It's hard to understand at first but the bottom line is this: Read these forums. Watch to see when the new knives are going to come out. They will usually post a thread to let you know in advance. Buy ASAP or you will miss out and have to buy on the secondary market. If you want something that has already been issued, you will have to get it from someone on the exchange. These companies are somewhat different from other production knife companies (ie: instead of offering a full line, these folks discontinue their current model and move to a new one). Models are available for a limited time on the sites. So, get em while they are hot if they strike yer fancy.
