Buck 110,
You're a little mixed up.....the post of mine that you quote was not in response to the other person you quote.
Go back and read where I said that "orders get canceled, knives are returned, mistakes are made (Oh, how well we know that mistakes are made) and ownerless knives or returned knives wait for the next guy to order his "custom" knife" (that is identical to the returned "knife in waiting").
Then the knife is sent to that person.
See it now? Buck may not want to call them "in stock," but that's what I'd call them. So, sometimes we get a custom knife incredibly quickly.
In my own experience I once got one in less than a week. It would have had to have been made in one day and was in fact shipped the day after I ordered it.
And this was at a time when others were waiting six weeks.
Are you understanding what I'm saying?
Why so angry and defensive?
Why all the rage and accusations when I state a simple fact?
Apparently I hit some sort of Buck nerve here, but I really don't understand the venom on such a small issue.
