Product Description

Ah, good catch. I wasn't paying attention. That is, indeed the Osprey. But, of course, I own the mighty Proponent as well- my favorite AC of them all!
As for the Osprey, i have medium-sized hands but I like big, fat handles. While it feels a wee smaller than I like, especially with the taper, it's still quite comfortable and shaped perfectly for the finger row. There are a couple of contours that are well-designed and make for a natural fit with the hand. As far as the brass scales, they are quite thin, but feel very solid, bolstered by some hardened, milled liners (see below). It's every bit as tough as it is light. It's a beautiful, classy folder.
Fair enough, I have those two as well and was just thinking they're a great "bang for your buck" purchase. However, they're not going in my schmancy display case.
vasgothis is what support sent me.
Unfortunately there is no new updates on expected shipping date of the CJRB Rampart D2 Folding Knife. I do apologize for any inconvenience due to this matter. If any updates become available, you will receive an email with this update.
From Drop support today: "We're experiencing a delay with the vendor in getting these units shipped out. We anticipate that these will be shipped before March 7th, 2020. Once the item is picked up and scanned by the courier, you will receive an email with tracking information.
I understand this situation is not ideal. I can offer you a prepaid return label and when you receive the unit, you can send it back to us for a full refund. This is an alternative solution since I am unable to offer a cancellation right away due to the fact that this launch is dropship (vendor ships directly to customer) and the customers' orders have already been sent over to the vendor."
Ok, so I’ll just assume here that DROP has no customer service, whatsoever. Still no answer as to where the copper option is, DON’T WORRY, I found it on knifecenter.com
rparinaDrop has a habit of reusing the exact same webpages when they revive a sale to continue to get rid of unsold inventory.
So the original, first sale run of the CJRB Rampart included a copper option. Evidently they sold out of their stock of copper versions, and have reused the same listing text, even while changing/removing the copper choice in the drop down box. I managed to get a copper one on the first sale here, and it’s nice, but for those that haven’t handled a knife with copper scales, they are much heavier than the G-10 versions. It may not bother someone, but they should consider the weight issue before ordering one.
As you found, there are are a number of other sites carrying the copper version for immediate shipment. Also, Smoky Mountain Knife Works has all the Rampart models in stock righ now (copper, carbon fiber, gray, black) at good prices. I just picked up a gray version for only $2 more than here with immediate shipment.
My desire for shopping on Drop and waiting a month or more for products is fading fast, especially when the products are available elsewhere for virtually the same price and immediate shipment.
gulfbreezeThats something I’ve always found curious with drop. If you don’t carry an inventory, and you order from the manufacturer according to customer orders, why do subsequent drops often appear to have unsold merchandise from the previous drops? The manufacturer couldn’t make any more of the good stuff in the meantime? They couldn’t dump what drop didn’t buy somewhere else in the meantime?
This is ridiculous that we cannot cancel our order at this point and are just left waiting until whenever with no updates or communication from Drop. I understand the 7th wasn't a hard date, but we are 10 days past that with no end in sight. I'm not feeling great about my CJRB Feldspar shipping on time either and these are going to be my last purchases here. Not worth the little bit of money off to deal with this.
