An Interesting Bit of Busse History

I ran across this while looking for another old post. Incidentally, these are some of my most favored knives.

That's awesome Mike! I love reading Jerry's old posts!

quite possibly one of the best production mistakes ever!

in theory at least....I can't be sure since I haven't tried one yet - happily accepting ZT donations

One of the great blades to come out of the shop. Great history lesson.

Some of the best kitchen knives ever!

Here is another oops in the ZT series.....

This blade is marked as ZTSH but its actually a ZTNO.

Beautiful knives, Mamun!

Hindsight · Sep 21, 2013

Mamun that is a obvious error, send it to me and I will dispose of it immediately.

Man I wish that was my ZT collection. I am jealous.

The Deal for the mis-marked was that the very first 5 sets sent out came to me as the West Coast Regional Coordinator with all the ZT NO's mis-marked.

Jerry wanted all of them returned ASAP and no photo's taken.

I asked to keep at least one, and after a meeting of the Executive Committee, it was decided that I could keep one, on the condition that there would be no publication of photos for 5 years, which I agreed to and followed through with.

Eventually, I sold it to Monty

Wow! I never knew about the mislabeled ones...

and

that is a beautiful collection you have there Monty!

Monty,

Brother that is a smoken ZT grouping. Congrats!!! The only ZT types I have anymore is the ZTBM and the ZTSH in Black Crinkle and Tan Grips.
