I saw where Vic posted that he canceled his NMBM order on BladeForums and wondered if more was going on. I now see that it is. After discussions earlier this year, I expected a bit of Glasnost by now, but admit to feeling as deeply in the dark as ever. However, I think the Yard is every bit as much a social place as a place to buy knives.
If Tom hadn't been so kind as to hook me up when he went to Blade, I'd have nothing since the initial release of DMDCs. Also, it's certainly frustrating when periodic crackdowns about discussing other knife brands and models occur when so little has been released to talk about otherwise. It's been a long, dry Summer, but I still hope that that things will turn around and that folks will hang around for it.
