I ordered mine on friday, and WTF? I find a key in our mail box indicating a package too large for regular post. no freaking way did it get from Kentucky to Utah in T-1 business day! yup there it was all shiny and new. I had it on call till the ducks were in a row. I spoke to Eric for approximately 25 minutes and he patiently answered all my newbie questions. this is my first bussekin blade I have ever held in my hand let alone owned. man what a wicked looking beautiful piece of art. because of the 'on call' status I have #399 in hand. whooo hooo!!!!!
