Mike L. says that he didn't get non-serial and only got a small amount of the 72's he asked for.
I ordered one Thu 6-1-11 from him. Stag because the only other long pull is purple.
I will post pics when it arrives. (Greg has a few non-serialized I see)

Them things got a hell of a spear blade on 'em! :shock: I suppose it'd come in handy for butterin' bread or flipping pancakes, but I still would've rather seen a drop point or clip blade. ::teary_eyes:: I'll say this, you could sharpen one of them things for a couple lifetimes before you ever run out of blade! ::super_happy:: I really like that ebony! ::nod::

So it would seem like all the Burnt Stags didn't get released,or the production is much lower than originally planned. Greg had some but they were picked over by the time I got there,I did manage to find a nice one but its not here yet,Monk has one,anybody else?? ::shrug::
