Order Status & Production Updates

Before You Reach Out

We know waiting on an order can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience as we continue improving how Original GOAT operates.

This page serves as the primary source for production updates, platform status, and current fulfillment information. Before contacting Customer Care, please review the information below, as many common questions can be answered here.


Material Update

Original GOAT is transitioning to titanium as our primary production material.

Existing aluminum orders remain active and will be fulfilled, but aluminum is no longer part of our standard production rotation.



Current Production Focus

Follow our current shop sequence below to see what is running now, what is next, and what follows.

🟢 NOW IN PRODUCTION

COLD STEEL - AD10

Scales
Pocket Clips
Cold Steel AD10 brass scales, pocket clips, and titanium/aluminum scales are moving into fixturing engineering. Once new dynamic fixturing updates have been completed, production will begin.

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

🟡 NEXT IN PRODUCTION

DEMKO - AD20/AD20S/AD20i

Scales
Backspacers
AD20 scale and backspacer fixturing and backlog production follow the AD10 work.

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

🟠 THEN

DEMKO - Hybrid (Conversion Kit)

Conversion Kit
AD20/AD20S/AD20I Aluminum Conversion Kits are expected to move into fixturing and manufacturing after AD20 scale and backspacer work. There will be a pause between aluminum and titanium production to address any final feedback received on this brand-new option.

Last Updated: September 1, 2026



Current Production Flow

Every production cycle follows the same process:

1. Reservations First

  • Limited reservation orders are completed first.

2. Inventory Rebuild

  • Core products are restocked

3. Release & Rotation

  • Inventory is released, and the next production cycle begins.

This approach allows us to maintain availability while preventing unlimited backlogs.



Existing Orders vs Future Production

Existing customer orders and future production planning are tracked separately.

If you already have an order in our system, your order remains in queue and is not affected by whether a platform is currently being restocked, accepting reservations, or collecting Priority Access interest.

A platform may not currently be available for new orders while existing customer orders continue to move through production.



Existing Order Fulfillment Status

The information below applies to customers who already have orders in our system.

DEMKO - AD20/AD20S/AD20i

CORE GOATS
Pocket Clips: 🟢 Finishing/QC
Scales: 🟡 Upcoming
Backspacers: 🟡 Upcoming
+

Pocket Clips

Current Milestone All AD20/AD20S/AD20i/Compact titanium pocket clips have been produced, and finishing is occurring on any remaining finishing requests.
Next Milestone Ship the final remaining single finished pocket clip (see note below for BLASTED requests) orders.
What This Means for Existing Orders

* BLASTED - slight delay as new media and a blasting cabinet were acquired to get the original blasted finish, so that these new clips match our previous finish. We will get those last remaining clips home as soon as possible!

* International, Combined Requests, Finished Scale/Pocket Clip Combos, and Bundles are being held for full order completion. If you wish to bypass a previous request or separate a combo/bundle to send that finished clip home now, please contact us, and we will assist.

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

Scales

Current Milestone AD20/AD20S titanium scales are awaiting completion of the production work currently ahead of them before transitioning to our new dynamic fixturing system.
Next Milestone Complete and validate the new AD20/AD20S scale fixturing, then resume titanium scale production beginning with the remaining backlog.
What This Means for Existing Orders

Existing scale orders remain active. Production will be batched by compatible texture and configuration whenever practical, so individual orders may not move in strict order-date sequence. Lightweight, specialty configurations, and custom finishing may require additional processing.

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

Backspacers

Current Milestone AD20/AD20S backspacers are awaiting their transition to the new dynamic fixturing system and will move forward with the upcoming AD20/AD20S scale work.
Next Milestone Complete and validate the updated backspacer fixturing, then resume production alongside the remaining AD20/AD20S backlog.
What This Means for Existing Orders

Existing backspacer orders remain active. Backspacers ordered with matching scales or other components may be produced, finished, and shipped with those items whenever practical.

Future Production & Priority Access

Not every platform can be produced simultaneously.

Future production decisions are based on:

  • Customer demand
  • Priority Access participation
  • Inventory performance
  • Production capacity

Platforms not currently in active production may be available through our priority access lists.

Joining a Priority Access List:

  • Helps us determine future production priorities
  • Does not guarantee production timing
  • Ensures you are notified if a platform returns


Finishes & Customization

To improve consistency and availability, Original GOAT has simplified standard production.

Current standard titanium finishes:

  • PHRESH
  • STONED
  • BLASTED

Special Finishes & Customization

Additional finishes such as anodization and other customizations are not part of standard production.

These options may be offered during:

  • Special Events
  • Limited Releases
  • Community-Voted Projects

We do not accept individual custom requests outside of those releases.
