"Ripped Off" ? really ?? wow, That is basically accusing them of stealing or misleading you ?
How exactly are you being "ripped off" ????
Did you actually buy a bunch of coated Busse's expecting something else ?
Did they force you to buy them ?
If you actually bought or own a bunch of coated Busse have you sold them and lost money ?
Have you actually used them and they did not perform as advertised ?

Just curious because those are pretty strong accusations.

The definition of a fanboy, while everyone stated their opinion in a professional manner, you bro, is behind your computer being all emotional.

I don't mind coated blades. I just don't buy them. Instead, I would rather see more satin models with concomitant premium pricing.

If everyone can produce knives with satin finish at a decent price so can Busse.
The coated vs satin thing is a Busse marketing strategy
Why not offer the bead blast or BIG at the same price as the coated blades?

Look at nathan carother. He makes big knives in cpm3v with a very involved HT for a reasonable price.

INFI doesn't cost more than cpm3v

Fun thread. . . Not a fan of the personal attacks.

Buy what you like and try to refrain from disparaging others along the way.
