I'd like to be inducted by Scrap Yard, but from what I've heard about the chaos of buying knives at Blade, I'll stick to Knob Creek (which also has the advantage of being close to home). I'll just have to make do with the 'ganza scraps from Blade. It appears that missing Blade won't restrict access to the MPLE release though, since Dan said:
I will be taking a small quantity of the lower numbered knives to the Blade Show while also making them available in the shopping cart on our site…more details to follow.
