Maybe "Second" just means Guy needs some cash that second.There have been multiple reports (perhaps even in this thread) where people get their 2nd and can't find any issues at all.
Sure, that's not a direct comparison, but a "2nd" is sold as a flawed item. Kind of weird that multiple people recieve a "flawed" knife without flaws.
And it's even weirder that you can pre-order a 2nd. Makes it seem that the existence of 2nds is actually intentional rather than items that just didn't make the cut.
