OK--

I bit the bullet and called to order the Doug Ritter knife.

While she was taking my order, the young lady at Knife Works explained that they had either 200 or 250 knives come in, and they "were all gone" while mentioning that they "sold 150." I thought that meant they had either 50 or 100 in hand and could send me a knife...but...she said they are "out" of knives, and mine will be delivered, in her estimation, in 6 or 8 weeks.

Whatever the situation, I am looking forward to getting it.

Keep me Posted !!!

Coach, I have been carrying a newer Benchmade with 20CV(Xmas present) this past winter. It has opened a lot of boxes and cut quite a bit of cardboard for the last 4 months. Hasn't needed sharpening yet. I really like the pocket clip on it too, easy withdrawing from the jeans pocket. 3.5" blade, weighs 3.7 oz.

I have liked Bohler M390 for a while. Can't go wrong with it IMO.

Thanks Eric.

A knife maker on another forum said that he could NOT tell the difference between m390 and 20cv.
