Saw dogrunner's post about the restock of SJ's at about 3:30.
Mulled the idea around for a good two-and-a-half-hours. Pulled up old threads and looked for pics & information on the SJ. Weighed the Black/Black and the Olive Drab/Black countless times. Even went so far as clipping pics of the OD blade & Black Canvas TAC handle from the Busse Combat main site and then Photoshopping them together so I could see what the combo would look like. (I'm not gay enough to be so good with colors.)
Then, I saw a picture of a FSH in OD/Black in the Gallery and really liked it. So, I struck up the courage to order. I added a large green/black lanyard to my cart. Easy enough at $3.95... a good deal and should match the knife pretty well. Then, I added the OD/Black SJ to my cart, and...
WHAT?!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!!
The OD/Black SJs disappeared from the Product List! Man, you've never seen anybody finish a checkout so fast in your life.
After I completed the order and read a confirmation email and calmed my pulse and wiped the sweat from my brow, I checked the "Order Here" page. Sure enough, the OD/Black SJs were gone. Jerry and the gang may put up some more, but who knows? I couldn't have cut it any closer on this one. Man, I would have been really ticked at myself if I'd spent all that time deciding and then missed my chance.
Well, my first Busse should be on its way! As long as the software had the count right (knock wood).
Otherwise, I'll just be sad (but $265 richer, I guess).
