A number of popular makers do the raffle thing, particularly at shows. I would like to have problems like that. LOL

my first time to run up against that. I just thought it was a bit strange.

Ernie Emerson was the first guy I heard of doing that, but it is apparently not that uncommon amongst the hot tactical makers at shows like Blade and the USN Gathering.

Cody has so many orders he stopped taking them. This is a way to let a few people on the list. Nice problem to have.

Hell I would like to see Brett Dowell or Rick Menefee and others do the same thing. I am too damned old to wait out all the long lines! LOL

I certainly did not mean this question as a slam on Cody. I honestly had never seen anyone have a drawing for who would be allowed to order.

Since I started making knives and hanging out with knife makers, there is no custom knife that I desire like I once did. They are all just knives to me now. No magic in any of them. I can make just about anything I can dream up. There is just no way I would ever get on a list any more.

I wonder how many knifemakers over the years started because the either could not get the knife they wanted or couldn't afford it/didn't want to pay for it? I know that Bob Loveless said that he started making knives because he went to Abercrombie and Fitch to buy a Randall and they either didn't have what he wanted available or they cost too much.

I should have also said that I now completely understand why they cost what they do. I actually doubt if most makers are earning minimum wage for their time.
