I feel this need to have both of these knives. I guess it's time to sell something again.
I hate doing that but knives keep getting better and better. As long as I come up with a better knife each time I'm doing ok. If I wasn't trading up it would be a problem.
The problem though is that I've gotten rid of all the knives I didn't really care for, but were worth something. Now, when I trade or sell one off it's going to bother me to a certain extent.
I guess it won't bother me as much as it would if I couldn't get the new Kershaw models I want.

Thomas W. , you stated there was a long lead time on these steels. I wanted to point out that once again Kershaw is breaking new ground here. No other production company has used either of these steels in a production knife. That means everything about it was breaking new ground, including finding the correct heat treat for this application.
I just wanted to say thanks for the extra effort on the part of you, and the rest of the team there.
These knives would have sold in any of a number of steels already saturating the market, and likely cheaper to boot.
Everybody always talks about the excellent quality control, and W&R after sales. Innovation like here, with these new steels, coupled with top of the line design and engineering, and quality materials keeps me coming back despite the tough economy that is effecting me on a daily basis.
I'm not sure whether I should say "keep up the good work", or "lay off for a while and drop the ball on one before I starve".

Good post.
Joe, have you thought about donating plasma? It seems to be a good way to get money to feed addictions. It's cross my mind more than once.
