From the "Give us a hint, Dan" thread...


Sounds promising.

Although he may have been referring to the DF's, SOD's and DM's that are at Blade right now... but one can hope! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Do we know if this is a show offering only or will they be up for sale / pre-sale elsewhere?

How did I miss this thread?

Awesome!

I have strange feelings inside...I want one!

I'm pretty confident that since they are taking pre-orders at Blade, they will surely offer pre-orders to the rest of the Dogs as well. The only difference will be the great Blade discount, which we will not see.

From a business perspective, if they haven't made them yet and only have pre-orders...it makes no sense to not take in additional pre-orders (when you know there's a conglomerate of Dogs who didn't make it to Blade), since it will only drive your margins up with each additional pre-order since you can scale production. It would be the equivalent of turning down guaranteed sales when you have the capacity to manufacture as many as needed.

It would be different if they ran a production run of 100, and then would need to tool up / etc to get another production run completed. However, as far as we know...Dan may already have the blanks produced (ala: show samples), so there may be a limit already set and they could use feedback from Blade to determine if they go full production or keep it small.

So this is what you guys have been up to since I have been gone...

I really never thought I'd see a sword from the yard.

Texas really is a great state.

Well, I did promise my wife that I would not buy anymore knives this year. Guess it is a Scrapizashi then, it's a sword not a knife.

But we need specs and prices, and please transfer the blade rebate to all those unfortunate souls that live on the other side of the world and could not make it to Blade.

Rationalize it all you want my friend, but that's all it is...rational lies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure your wife will be most understanding when the sword shows up and you explain "But baby, it's not really a KNIFE, it's more of a SWORD." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Good luck!

It's an excuse, I agree it is not a very good one but you have to start somewhere and work from there. I mean I could argue the zombicalypse around the corner but my guess is, it wouldn't go over well with my rather "rational" wife.
