Yep I'd prefer it all at once. That way I know whether to budget it in or not.

To be perfectly honest- I like to actually handle a knife BEFORE I buy. I have several knives that looked really great- specs were good and after I held it- I didn't like it at all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. Not just Busse- but many others too. With Busse-I know I can alawys sell if I desire and at a profit <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> . With many others- this is just not the case. I even have knives that I thought both looked and felt great- and when I got them in the field I didn't like the performance. I can usually tell how well I likke a knife when I sharpen it. If I can't drop a fast field edge on a knife- it is " thumbs down" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" /> . The other side of the coin is sometimes I buy a knife just on a whim and it turns into one of my best users <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. So- in the end it is an educated crap shoot. With Busse-I am usually more than pleased. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
As for Ganza steel- the whole process can be fun and if I hit on something I just smile <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.Not that big of a deal to me. If I took collecting knives too serious- i would just find something else to do. For me it is just about pure fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am sure your constructive criticism is always appreciated ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I mean .... there has'nt been that many posts about negativity in the yard ... only about half a dozen .... and I hope you don't mind my joking about it .... but a joke sometimes is better than saying something straight ... if you see what I mean ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But for me I cannot see any harm in an initial photo .... the spec's follow in due course ... but it is nice to have a "fun" aspect to it all rather than taking things too seriously ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Specs ASAP are preferred.

Please add WEIGHT to the specs as well.

Great read Bruce- I have a copy on my night stand and the study book. Peter did bring out some very good thoughts. It's all good.......matter of fact it's GREAT <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I voted for number one since I kinda get a feel for the knife based on other knives. I love holding a knife first but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. I know a lot of people love the S5 but I found it not to my liking but I like the S5. Wierd, I know. I hope I will like the Reg and Dereg based on how much I like the TT Reg. Looks like we will be finding out soon.

Of course, it's not my call, but I like information as soon as possible -- I'd even like a drawing with specs before the first blade gets ground if they'd post it.

Well, personally I like it all at the same time. But Starting with "teaser' tidbits about a knew knife such as the Weiner dog Pic. Then after the "board" had started cracking with excitement and speculation post a picture. Then let the excitement build even higher and then list the specs. AND finally, just shortly after the specs list the price and when it will be available. BUT PERSONALLY, I WOULD LIKE IT ALL AT ONCE. Oh and also list heat treat, through or differential and hardness.
