hahaha, well actually the seller contacted me first and was set to settle a deal but i held off to see if orville was going for it! orville- ask the seller if silverloaf backed off, he will verify that i did. :D wasnt mine to go after, i should have waited longer before contacting him in the first place. after reading Harrywallys comment ("Orville should have this! Don't take it on him guys. Anthony, this is one of those blades that will be the focal point of your collection. GO GET IT!!") i admit i felt a little ashamed for being such an eager beaver haha! this will be an awesome piece, enjoy it, no regrets!
