I bought an extra one in case a fellow Dog did not have the cash to spend on one now and might later when the DFLEs are no longer available. I will sell it to him for exactly what I paid for it (KNIFE, SHIPPING COST AND UNFORTUNATELY TAX SINCE I LIVE IN TX), plus the actual shipping cost to him or her. The tax and extra shipping make it a little more to get it this way but it's better than what many of the secondary market prices will be then. 179.95 + 14.95 shipping = $194.90 store cost. And + $14.95 tax for me = $210.00 my cost. Then add 8-10 dollars shipping to the Dog being "helped out" and it's right at $220.00! All the added costs of doing business immediately drive up the price of any knife that is hard to get. $179.95 sounds great but don’t forget it costs $40.00 more to do some one a favor AT COST (in TX anyway – that darn tax!).

If you decide to get one later when times are better on your budget, send me a PM and if I still have an extra, I would be more than happy to help out!
