Some people like the saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity". BS.

That saying is a convenient black and white stance to take on the subject- that has a lot of grey area... but in this case- I think it's valid.

Side note- I've read horror stories about certain brands and controversy regarding their materials and business practices... the fact is it does get people talking about their brand (even if for the wrong reasons) when they could have drifted off into obscurity if it wasn't for that. Do I think that they could be more successful with good press? Obviously. But talking bad about a brand is better than not talking about it at all. Could controversy also kill a brand? Of course... too much bad press- will eventually be a bad thing.
 
"hey sorry, we over sold, we cant fulfill your order"

me "are you going to do something for me due to the inconvenience, disappointment and frustration?"

"no, sorry.... have a nice day"


I am now on my 12th attempt at completing the entire checkout process at GP. this is insane

sounds like knifecenter
 
I just now completed an order with GPKnives and got a confirmation email. We shall see what happens when the smoke clears on their end.

Wow... Just wow...
 
Even though I received a confirmation email I'm not going to stop worrying until it's actually in hand.
 
Good thing I could care less about ZT. I would rather own a real Eklipse any day of the week. Feel bad for all you ZT fans that miss out on every limited release. No wonder theres so much animosity towards this company.

So why post here? I'm sure you and your infinite wisdom are sorely missed in the other forums already.

Back on topic. Congrats to those that were able to score one. Can't wait to get mine.
 
ha ha ha, they are just bombed, the worst of all vendors as far as I can tell

 
"Hi Paul this is knife center again, my supervisor is e-mailing you a $5 gift card"

anyone want my $5 knife center gift card? If I get it that is.

GPKnives finally answered their phones and told me that their online inventory is 'real time'. Checking out for the 15th time

Rick continues to sell his Eklipse model, you can wait for one of those if you truly like the design. Ultimately LE's aren't meant to be produced in production numbers. This same argument occurred last year with the 0454....then magically this year a production model appeared. ZT knows what they are doing and can accomplish. Let the sales and demand build up and determine if a full production is feasible. They already had to change the steel type due to lack of availability, so there may be a lot of different reasons they cannot mass produce....not to mention the fact that rick supplies all the hardware and even he cant keep up with demand for his own products. We shuld be happy that ZT has the balls to try something like this.....its nothing like a spyderco sprint run, those analogies are just BS. Plus their sprints are based on models that have been in production for years whereas this is a new model and process for ZT.

regarding emails sent....that's a newsletter bot, its unaware of supply and demand issues, anyone who signed up for the newsletter gets it regardless of their interest in the 0392.

I agree with you on most counts. Only difference is I never said its like sprint runs. I wish it was. I think ZT could benefit from doing LEs more like sprints as far a quantity. True hinderer might limit the ability as far as hardware but then what about all the other LEs? Once you're tooled up to make 300, how much harder would it be to make more? I admit I'm no expert. It just seems like the tiny quantities are more about hype and less about limited resources. If that's the case I believe there's a magic # where you get lots of hype because more people have it and talk about it and post pics of it. With 150-30" you get hype for a short period of time but a LOT of people that feel hurt for a LOT longer.

Good thing you scored. Otherwise maybe youd be one of the many that hold a little bitterness towards yet another ZT fiasco.

If he makes it in a non-Tanto like the 0392, I'll probably grab one. Just not a fan of the Tanto grind.
