SkwaveTo be fair, two weeks ago they were trying to sell 250 of them. From what I can tell of this more recent drop its only looking to fill 25 pre-orders. So it would be at a higher price point more in line with other retailers. That said, it is still an exclusive color that can't be purchased elsewhere.
TomBombadilI just got my Backlash in the mail, I don't think BladeHQ will have an issue. This is more of a cornflower blue than a BladeHQ blue. The picture on the drop makes the blue seem much brighter, this is more of a blurple. Still a great knife for the price though.
