As we continue to improve our communication efforts, we hope this is a great way to keep all of our customers informed on the CURRENT status of their pending order, as we are always working very hard to get you those GOATs as quickly as we can, but we are still a rather small operation with big dreams...so we greatly appreciate everyone's patience as we create that perfect OG designed exclusively for your pocket!!

CLICK TO JUMP TO ORDER UPDATES

Your order confirmation email (please check your spam folder if you don't have that email) should include either an estimated BEGINNING shipping date (for our pre-order items) or a production estimate time (for our standard production items) for a "standard" item...unless you found a rare GOAT that's on-hand...these will not have this estimation and instead those should ship within 1-4+ weeks ***depending on final finish selected - as coatings WILL ADD processing time to that GOAT...see below for details!!

You will see this estimated information listed under the label "Pre-order info:"  

This is the estimate at the time of your order (if you make changes or add custom options, it can extend this estimation).  

Our "standard" option will usually be either a fully ambidextrous option (no clip location on product - AD20,AD20.5, AD10...), or a right-handed configuration (AD15, Deka, Manix, MSI...). We have moved to a "NO HOLE" approach with our GOATs as we know so many prefer to keep those beautiful textures uninterrupted, so if that product has a lanyard option, then the standard option WILL NOT have a lanyard hole included!

For our aluminum options, our STONED (that bright and shiny, raw-like) finish will be the quickest option, with our In the Buff finish being just a few additional processing days for that set to be processed in finishing; however, coated GOATs will add significant time to your order, please see below. 

Beyond that...you are creating a semi-custom to a full custom GOAT...or what we like to call an ORIGINAL GOAT...and will require a little bit more time to be created...so here are some examples...these things happen in production, which may give you a "discount" in that total time and if you have chosen multiple upgrades, you should default to the upgrade with the longest processing time...we will provide some additional examples below:

***PLEASE NOTE GUNSTOCK TEXTURED ITEMS - are run at the end of each scheduled run, so please allow 2-3 WEEKS from the pre-order date provided for that texture to begin shipping!

Pre-Production Modifications:

• Lightweight Milling - 2-3+ weeks

Production Modifications:

• Left, Both and No Pocket Clip Configurations = 4-8+ weeks
• Finger Jimping Addition = 1-2+ weeks
• Stock Clip vs Non-Stock Clip = 2-3+ weeks
• Lanyard Hole Modifications (Adding) = 2-3+ weeks
  

General RAW Finishes (see anodization and coating processing times below): 

• PHRESH - Fastest processing time - 0-3 business days
• STONED - Longest processing time - 1-3 weeks
• BLASTED - Middle processing time - 1-10 business days

ALL Coating/Anodization Services -

• Coatings - Single Colors: 
• Standard colors - 2-3+ weeks

***DEMKO AD20 NOTICE***

We are still receiving a few reports of this odd new "lock stick" behavior that has begun this summer with certain AD20 models. 

Based on posts in the Demko Dynamics FB group and information received, Stock OEM Ti scales are experiencing this issue too, so something has changed to put things in a bind between the lock and the blade. 

We have another "troublemaker" on its way in for a fitment review, as we have already made one adjustment based on the measurements we received from another set that had this issue, but it still does not seem to have been completely resolved the problem.  

We are continuing to produce our Fall 2025 batches, as this is not a global issue, but one OG being affected is enough for us to try to make that GOAT perfect! 

November AD20 Titanium Batch and Hybrid SS orders are currently in a pending status...until at least this next knife is received to see if we can gather more information! 

Christmas orders have moved into production, and we expect the remainder of production to resume after the holiday. We will continue to provide updates when production "officially" resumes. 

BRASS & COPPER

(FALL RELEASE - Sept 22-December 21)

All Brass & Copper items have been produced EXCEPT Cold-Steel AD-10 items!

Due to a material availability issue (we kept trying, but the size just never came in), the Cold-Steel AD-10 option needs to be moved to a different-sized brass plate, so those will be moving into production as soon as that new fixturing has been completed (watch for that production notification) and we greatly appreciate your patience for these special custom options as this was not an expected change!

DROP BEAR

Titanium - Fall 2025 (October - December 21) - In Fitment, and orders have begun to ship, so what for those shipping notifications as these final sets go through their fitment check and any additional finishing requirements. 

 MSI - Titanium

Stitch - Titanium

FALL 2025 (October - December 21) - Queued up, watch for that production notification as these items move into that machine.  Our MSI and Stitch items are delayed by about 3 weeks due to the lightweight upgrade that was made mid-batch last run, so once this machine finishes its current runs, our Microtech Titanium options will begin, and you will receive a notification when your batch starts. 

AD20 Titanium 

Fall 2025 (September 22 - December 21) - See Note above regarding our AD20/AD20S options.  

• Third batch (ordered first weekend in August through Labor Day) - IN PRODUCTION - Paused

November 2025 - PAUSED, see note above, and if this is for a holiday gift, please email us ASAP!

Christmas 2025 - Remaining orders that have been confirmed are in progress and will be shipped by UPS Christmas delivery deadline. 

AD20/AD20S - Titanium Backspacers

RAISED JIMPED - are finishing up in design and are expected to move into production once fixturing has been completed. 

AD20.5 - Titanium

Fall 2025 (October - December 21) - In Production

 Cold Steel AD-10 - Titanium

Fall 2025 (October - December 21) - In Queue 

Vision FG - Titanium

November 2025 - watch for production updates over this next 1-2 weeks, as it is the next item up in that machine's queue. 

 Titanium Pocket Clips

AD20/AD20S/AD20i, AD10 & AD20.5 - October/November Releases

Our new titanium pocket clips are moving through production, but at a much slower pace than our usual product lines. These clips require three separate fixturing setups across the AD20/AD20S, AD20.5, and AD10 platforms, and each model has unique machining requirements that we’re finalizing for long-run production.

• AD20 / AD20S & AD20.5 Clips:
  These are receiving the majority of our current machine time. Early batches are coming off the line now in very small quantities as we dial in the new tooling and fixture revisions needed for consistent, repeatable runs.
• AD10 Clips:
  These are still undergoing final design and fixture adjustments to ensure they perform exactly how we expect — smooth in, smooth out, every time. Once the last fitment refinements are complete, they will move into the same production rotation as the AD20 clips.

Because these are brand-new products for us, the transition from prototype → fixture development → first-batch machining is taking longer than a standard scale run. Once fixturing is fully locked in for all three platforms, production speed will increase significantly.

If your order contains a pocket clip, it will move forward automatically as each batch clears machining and then finishing. Shipping confirmations will be sent the moment your clip is complete.

Thank you for your patience while we bring this new product line to life — the final results are absolutely worth the extra setup time.

MANIX 2/Manix 2 LW Conversion Kit

🚨 QUICK PROJECT UPDATE: The Great Screw Debacle of 2025

Long story short:
The screws this whole kit was designed around were discontinued without warning, thanks to the new tariff chaos. Our “U.S. supplier” neglected to mention that they were imported. Ugg...transparency is key!

We located the only U.S.-made replacement that was close to our original dimensions, but its size/length is different - meaning a full redesign of the scales and our titanium backspacer. Because if the screw changes, the whole geometry changes.

Where things stand:

• Deep in redesign + prototyping

• Testing new geometry

• No release date until testing clears

• Automatic email goes out as soon as production is locked

We know this delay is painful — especially heading into the holidays — but we’re not shipping anything that isn’t 100% OG. Thanks for rolling with us while we tame this beast.

HYBRID-SS

***SEE AD20 NOTICE ABOVE***

Aluminum - queued up, but on hold  

Titanium - currently on hold; 

SHARK CUB / LINERLESS - Titanium

(December 2025) 

We received a report this week of some lock rock, and that knife is coming in for research, so this batch is on a temporary hold until this issue has been researched.  

Please be on the lookout for that new GOAT to be headed your way as they continue to be completed, and we graciously thank you for your patience as we create that special OG for you!
