Mr. Ralph is already working aggressively on Project Gemini and has been for some time.

As Mr. Ralph becomes comfortable releasing them, sketches and concept drawings may be posted.

Mr. Ralph hopes to have prototypes ready for evaluation by Clay and me by the end of the year. Pictures will be posted as soon as possible.

Currently, three prototype Geminis are planned. After their use for design validation, these prototypes may be offered for sale as well. Details will follow. Because of their special nature, these prototypes will command considerable prices.

Once the prototypes are approved, Mr. Ralph will begin working on specific customer's pieces. Delivery will, hopefully, begin in approximately February of 2001. The full edition will take about 12 to 18 months to deliver. The order of delivery will be determined by complexity, material availability, and simply by Mr. Ralph's muse. (In other words, there will be No Whining if somebody else gets theirs before you get yours!)

This is a complicated project and Mr. Ralph does do all of the work himself by hand. So, the schedule is quite variable. Potential customers are cautioned that there may be a considerable wait. This is quite common with custom knives from such sought-after makers.
