when are they scheduled to be released??
Thanks
Short of some of the Ganza stuff (which in honesty is priced b/c a lot of it is truly custom) when did Jerry offer an OVERpriced knife?
CGFBM's at $400 base? Steal!
Hell Razors at $300? Steal!
AK's at $500-ish Steal!
Game Wardens for 180-230? STEAL STEAL! Esp. in all of those variants in Satin or DC.
Me personally? I forget how "inexpensive" Jerry's blades are when first issued and tend to use the for-sale prices that crop up 6-12 months later.
I have a feeling the Anni knife might come in at a decent price. Esp. if there is a CG and a LE model.
(EDIT) Of course, I think Jerry has a big pile of INFI out there in teh shop that he bot before steel prices went out-of-sight so he CAN offer us stuff at reasonable prices. If we factor in what steel costs today, we'd be paying 50-100% more for these bad-boys.
No flaming here, but IMO, I think the SOWs were ambitiously priced. Of course, as a result, I DON'T have one of those, so take it for what it is...an opinion by a guy who never had one.![]()
Still, I too am hoping the "anny" SHs will come in at a "user-friendly" price. Somebody told me that they thought they might come in at @ $1,000. All I can say is that I am praying with all my might that that does not happen. Ughhh! Start prayin', HOGs!!! I need some help here!
Hmmm.
I disagree with the SOWs. The knives are HUGE! and custom shop made!
The prices fit in with recent ganza offerings.
But about the anniversary knife, I'm going to have to pass.
IMO....... It's a mistake to offer it so soon to so many extravaganzas, special offerings like the GWs, and not to the mention the holy of holies, the FBM!
oh man.. now i'm feeling bummed..At 1000.00 I would pass on even one. That's way too much. Is still INFI, and less material than a FBM. That would be a rip in my eyes, even if it were an LE and the last batch ever made. The FBMLE was only 700.00.
Just my opinion though, others may feel differently.
