I think people are starting to see that the flippers aren't going to have too much luck right now with more still to come (at least that is what I'm inclined to believe but someone correct me if I'm wrong). Right now there is one in the exchange that has been sitting there for a while and I imagine it will remain until they lower the price or someone gets itchy and snags it while still high.
Regarding people buying it purely for flipping right away I'm definitely inclined that it is distasteful. Everyone is welcome to their own opinion but when a company goes out of their way to make a special limited edition knife for their loyal fans and someone decides to snatch them up just to make a quick profit and take away opportunities for those that actually want to keep the knife and will appreciate it I'm just left disgusted. If someone ended up getting two because they weren't sure if they could get one from company x then I don't have any problem if they want to sell it, just don't go out of your way to price gouge and end up in the same camp as those who are flipping purely for profit.
Edited to add that this is not directed at anyone, just my general feelings on the issue.

They were sent to dealers, sold out, then they got more. Or some dealers got their batches after others. No more will be shipped out, all have left the factory. What is for sale now is it.
1000 sounds like a lot, but look at how awesome this knife is. And how much people care about it. Great things go quick

Exactly. $450 is a reasonable price for these, at least right now. Still too rich for me to jump in but definitely a better deal for $100 less.
Am I missing something? I just ordered one for $320 shipped from a dealer. Are they really out of stock everywhere?
(to anyone that emails me - no I will not tell you where I got it. If you want it badly, you will find the dealer easily, chances are you've bought from them before).

We really don't need anymore deal spotting regarding this knife. There are2-3 threads with "alerts" going up every other post. If someone doesn't know where by now, they don't need one.

As far as I'm concerned, there were many opportunities for people to buy this knife. I was actually surprised at the amount of opportunities that I had to buy a few if I was so inclined. If you missed out, it was pure bad luck, or just pure laziness, or not wanting it that much in the first place on your part. As far as sellers flipping it, I could care less. If someone is willing to pay the price, then good for both of them and its really none of any of our business really.
I really don't see any difference in someone flipping a knife for a small profit and a collector holding on to it for awhile until it really is a rare and popular item, then selling it for 2-3 times the amount. They are doing the same thing really. Just different time frames. In fact, the quick flippers are actually offering it for less than the long hold collectors will be. Imagine if everyone were like that. The opportunity to own one would shrink even more for ones who didn't get one. If a collector is complaining about a flipper, that person is being a hypocrite. If you have one, great, be concerned with the one(s) you have, let the other guy who has his, do with it what he/she wants. It's theirs...not yours. End of story. If you don't have one, go buy one. They are still out there.

I got the email from Kershaw Dave a while ago when my place in line was ready.
Too bad didn't have the funds to get it. That frees up one spot for some lucky dude

So true... Seems like over the last few weeks you could get one on any given day.
First Thanks to ZT and Kershaw for make this great knife.
I realy happy that i am lucky enough to get one for the price Dapper Dan is not willing to pay.
The shipping to Austria is a lot more than 20$ and of corse i must pay tax on custom.
If someone don`t like great knifes for adequate price point maybe they should go this way.
Hope it is ceap enough.

Not that I really care about it, but your link might be deleted by mods...i think its against the rules. I wonder what the blade metal on that copy is made of? I would bet it is absolute garbage.
Congratulations on your 0560CBCF acquisition! Enjoy!

You are right, and you shouldn't quote that kind of thing. It makes more work for someone else.

I paid $425 for mine from a dealer, and for what I got I am totally happy, and have no complaints. This is truly an awesome knife and Kershaw/ZT put a lot work into it, so paying $425 for it to me was money well spent.
