To each their own Ted.

I prefer the new style of buying.

I am not interested in getting caught up in HYPE about MUST do THIS NOW or MISS OUT.

The guy with the iPhone got lucky - period. And not everyone has iPhones. Further, not everyone can sit around a computer for Jerry's schedule.

The fact that you can is great for you. I have been able to on many occassions, but I would rather not dictate my schedule to it other peoples schedules. I would rather have my schedule flexible to my needs and not HAVE to prioritized sitting and waiting for a Ganzaaa when I could be doing other things. And there HAVE been times when I have needed to work and just could not participate.

I would rather focus on the values of the KNIVES than play Go-Go games!

That said, if the primary releases are sold as they have been via orders (S5CG, M9LE, Waki and similar), I am fine with an occassional Ganzaaa for "Unique" and limited items. Just not for standard items.

All of the Fatty's are fine fodder for a Ganzaaa.... I have no interest.
Throw the "overly fat" Hack's in there as well.

I would like to see the Hack with thinner blade and less belly. If thinner, it would probably be one of the best small Busse knives ever. 0.15" thick would be great.

But, personally I feel the Vex and Desert DF should be sold via open buying/ordering..... Maybe Jerry will do so after he has had his fun with his Ganzaaa (?????) - But, you never know though. So, those who miss out will be frustrated one way or another.

I already have a Vex. I HIGHLY recommend the VEX!!!

I already have a DFLE and a Battle Rat and since funds are very tight for me and since I have purchase so many knives recently in spite of this, I will pass on the tan DF and the whole Ganzaaa. I don't really care for the tan Res-C anyway. And I am relieved that none of the other blades fit my needs or desires at this time.

In any event, I know a lot of people have wanted a DF. Here is a good chance that may or may not ever come again (????)
