I think if GEC planned their stainless off some of the more popular designs and/or designs that seem more designed for wetter environments would be a great way for them to look at and ramp up some of their stainless production to see a growth in their business. This would hopefully limit or reduce the chances of low sales when a stainless is released. I know that the die hard "true" traditionalist want only carbon but stainless can be plenty traditional and often can be the more practical steel for a knife that is used.
