None of my business, but what was sufficiently tempting to trade a Gadius for? I agree on the BOSS Jacks -- I had such high expectations, they look great and the handles felt good, but the balance seemed too blade-heavy to me. I know other folks love them (and I hope everyone who I got them for as a proxy feels that way) but I fully expected to load up on them, and returned with none for myself.

I believe that I'm going to sit this 'ganza out. The only things that tempt me are the DSF, which I passed on them in Terror Monkey camo at Knob Creek in favor of Comp finish BWMs and Bama Clay RMDs/HRLMs, and the Comp Finish Chopweiler. I've had ample opportunities at Chopweilers, but the handle shape just doesn't click for me, so there's no good reason to be tempted by them now; I suppose it's the one-time offer, very limited quantities marketing thing, which makes me feel more like a pigeon than a Dog/Rat/Hog.

Thanks to Jeff, I already have a B11 and a Desert DF from Blade, as well as a Zilla 2, Custom Shop Gladius, and three Scrapizashis on order (and so yet to pay for). That should be plenty, and if I keep saying that and stay keep away from my computer, I'll be OK.
