Thanks, WadeF!
Ordered mine yesterday and got a confirmation that its on the way! I'm very excited! Your pictures of the knife's stunning appearance helped seal the deal. I own another Kershaw knife and I find their quality to be first rate.
I'll let you know when I receive it. I'm also considering a Kershaw Blur for my everyday carry, since this knife will probably see more time in my velvet lined teak knife box than in my pocket.
