See, not to rebel against my elders or anything, but I don't really accept that. If I were waiting for a Busse or custom knife, I'd be okay with it. But I'm not. I'm waiting for an admittedly top-of-the-line semi-production knife. When I ordered my knife, most people expected them in 10 days and received them in about that amount of time. There's really no reason why it should take this long, especially considering that there has been plenty of time for them to design and realize two new knives. I know how much you all hate it when people say "I'll take my business elsewhere", so I won't use that line and i don't plan to actually do any such thing, but you have to imagine what this kind of experience would do to someone who isn't as loyal as I am. I mean, heck, Justin at Ranger Knives has a much smaller shop and made my custom RD7 in three weeks. Personally, I think they should say on their website: "expect long delays in shipping" and provide a lot more information throughout the process. I don't want to spark an arguement here, but I think if you take your (and my) affection for scrapyard knives and their personnel out of the picture and look at this objectively, you'll see that things aren't perfect. Not bad, but also not perfect

I hope no one takes this personally, I love you all! But in the same way you all talk about "back in the day", I'm trying to give you a perspective from a new customer's standpoint.
