2 points should be adressed concerning these things. when busse stops taking orders for a knife, they do not stop producing the knife altogether, they simply stop taking orders for that model. the production of that model does not stop until all orders that have been placed are shipped.
"maximizing their profits" implies that busse should be trying to make their company as big as they possibly can, and taking in as much money as possible. the more bussiness you do and the more money you bring in - the more of your life you have to put into it, and the more hectic it becomes.
there is a point at wich you look at how you live your life in order to maintain a level of profit and you realize that that life is no longer worth living.
while increased profits are good - they are good to a point. money is not everything, and when it starts to encroach on your ability to maintain functionality in your bussiness and personal life, it becomes a detriment rather then a benefit.
as has been stated before, busse combat has been around long enough to show that it is a functional company on an economic level, and it is run by jerry busse, who will decide what he feels is best for his company, not what is seen to be the best from a purely econimic theory stand point.
right now busse combat offers one or two knife models at a time for ordering. you can order as many of that model as you like while it is offered, and it will be shipped to your door within 6 months. that alone makes them better then some makers who have had to stop taking orders completely in order to keep up. i cannot expect busse combat to make every model at the same time when there is apperently enough demand for individually offered models to keep them busy. i would rather busse combat work within a limited offering basis and work well then to have them try to grow exponentially at the cost of shipping times/production or the people behind the bussiness.
likewise i cant assume to know the inner workings of busse combat as a company, or on an economical level. i'm only commenting on what it appears to be.
ymmv, all of wich to be taken with a grain of salt.
I would already have one (or more) if they were more available
