sorry bout that... i already answered what the post was about in another earlier post
i feel kinda like a jackass....
eh, re edit, screw it. i know its kinda late in the game to be saying it, but i think it has some worth while statments in it. also, wanna stress again that the end of my journey to the highest end highest hard use performance knife set led me to busse, and even if they were half finished i would still buy them. i can be pretty positive that a swamp rat or a 1/4 s7 blade wont fail me, but id ont put my faith in any others.
on the sentence stating that all sheath makers have knives available to them, it is possible that that is no longer the case, and it may be worth giving nic ramirez an email asking about it. he might be able to get to you easier/faster then jerry.
on to the original (late in the game) post

Perhaps it is just not finished to your wants or needs. Personally I wouldn't tell Jerry, who has been making knives for over 20 years, that he isn't finishing his knives correctly.
when you cant cut anything with a knife, it is unnacceptable. a knife is designed to cut, otherwise it is a wedge.
you are correct that if it was intended to be that way from the factory for a specific purpose (possibly for chopping super hard objects with a pub defender?), then i have no complaints as to the original design or intent, but as a
knife it is simply unacceptable. i could not get my pub defender with factory edge to cut
anything. it has amazing tip strenght, and could be stabbed full force with absolutely no threat of tip damage, but again, a knife that cannot cut, is unnaceptable.
and honestly, as far as busse combat knives are concerned, if they came without an edge, meaning a completely squared off un sharpened edge, i would be fine with it. i still would have bought every one of them that i bought, and put an edge on it myself. poor cutting performance doesnt deter me from my views of the knife if i can personally change it to my likeing.
infi is infi, it has attributes that cannot be found anywhere else, and so i will buy them regardless of fit and finish. every man who owns a knife should be able to sharpen it himself to a personally satisfactory edge. (not taking a personal stab at the original poster, but i honestly beleive that statement to be true)
Public remarks like that seem to be made just to cause trouble. Speak with the man in person (phone) before bashing him and his good name on his own forum. I bet you a knife he makes it right for you. Just my 2 cents
