KG can speak for himself (and he may do so in one of his signature lengthy posts that we all love), but invoking Floyd to point out the triviality of steel-lust isn't necessarily melodrama - I find it quite amusing, given the circumstances.
If KG is pointing out just how trivial all this is, then maybe I am wrong about his state of mind. If that's the case, I apologize for my interpretation and retract my claim of melodrama.
However, the Pink Floyd notwithstanding, there still seems to be an awful lot of angst in that posting (and this thread in general), and I don't know that one brand of knife is worth all that.
I like to play with the hype on the Busse forum, but I've never been one to get upset if I missed a knife. Nor have I been one to express sincere impatience over a Ganzaaaa decision or a delivery. Waiting is part of the fun, and I sort of enjoying watching others go ape when instant gratification doesn't materialize. Others' mileage may vary.
I think everyone here should order a Randall from the company and then just breathe. From the Randall order page... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
