I'd appreciate it if we could maintain a positive vibe. Knife collecting should be fun. :thumbup:

there's no such thing as a knife emergency! ('cept if you got one stuck in ya)
Dude, you're talking about me...I ordered 2 of the 5 Field Knives. One for me and one for my older brother Chris. It's not "bad form" or "bad precedence", it's your opinion. Nathan has said, first come first served. I did nothing wrong...
I have held my tongue so far and I would not have won anyway but I have to say this since this is the second time that this has happened in the last 2 weeks:
When the supplies are so tight, it is in bad form and disregard for your fellow CPK enthusiasts when you ask for multiple units. I know that Nathan had stated in the past that he has no problem with this,
but I just could not remain silent even if I should get banished!
Fellas, this is bad decorum and IMHO, multiples should only be requested in a possible preorder thread. One unit per person per occurrence per sales thread when there are so few. Flame me if you want!
EYEYEYEYE!

+1 on the above opinion.
When I realized you were from Australia and had to wake up at some unseemly hours for this, I didn't have any adverse feelings. Now let's drop the negative vibe and I already apologized to Nate for venting. Now I understand that till further notice, one person can claim one, two or multiples without getting castigated. I can live with that and may also join the double dippers in future.
Also, I'm going to propse a 24 hour ban on myself for creating some sh*tstorm. Those in favor say EYEYEYEYE!
Not sure what me living in Australia has anything to do with this...
It is my opinion people here who said they wanted multiples for whatever reason, that are shipping within the CONUS who had only taken one at a time are choosing to pay the $10 shipping twice by splitting their order for the benefit of the community, myself included. Shit, I even paid to bring Lorien's knife up to Canada for him, just to help a brother out.
However when that shipping charge is to OZ, or EU or anything else, it's so expensive it's better to combine shipping. Also due to the time zone difference the hour at which you need to make the sale, it's better to combine as well. Not everyone likes to wake up that early.
Many people have commented in the forum before you started posting that they were impressed that the people wanting multiples were only taking singles in their orders to try and get them into as many hands as possible, but we were all aware it would happen eventually and Nathan said it was OK since the beginning.
That's all.
