DropDogI do agree that I wish some of the other versions were available, especially since this is a pre-order.
My biggest concern is actually the QC issues. It seems the various times this has been carried the grind has been way off and that does bother me quite a bit. I'd much prefer some sort of commitment rather than having to go through the process of a return/refund especially with the situation we have right now.
SoundprankI ended up buying one 2nd hand that had the blade reprofiled with a hand rubbed finish. They also drilled some speed holes into the handle which is nice.
DropDogHmm. That's interesting. Seems like a lot of effort, but I've been holding off due to QC. Might wait to see how the upcoming batch ends up and decide to try to find one second hand also
DropDogI email Drop and was told only the plain handles were available. Yet, as you pointed out, the exact milled version is available. It’s still Drop selling on Amazon, how did Amazon Drop runout And can ship faster than Drops actual page? It would have been nice to get the 1200 points. Response as follows:
Hello Jason,
Thank you for reaching back out to me. Unfortunately, we ran out of inventory faster than Amazon did and we no longer have that option available but Amazon does. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience due to this matter.
Take care,
Crystal
