Busse Scrap Yard?

One thing I have noticed over the last few years as a supervisor of staff is that nowadays everyone wants things done up for them and handed to them on a silver platter. No one wants to spend a few minutes actually doing some work and looking for things. Mabey they never learned the fine art of how to find things out on your own, I don't know. My dad was one of the "Queen's cowboys" (RCMP for those who don't catch the slang) in Canada, and one of the many things he passed on to me was the point that if you want or need info, get off your derriere and dig for it. It seldom comes up to you and says "here I am". Ditto here, there's a ton of refferences and info in here, but it does require a bit of work. The older staff I work with seem to have a grasp of this basic fact, but I've noticed lately that the newer folk seem to think that this should be done for them. Oh really? Man, to think back in the days before the net, how did we ever find anything out?
(Gawd, this is scarey, at 44 I'm starting to sound like the old man! He was right!)
This stuff is enough to drive a man to drink, but the walk will do me better! Cheers JB!
 
Please keep the current system as it is!!!!!!!! It's more fun than waiting for my Randall, as already mentioned. I've only got three years left 'til my Model 1 gets here, and it was ordered over a year ago. Conversely, I only have (hopefully) a few days 'til my Busse FBMLE gets here and it was only ordered a few months ago. This has been discussed AD NAUSEUM but as long as it keeps coming up, I'll keep pleading: DON'T CHANGE A THING. (Jerry: There's a bottle of JWB in it for you!)

Well, they're probably not worth much of anything anymore anyways. I'll PM you pics of some used stuff in my garage I'll trade you them for.

Discussing jerry's production protocol and steel chemistry is becoming a weekly event around here.

You can boycott his blades all you like but the fact of the matter is that until someone outdoes INFI, jerry will always sell more blades than he can make. Aside from blade steel, jerry has some of the most innovative designs around. Superior steel, superior warranty, top notch designs and plenty of variations in handle/blade colors will continually bring folks back even if they have to F5 5 ours of their life away just to score one blade.

BTW... since we have so many folks who converse with "famous makers" who like to say INFI is 440C why dont you disclose their names. If they said it then they should stand behind their words, right?

INFI and twinkie filling may also have one common quality.

I believe they both would last forever. :thumbup:
 
Hi guys, I've mainly been at the Scrapyard (and Spyderco) forums, but I thought I'd throw in an observation. Busse, Scrapyard, and Swamp Rat may *appear* to be all convoluted/secretive at first, but it turns out that searching for knives, and frustrations and successes that result become a good source of entertainment. You get a quality product, and you have fun! Now, I'm just waiting for my INFI Scrapper to come in.
 
Liverwurst?!?!? Bah!

I analyze metal for a living and I can tell you that INFI is composed entirely of peanuts and corn. I think we are all familiar with the durability of peanuts and corn...

The peanuts and corn are suspended in a Liverwurst Matrix.
