got mine today. i made a quick video which is currently uploading
mine as marks from the jimping file job.
and it also can with rust in the jimping grooves.
and lots of machining marks on the spine of the knife.
doesnt bother my too much because it will be used but the rust kinda bothers me a little, nothing a file wont take car of i guess

Was going to post pretty much the same response, but you summed it up nicely. Orders are coming out as fast as possible, he's starting a new business. He's probably filling orders as they are completed, not by order #. Also, you can't touch this deal, anywhere, for the price. I for one, would not mind a few small rust spots (hell, my Paramilitary 2 had some), or needing to work on the edge a bit.

I saw that on one of my other knives several years ago, a brand new Landi in 154CM. I actually think it's heat treat scale/residue, not rust. Either way it's unsightly.
I got mine today. Overall fine quality...blade is nice and sharp, grind lines are clean, tumbled finish is really sharp, bow drill divot is nice touch, but a few things I noticed:
-they kydex has the slightest wiggle to it, which is a pet peeve of mine
-Scales are not flush where the pinky and ring finger lie
I think these little things and all the delays are to be expected as he starts off the business. Busse had many of the same things going on when I first ordered from them in the late 90s. Could barely get through to order, and even after I did, I had no idea when my knife was going to arrive.
The only thing I'm disappointed in is that I emailed Guy last week (or the week before...I'd have to check the email) and asked if I could switch my m390 to 3v if there was any 3v extras. He relied right away saying it was done, but sure enough, I got m390, which is a bummer. Guess it's time to make a trade thread

It isn't rust, just scale. Most coated knives have this all over underneath the coating. Guy cuts a few finish corners to keep the price down. :thumbup:

I'll post a detailed review as I did for the GSO-10 as soon as I get a chance, comparing this one to a few similar knives including BRKT Bravo1, SRKW HRLM.
One thing though, I need this to work with a firesteel and just by feeling the spine corners, I'm not thinking this is going to happen as they are quite rounded. Any suggestion for this Guy? Thanks! Beautiful knife and so glad I was able to be part of this pre-order!
