascus Spartans.

I cannot speak for other locations but here in the UK there are plenty available.
I do remember a friend at Victorinox saying a very small amount were shipped to the U.S.
So that could explain any issues outside Europe?

Saw a listing on fleaBay by CVW for this model which says there were 300 sent to the US and limited to 12 per dealer. Unclear if this includes Vic's US corporate site or not. Also if there is a number 0000 as photographed and a number 5000, then there will be 5001 pieces in the run unless they stopped at 4999.  :P
