WOW!
I just called the number that Mr Snody provided to find out what he meant by nicer handle wrap, and to my surprise it was the man himself who answered the phone.
You really couldn't speak to a nicer guy, in speaking with him he made me feel like my order was a priority( as is everyone else's ). He told me that the new wrap is the type that he used on the Damascus Boss model, which has an impregnated resin. He said that it is by far a superior wrap as compared to what the original would've been, he also said that it'd increase the value of the knife.
Mr Snody said they'd be going out very soon and thanked me MANY times for my patience and my business.
What a stand up guy!
He took my name and told me to keep in touch about finding other models of Snody knives that I want to add to my collection. I have to say that even though I've never met the man, while talking to him on the phone he makes you feel like you've known him for years. Makes me happy that my money is going to a guy directly instead of to the corporations that often exploit the names of the great knife makers and designers.
I hope that he spends it happily feeding his family at Red Lobster ;D just something that he said.
Now that I know that the time to arrival is truly short, and that I should have it before my vacation down south, my excitement and desire to finally receive the knives has risen to new heights.
It's weird how waiting for something can be so fun.
Thank you Mr Snody for your patience with me on the phone, take care.
