Has anyone bought one of the Ring Opener knives from Canal Street Cutlery? I'm especially interested in fit/finish and mechanism smoothness.
Considering the price and hype about craftsmanship, I was slightly disappointed in the only CSC knife I've purchased so far.

I'd love one of the Ring Openers, but only if the craftsmanship matches the price.
Thank You,

P.S. As a side note, I wonder if CSC is having production problems with that model? The latest mailing from AG Russell says he sold out of his first 100 already. But Cumberland Knife Works has not even recieved their's yet and is threatening to not carry the knife as a result. Knifeworks hasn't had them listed either.
