New ZT/Hinderer Flipper is Coming!!!0560/0561

No prob Nader ;) ya I didn't pay near $400, and I agree it isn't worth the extra if you are on the pre order, I gave the info for those knife addicts that can't wait. Lol

I've touched her and her twin sister. Flipped them both and gave them a thumbs up! She was a great first date and both are worth the wait! :D

I won't even talk about how smooth their cousin the 777 was! Dang! Makes you wanna come back for more!

Man, you are killing me!!!:D
 
I have an XM-18. I bought it straight from Rick for $385.

It’s a great $400 knife. I might even pay $500 for one.
But, there is no way I would pay the insane, ($800+) prices people are asking for that knife, they aren’t that good.

$400 for a 0560 is just as laughable.

Yup, I agree. I hope they don't come out of the gate with some stupid price on them - my XMs don't need company that bad, they'd slum around with Cold Steel first. ;)

Very true! I did pay $790 for an xm-24 recently though. Lol I had to see what all the fuss was about. How did you get one direct from Rick?

I wrote him a letter and asked if he had any available.

I was a volunteer firefighter at the time, although I didn’t mention that in my letter. Perhaps he found my name on the firefighter database. Maybe he just liked the professional, courteous way that I asked him. Maybe he was happy to hear that I was actually going to use the thing instead of flipping it for a huge profit or putting it in my safe. Dunno. I was pretty surprised that he sold me one though. I wish I would have written him sooner.

Oh please. The secondary market regularly brings forth upticks (some very substantial) in pricing with all kinds of knives, and you know this. While a premium priced knife may not be for you, it works for a pretty big segment of the knife buying community. This is not a bad thing, and I'm unsure why you're making it sound that way.
 
I can't figure how some people are upset about these shipping, even if its not to them. They're getting made, just unbunch your panties, grab a beer and warm up a comfy chair. Looks like it'll be quite a while before the 561 I've preordered comes and thats not a problem at all.
