I almost forgot I jumped on this pre order the first day Kershaw Dave had em up. Kind of forgot about the whole knife all together. Hope I can come up with the $ moolah in time otherwise might have to pass it on to someone else.

To paraphrase another BFC member, "WOW!"

You definitely should read more and post less. One post seems to be way too many for you.

Ok so I have been reading these forums for a long time but never wanted to post before but I just had to here.

A lot of you guys have rose-colored glasses on about this, I know we all like Kershaw but lets be real. The real take away I got from Thomas’s update was that “getting the 0777 to market was not a priority”. It wasn’t that machining was taking a long time, or waiting on parts, or assembly problems. It was they stopped caring about it. The thing they had already presented to the world, the thing that we, their die hard fans wanted, and they kept telling us they were working on (and was coming soon) the whole time just wasn’t worth working on.

Not that I like or own any Microtech but how do you think they were able to copy the knife and get it to market a year before Kershaw even without seeing it before Blade? They actually care about what enthusiasts want to buy and make getting it to market a priority.

I have no idea why Kershaw would (by their own admission) blow off their most ardent fans, I guess they got more tied up in what other companies were doing than thinking about their own customers.

If you are reading this, if you bought more than two ZT knives in the last year, if you have a 0777 reserved, that likely puts you in the top 1% of Kershaw’s customers. I would think that would make us their highest priority. It is a shame we aren’t.

I am still looking forward to the knife but I am not going to pretend that this isn’t a customer service failure.

Saddens me deeply that I probably won't be able to get one of these beauties, since I missed the preorder.

When they are released, if any of you guys who ordered more than one or two of these is willing to sell theirs for a profit, I'll be in the market.

:D I'm a gambling man, and I've got the last of the fresh Twinkies in America!

Twinkies should be the new code word for high capacity magazines! There isn't a 30rd PMAG left for sale anywhere on this planet.
 
Wow, tough crowd. Thats ok though, I still love you all. :) I just took it pretty hard after 18 months of reading ever single 0777 post and reading about how it was making progress only to find out that they hadn't really been working on it. I would have been totally ok with them working on a high priority Walmart order instead, if they just would have been up front about taking a 6 month break from working on it. I have faced delays with custom work before, with timely accurate updates I have never minded a long wait.

I do have two 0777s reserved from different vendors and low numbers at that. One for carry and one for the safe so I don't cry on the day I drop the carry one. I will just go back to searching every two days for any 0777 related posts. I only say that because some of you seem to think that I don't care about Kershaw, quite the opposite, they are right down the road and they are my home team. Enjoy your evening guys, and I do respect the passion.
 
Oregon Gopher, your second post is much better than your first.

Your words about Microtech were too nice. Microtech is a little bee-och. They didnt do this because they care about the consumer :barf: They thought "how can we be douche bags today." And they were very successful at being Douch Bag Bee-oches.

Spent the day looking, Pmags are the new Blue Blur. Magpul better get to work! Shipments still might be showing up at shops, if you find some grab me a few please. Ill trade my loaded Pmags for a 0777... seems like a fair deal.

Zing!
 
No kidding! Not familiar with Vanax steels performance. Really want to see how fine an edge it will take and for how long.
