Glad you got your DM so quick. It sure is a great knife. I used mine yesterday to cut apart a large cardboard box to go in the trash. It had some of those big copper colored staples on it, and I whacked right through them. That slightly rolled the razor edge, but a few strops on the ceramic rod and it was like new. I also whacked the spine through some of the staples, and some of the finish chipped off the spine.
