Unfortunately, Tormek US says they are on a container ship that has been delayed. Their arrival is estimated for June with no date specified.

I just spoke with Sharpening

Supplies, and they said the new knife jigs will not be available in the U.S. until June (no specific date). 

I recently ordered 2 rock hard felt wheels from Durofelt.  The service was great, and I received them quickly.  One of wheels was true, but the other was not.  The felt inserts that are made to work with Tormek had variable quality.  I found that they are not all drilled straight, which results in wheel wobble.  Durofelt promptly replaced the wheel and insert that were defective. 

I am incredibly sorry to hear of Vadim's death.  He was an inspiration as well as a wealth of knowledge about sharpening.  He challenged many of the long held beliefs about how to sharpen effectively through actual metallurgical research.  I am so sad that his family has had to deal with his loss.  He will definitely be missed.
