Hey Carl,
Do you think that the price reduction has anything to do with the flooding of the market with the chinese blks? i certainly hope not. I know i can buy the Chinese blk for less than $1,000.00 and they guarentee the hardness to be above 187 on the birnel hardness scale, or they will buy it back and pay the shipping (no it's not a PBM blk)
