Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...
I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..
Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

It’s been almost a year since we launched the Falcon, our first collaboration with Ferrum Forge, and about six months since we launched the Gent, our third collaboration and most recent new model. In between, we launched the Crux - all of these have been exciting, and well-received by the community...but, if you know the FFKW guys, you know they like to push the envelope when it comes to big knives with bold lines and aggressive blades. This fourth collaboration with Chris and Elliot of Ferrum Forge has been in the works for quite awhile, and we’re glad we can finally share it with the community.
Elliot’s design for this knife was inspired by Asian cavalry sabres. At the back, the Buc's prominent lanyard hole is derived from the ring at a sword's pommel which allowed horse-mounted soldiers to retain control of their weapons in battle by keeping them tied to their wrists with silk or cloth. The blade’s broad tip helps to generate momentum - originally, this was to build force when swinging a sword at enemies while riding. While we hope this is not your primary use for the Buc, it does make for a swift and satisfying deployment.
“Okay, so why is it called the Buc?” Fair question... we thought it looked like a pirate saber, so we came up with Buc, short for Buccaneer. We’re aware there is a long history of curved swords between the introduction of scimitars to Asia by Turkish cultures around 1100 to 1200 AD and their use much later in the Carribean seas by swashbuckling pirates during the 18th and 19th centuries. This evolution may not exactly be linear, and we welcome an exploration of the history and evolution of edged weapons in the discussion.
My point here is: we think this chopper looks awesome, it’s got great flipping action, and it’s just as useful as it is cool. New and noteworthy for this latest Massdrop x FFKW design are 1) contrasting colors on the clip and backspacer, and 2) opening near the spine to allow for opening with a finger flick.
A few housekeeping notes on this drop:
* The special price of $114.99 will only be offered on this first pre-production drop. The regular price will be $124.99. * Serial numbers will be preceded by a color code: G for Gray, L for Blue, Z for Bronze. * This first drop is limited to 1500 total units, but there is not a limit per color. * We’re allowing four months for production and shipping after the drop ends, so our estimated ship date is August 31st, 2018.
Thanks for checking it out, and for making this possible!

About 750 sold in the first two days makes me think we can probably clear out the initial run of 1200 well before the original end date.
ETA- 850 on day three!
Yes, drops end early if the limit is reached. That doesn't change the Estimated Ship Date, but sometimes it does help us to deliver them a little bit ahead of schedule.
In this case, we've been able to make 300 additional units available, but we are not extending the drop end date - so the drop will end in about a week, or if we sell out before then.
Is the blue for the Buc the same blue as shown in the (recently dropped) Crux?
If they have extras from this batch they aren't going to release them until all current owners have theirs in hand and have time to see if any quality issues come up that require replacements. Once they're satisfied that they're done with any needed returns/exchanges then they'll most likely start the next batch (assuming there were enough requests to warrant an immediate next run) so there is a lower wait time on the subsequent drop.
This is just my opinion based on previous "MD made" drops I've watched. The Prism dropped again real quick, but in most cases there is a delay.
Best you can do is hit the request button and wait for the email alert... Or watch the comments to see if anyone decides to resell after getting theirs in hand
You've got about a week, maybe two.
