Sure. And sometimes I even break my own rules. But the question that's important - no matter the money I might make (especially when I bought the knife at dealer price and not secondary), will I want the knife back later and then be willing to pay more than I paid from the dealer. I've had to go out and hunt down some knives that I sold before, including one Copperhead 77...

The non-Elderberry could grow on me. 
It is a nice knife. I’m a little partial to single blades, but these are 2 of my favorite blades.
The clip is absolutely perfect with great pull and snap. However you rate the clip, the coping blade is a good 1-2 stronger on mine with very weak snap.

I love the color on your Elderberry (or non-Elderberry). It looks great!

I’m getting excited for Wednesday. I hope my saw cut looks that dark.

The secondary will get better snap with a good washing/oil flushing, and some use. The bolsters and pivot are really tight.

Waiting for Wednesday, too. I'm not so thrilled with how pink the Elderberries look, but I'm hoping I like mine when I see it in person. Trying not to be jealous of the Ironwoods. I'm happy to have gotten one at all.

Very pleased with these. I love the ironwood and my daughter called dibs on the pinkberry which is growing on me. I showed a pic of square versus round butt. I personally prefer the round but I think I'm the minority. I like how they melt in your hand, not in your mouth

Wish mine was a bit more pink with more white splotches, but I'm really happy with this knife. A smoothbone with a squared butt. How could I not love it?
Wash it with really hot water with a toothbrush. That die will leave quickly.

Mine is due Wednesday, as well. Great to hear about the improvement on the secondary.
Also agree wholeheartedly about how much appreciation I am feeling for the stress you endured to get this round out to us, Mike. I just hope the experience hasn't soured you on doing another batch.
