This is simple first-year economics stuff...

Great product in high demand... but never enough supply. They sell out consistently, and then stop production even though they still have orders pending!

I understand the desire to maintain the mystique surrounding their knives... but Busse is not maximizing their profits. And they're aggravating people like me who would gladly pay them money for a great knife.

In the end they'll lose market share when people will "settle" for something they can actually get their hands on. And the secondary market for Busse knives doesn't put any money in Busse's pockets.

It's bad business.
 
please remember these are semi custom knives and the people at busse are drunk most the time.

plus 97% of the busse secretary's are on maternity leave.

What he said...

...oh, and don't forget that Jerry's roaming the country and hiding Hog Tags 150 days out of the year. Who has time to make knives?
 
I'm always amused when people start citing their economics courses on why Busse Combat won't last. They've probably been doing that for the last 20 years too.

Welcome to the addiction, Icy. You've probably guessed, it's a love-hate relationship. ;)

:D
 
things will speed up after the grinders get vasectomy's, i believe they should all be done in two weeks. :thumbup:
 
OH LOOK! here comes five of the lead grinders now! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Will the FBM be used in this procedure or will there be a special blade created for this? :D

icy27: You have got it bad. I see the INFI addiction in your post. Hang in there bro. You will be pleased. ;)

I wish I had been drinking, now I have to watch the Company Store, seems like your busy doing something too.
 
Another displeased buyer, well, just that more INFI for ME!! Jerry seems to be doing O.K., I'm not worried they will go out of business and I don't think he is trying to sell everyone a knife either, just sell enough. The military isn't complaining from what I have heard. Nuke on!!! Bring on the FOLDER!!!

:eek:
 
Lots of folks reading this one I see. Keep it civil my friends.

Icy, I think Jerry has been at it long enough to know what he is doing and it seems to be working for him. As for those who would "settle" for less rather than waiting for the quality we have come to expect, good all the more for the rest of us. Also, I don't think Jerry really gears his production to assist the secondary market. He does realize that there are some of us who buy during production runs to perhaps sell in the secondary to expand out personal collections. Don't think for a minute that the secondary market isn't tied to the primary. As for economics, I am just a dumb polack, but my money is on Jerry.
 
the power company shut the power off at busse for 2 weeks as the bill wasn't paid.

i guess jerry sent his driver into town to cash in the aluminum cbl cans to pay the bill, the dumb ass hit a cow and wrecked the truck.

cans and moopoo all over the road.

you can't blame busse combat for a streak of bad luck :(
