plain edge gunting

Simona,
No no, see... I do not want to trade, but Bram, he does not believe it, yes?
So I wish to add it to his collection. I assume he would wish to have one of every kind that was made, and since this one is obviously not in his possession, I figure, why not return it to the father?
I would be honored for him to have it.
But I still want My Gunting so I offer it to him for a regular model and on top of that a little something so I know how to hold her in the right way.

I ordered it from a friend. Supposedly there are no more...
I did not know this is so much in demand. Personally I don't care between PE and CE so much for a SD knife. I like plain edge for a user knife because serrations are so hard to sharpen properly.
Bram gets first pick then if a Guntaholic here likes I will be happy to trade or sell to someone who will appreciate her more.

Ok.
This is the skinny, from a little research, as far as I can understand it. No guarantee it's correct.
1- This is not a joke. I really do have a fully plain edge S30V "3rd gen"* Gunting in my hot little hands. I LOVE S30V compared to the gummy, tough nightmare that is 440V.
2- There were less than 100 total plain edge S30V Guntings made to fill backorders and some extras.
3- It is very unlikely more will be made in the future unless there is a significant amount of interest.
4- My dealer friend has a line on the remaining 5 in the distributor network, but he's new to the dealer situation and he only takes money orders, not paypal or credit cards. (This is not a scam...although it sounds like it...!) The distributor doesn't seem to be able to get any more in PE, so that seems to confirm #3.
This is as I understand it...
I can send interested parties his email address. His prices are rather competitive, to boot.

* I think these would count as 3rd gen -- as far as I could find out, there was the 1st gen in 440V, then a 2nd gen with revised lock parameters in 440V, and then this one, a 3rd gen, in S30V with revised clip position and lock parameters. I couldn't find a history online...

Bram,
I sent you email.
I didn't mean training in person -- I'm not at the level yet where I would be able to absorb as much as I should, and I wouldn't attend a seminar without paying.
I had just meant tips and maybe if you'd had any extra copies of the first vol of your DVD training set lying around... I have some rudimentary training, but this tool definitely needs Gunting-specific training and knowledge to use properly.
But anyhow, as I stated above, my dealer seems to have another 5 at the distributor -- I sent you his email address if you'd like to buy up the rest.
Thanks again,
-Jon
