for the clarification. I am envious that you are tight enough with the "Guys" so as to call them your friends.
As for getting excited about their products and wanting others to be...I feel the same, and I only have the S30V GB.(An awesome design, brilliantly executed.)
I have bunches of Busses and am crazy about them, but that GB has completely done a number on my head. So, like you it has felt like Xmas eve since I first saw a picture of the framelock. Already, it has been a loooong Xmas eve. I can't wait to get my mitts on that baby.
I only hope the G-10 is rigid enough to support more than minor lateral stress...But I guess if Mick says it's strong, it is. Nice to be in this group, G.
