I see the 3 distributors are lined up, seen the initial blank line up, heard September as an initial availability date...
But where are they being made? Where is the factory? The catalog only lists a PO Box in Woodland,WA. Just curious. ----------------- AD Re: North Fork ?

North Fork has acquired the necessary machinery and related equipment to make their blanks in-house right there in Woodland, WA. These will not be imports brought in and then sold under the North Fork label.

A little crazy, I know. Although I must qualify that I have not confirmed these prices myself. The HM is $29 more than the GLX 844.
I'd be curious to see the weights on these blanks. Re: North Fork ?

The blanks will be very light due to the material, construction and the fact that they will be unfinished. No paint, no clear coat.
The final retail prices have not officially been set to my knowledge. However, North Fork intends to produce a high end product and customers should expect the prices to reflect that. They are not trying to be everything to everybody. They're aiming to serve that portion of the blank market that they feel is primarily interested in all out performance and is willing to pay for it. ...................... Re: North Fork ?

I've never regretted quality and expect to pay more for it.
There are a couple blanks that have my attention. Re: North Fork ?

I've been unable to get any infomation on who will be selling north fork blanks or when they will be available. Does any one know if they will be offering a blank equal to the Loomis GLX MB783 ? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
