Look what it says on today's Weekly Bites!::D

Good news! You don't have to wait until September to purchase the brand new Santoku Knife. Beginning Aug. 1, write in item #1053 on a personal order and use your Consultant discount to purchase this indispensable, professional-quality tool. Please note that during August you are limited to one.

Part of the Forged Cutlery line, the Santoku Knife is perfect for slicing, dicing and mincing. Grantons (hollow recesses on both sides of the knife) create fine air pockets between the blade and the food and allow the blade to slice through most anything without sticking. This knife gives you all the precision and strength you should expect from fine cutlery.

The Santoku Knife is available to new recruits through the July-August Recruiting Promotion, so now is a great time to pick up yours so that you can show off this wonderful new product to your potential recruits.

It just doesn't say how much it is!:rolleyes: We'll have to wait another week I guess!:)

Well, I guess we get our discount on it which for me is 22% off. Man, I guess I'll wait until October to get it at 60% off.;)

The Santoku knife is $70. Since directors can purchase the knife at 30% off, I wonder if we can purchase more than one and let our downlines get a better discount (20-22%). I know that the extra discount is a perk for directors but in this case I wonder if it would be okay?

Any thoughts? (Ha.....of course, you all have thoughts...the best thinkg about being on this board :D )
 
I didn't get a weekly bites today....but the post above says we can only get one in August.
 
You could always have a show and get it for 50% off or add it to a host order and save that way.

Let me answer my own question :) Just received my Weekly Bites and it says we can only purchase ONE Santoku knife in August.
 
I was hoping we'd get a bigger discount;) Oh well, at least we can get it early if we want.
