Copy/pasted from the SBG Facebook page.
I want to apologize to everyone that won a knife in the holiday giveaway. I still don't have them out. I told a couple people, but my water heater went out and I had to get a new one. On top of that, i got a call from my insurance company because they didn't have my new card information so I owed two months worth of insurance. $780 later, I couldn't afford to ship everything. I thought I could this paycheck, but I ended up with a $384 electricty bill and had to buy $350 worth of supplies to fill knife orders. I am very sorry, but you all will get your knives. I promise.

Totally understand what you are going through Mike. No worries at all. Like Stormmaster said, you are doing this out of the kindness of your heart. So you really have no need to apologize!

Just wondering if anyone has heard from mikeeman since that last post. Sent a message saying I would send money for shipping, but haven't heard back in 3 weeks.

Doesn't look like he's been on in a while. I'll see if I can get a hold of him.

Yep. He told me that he is taking some time off next week, and that the packages should all be shipped pretty soon.

Hey, sorry guys. It's been a combination of things that has kept me from sending them out. Mostly not having money, as I had a lot of things in my house all decide to break at the same time. (Replacing my AC is going to be fun) On top of that, I've had a lot of overtime at work, including getting called out at, like, 2 am every now and then. I took vacation last week, but instead of getting everything organized, boxed up, and ready to ship, I did some live-stream forge alongs on Facebook. I know that's probably NOT what I should have spent my time doing, but.... Hey. It was vacation.
Anyway, I am... Ok, let me rephrase that. My friend that is staying with me right now is getting them all boxed up and organized for me. And I will start sending them out as she gets them ready to go. I do apologize greatly for taking 3.6 million years to get these going.
Special note to Croxifificio, I'm sorry I've had the knife you bought from Adrian for so long. I promise I haven't stolen it. That, along with your two other blades, will be out very soon.

Hey Mike, I love the videos you post on FB :) I was always willing to pay for shipping but I think I said it at the point when you were incredibly busy. No biggie, and thanks for the update!
