i have mixed feelings about this one...
don't understand the reasoning of letting these puppies go into the ganza only to have half or more of them show back up in the secondary market at inflated mark ups.

It's easy to understand: they're a company, they sell product. The faster you can sell it the better. Secondary price gouging and the "games" that somebody described being played in order to bump people out of the race are completely irrelevant to the goal of the manufacturer selling knives.

Easy to understand. Hard to like.
